All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[gail5775]

Hi mommies,

I’m new in this thread.
Did anyone of you apply PV at Nanyang Pri and called up to go for interview?
I’ve applied mine early this yr and Mrs Ong said will notify us end of the yr?
Should I stay hopeful?
Would appreciate your advises…

Some schools will post the application form on their websites, which you can download fill in the required information and mail. I know of one school, whereby the parent has to collect the form from the school. I brought along relevant documents and complete the form on the spot.

I suggest you contact the school via their general contact number. The staff should be able to answer your queries about how to apply for PV.

Dear Parents,


My daughter is born in Apr 08 and we are hoping for her to get into RGPS . However, we are staying at Sengkang and its very worrying on our eligibility as its not <1km.

We have decided to PV but wondering if its too early to submit the application form now ?

And since our home distance is much far fr RGPS, are there successful cases of kids going to RGPS whose staying at Sengkang or Punggol … ??

Once the PV form is submitted usually how soon we will know the result if we are selected to be one of the PV ?

Thanks a million for ur kind help …

Hi dogbaby_25


Do you plan to move closer if you successfully register your child in RGPS? If not, it would be very tiring for the child to travel such long distance to and from school.

And if you already have plans to move, you might want to consider doing it earlier plus if you are accepted as PV, the chances of registering your child into the school would be higher.

Your only child? Any other plan for another one? If not have to go through again ..... :faint:

You have to visit their website to check which year born child they are accepting for PV application. Or you can phone the school for infor. As for distance, this year, there was balloting at P2B for those living more than 2kim.

HI dogbaby_25,

If you wish to register your daughter in RGPS, then I would urge you to start looking for a place within 1 km to be on safe side…of course if you successfully become a PV, then time spent travelling is faster.
I remember a parent once mentioned that xx years ago, people living in Pulau Ubin can apply to get into RGPS but not any more with so many condos there now.

Hi Parents,

Thanks for all ur kind reply.
We are not financially stablised to afford a house nearby RGPS.

Is that any other alternative that allows my daughter to get a seat in RGPS.
Can I rent a apartment ?? If yes, should I do it now itself even before PV ??

Anyone applies for PV will be selected or only selected ones will be eglible for the PV ?
