My leave already not enough , do PV sure have to take mc already ! :imdrowning:

:scared: sshhh... better not let your HR know... this kinda thinking can get you into big trouble.

I suggest you come clean with the school about you being a FTWM. Some schools are very understanding. They can assign PV whom are working parents with assignments that allows you to clock many hours in a stretch. Like if you take half day or one day and clock that 4 - 8hours.

Yes, and like LOLmum suggests, some schools also allows mum and dad to combine contribution to hit the 40 hours.

Some schools require more than 40 hours for PV so do take note when applying.

Can i stay > 2km and apply for PV, or do the schools always reject such applications?


I am planning to move within 1 or 2km, but only in 2-3 yrs time, cos my daughter only due for P1 in 2014.

[LeeTaiTai]

Oh…Daddy also can . Btw what are the usual assignments or it differ greatly amongst schools ? I heard may need to be traffic controller too ? Can we choose ? We need to go for interview or selection process , what are the kind of question they ask usually ? Must I have special skills or qualification ? Sorry so many questions !!

[dorisp]

It all depends on the school. I believe different schools have different needs. Do find out more during the interview.

Hi LeeTaiTai,


Things we were asked to do-make lanterns, help in library duties, coach P6 students, reading program, selling books etc etc

Hi! Can someone advise - if PV fails to get a place during Phase 2B ballot, do they all go to 2C ballot, ie total 2 chances? If stay 1-2km, but 2C ballot is only for <1km, does the PV still get to ballot in 2C?


Thanks!

Thanks!

yes, if fails in phase 2B, can apply again in phase 2C

no. no special treatment for in PV after phase 2B. if balloting for 2C is wihin < 1km, those staying > 1km including PV, are not successful, and cannot participate in balloting.

PV only allow parent the chance to register in phase 2B that's all.
