All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[dyiow]

phtthp:

maybe this school very hot, only can accomodate limited PV vacancies. But it's over subscribed many times, really can't absorb anymore.

I'm just curious about the selection criterial for it. Simply can't accept the reason for overwhelming response. Seems like not transparent enough..... Dunno why not selected.

Hi dyiow, do you have Plan B?


Not advising you to give up on this school but perhaps you should also start Plan B such as applying to another school for PV to avoid missing deadline.

Hi can anyone share on their experience for PV with Ngee Ann Primary School? How’s the PV application process? Are they very selective? Also, if we stay >2km from the school, anyone could advise if it is worth to even PV coz I heard there are balloting for less than 2km? Any advise will be much appreciated.

I do not know of Ngee Ann PV selection.

But for the past years, balloting had only occurred under phase 2C.

PV falls under phase 2B. Phase 2B applicants had been 100% successful in the past years.

Hi Tankee, thanks for the info. We are considering either Ngee Ann Primary or Haig Girls for my daughter. Anyone could share your opinion on both schools? A bit in a dilemma coz we have 2 kiddos - a girl and a boy. If NAP, then we can consider putting 2 kiddos in the same school. But my hubby is an ex-boy from Catholic High; which makes it a bit of a waste not to put our boy there (since I heard is a pretty good school). However, we all stay in the East hence sending him to Bishan would be a bit of a chore. Care to share, anyone?

You can alway try, but yet to hear of any appeal case that succeeded. Meanwhile better start your plan B.
