[Bedok] Primary Schools

[Lucky]

I think PV for 2 schools would still be ok for SAHM, but for FTWM, it will be hard even volunteering for 1 school, let alone 2.

yeah, i understand, i m working too. Temasek requires me to work 3 times a week, one hour each day, I got to work from home 3 times a day as my work place is very far from my place. I am very thankful for my boss’s support. what to do, all for the kid

[jennyksl]

ya, last yr i apply PV at Temask and got in… they wan me to work 3 times a week… how to? me FTWM… cannot afford the time… in the end, drop out the PV…


decided not to do anything, just try for balloting during phase 2C… lucky got in during 11 august balloting… what a relief…

[Mandie]

fully utilise parents as free resources…but must say the work that they assigned is more meaningful, and good chance for me to know the school better, i may decide not to go this school after doing the PV if i think that is not what i want for my kid, and i will not think this waste of time, it is an oppt instead…

Hi jennyks

Congratulation!
Your son got in to Red Swastika, so you didn't do PV at this school right?
sorry do you stay quite near within 1 km from the school?

3 times a week? I thought is finish 40 hours is enough?
Wow they are tyring to squeeze the PV system.

Hi Jerejoy


Yes, you can do PV for many schools as you wish,but you could only register one school in 2B, so eventually you still need to make up your mind. 17 mths probably too early, you may call the school to check when you should submit the form. My girl born on 2004, i called last year, and they told me to get the from in by May this year, and I had received the reply on Jun, but so far no matched job yet.

Hi Mandie,

Thanks for yr the info.

U are so lucky. I'm staying within 1km from Red Swastika too. Will try to do PV to secure the slot.

Actually it is not true that FTWMs cannot do PV work. Some schools have PV activities that fall on weekends, or those that can clock a few hours stretch at a time. Or those overnight camp that even count the night hours. In that way u can fully utilise ur leave to clock the 40 hours easily. Best to check with the school their type of PV activities instead of rejecting the PV option outright just becoz u are a FTWM.
