Sorry........i need to highlight. My boy is born in 2003.

Hi Janice

If your boy is born in 2003, which means, his registration will be next year 2009? If so, I don't think your PV is accepted. You could have started PV at least 2 years in advanced.

Anyway, for PV at St Hildas, your chances of getting in will be high ONLY if you are less than 1km.

You might want to call up the school to check on your PV status instead of waiting.

For schools who don't stipulate a PV Form to complete, we have to write a \"cover letter\"? Anyone has any idea how long this letter is, usually? 1 page? :roll:

One page should be enough, state your qualifications, interests, expertise. Brag about all the things you can do. Talk about how keen you want ur child to join the school. But after all these, they may still reject u, esp for those popular schools.

I heard of one friend who was rejected as a PV, then she appealed to the principal, and later had to submit a proposal for the school's project. End up she still didnt get accepted as a PV,

U just have to write one and change the school names if u are applying to a few schools. Below is the list of activities i put in my letter to one particular school but I didnt get accepted to this school, LOL. THe one I got accepted to had a generic form to fill.

\"Events Organizations, Assistance during school activities/excursions,
IT, Art & Craft, Photography, Library, Gardening/Landscape, Bulletin editorial, Administration work, General\"

Has anybody applied PV to Henry park for registration in 2010. My son is born in 2004 and I applied for PV this year in June. So far I haven’t got any reply. Did anybody else apply and got a response.


I live in the west and when we approached Rulang they asked us to come only next year. What other schools I can approach this year for PV for 2010 registration.

Please kindly let me know.
