So which should I chose to volunteer as, PV or Community? What are the pros and cons of each?

In my opinion, PV for school will only let you have P2B privilege for the school you volunteer but as you volunteer there, you get to know the school better. For Comminity work, ie. GRL, you get P2B privilege for schools within that GRC so you get more choices.

Both are subject to balloting within P2B if applicants exceed number of vacancies and the distance between your home and the school will play an important part when there is balloting.

Different schools and GRCs have different tasks and hours required so you will need to find out more from the specific school and GRC inorder to make better comparison.

Hope this helps.

for grassroot community route - from now till July 2013, remaining time left at most 1.5 years ....


thus ask that specific GRC you're interested in - when is the fastest time before you're certain that you can be promoted to EM level (assume you can prove to them that you're very committed), to get hold of that letter in time to register in July 2013 for P1 2014 ?

for PV route - call up that specific school you interested in, ask when can you be notified earliest whether or not they accept you as PV (in case the school is too popular), how many hours need to clock ?

best is enlist your spouse to help you. each one try one route.

if no balloting is required within that distance range you stay from that school, you can pick & choose the school (if you come under grassroot).

but if balloting is required, answer lies in luck on that day.

Hi all,


Reporting here liow!

Cheers!

[Pisceanblues]

Since DD will only qualify for Phase 2C, need some expert help to analyse & shortlist potentially which primary school to try for or should I just stay in HK and let her finish P1 in the SIS HK b4 coming back.


Also :
1. Will school allow to apply in 2C if staying >2km?
2. Any idea what they do in golf CCA and is it worth to join school that conduct this CCA?

Background
- planning to return from HK around mid 2012 and put up in parents place in TPY first
- DD has been going to International kindergarden & learning golf since 3 and with personal coach since 4

Currently shortlisted schools
- Pei Chun : just opp my parents hse so <1km but sure have to ballot
- CHIJ (TPY) : >1km so unlikely have chance to even ballot but thinking of buying a place within 1km
- Marymount Convent : >1km
- St Anthony’s Canossian : >2km but have golf CCA
- SIS in HK : stay in HK to finish P1 then transfer back in P2

Thanks

hi all,

i’m reporting here too.
Was very surprised when we went to Rivervale to apply for PV and was told it had been closed.
I thought we can only start applying for PV only 2 years before P1 registration.
Haiz…so disappointing

1. Distance is not a criteria in phase eligibility. It only comes into play when there is balloting.

2. Worthwhile in which aspect? :? Aiming for DSA?
