All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[mummy of 3]

ebebel:

Does anyone know what will happen if the school has no more jobs for parents to clock the 40 hours? Will all PVs be eligible regardless of number of hours clocked, since it is of no fault of parents?

If they cant clock the 40 hours, then they will not be in P2B.

called the general office is no use. you must have an internal info and pull string.


Find out who is the chairman of Parents Volunteer Group.

Can you propose work like filing at admin office, help teachers to prepare teaching materials, help out in class outings, gardening, doing books review posters for library, etc?

At SAJS, the coordinator assigns the jobs. I'd probably do what you suggest, to take the initiative to offer my services and hopefully can clock the remaining 12 hrs. :gloomy:

If they agree and the work can be done at home, propose that you work from home but you both must agree on the hours to be counted towards the 40 hours for work done off site. They might prefer PVs to work offsite so that PVs do not \"disturb\" them. All the best!

Just got an email from SAJS! Prayer answered!

There's a Game Day in March and I've just signed up for this PV! *Phew* But still need another 1-2 'jobs' to clock the remaining hours! Pray there will be more!

I am new to the PV system and have the following doubts, hope that some seasoned parents able to shed some light to the following questions:


1) I wish to apply for PV in the primary schools. Unfortunately, me and my wife are working 5-1/2 days week. Are most working couple required to apply leave for the PV as the activities often fall on a weekday?

2) Am I allow to reject a PV after applying for it?

Any feedback is well appreciated ~ KS yet confused Dad. :?:

Thank you.

Hi Zeus
I'll try and answer your questions, ya?

1) So far all the parents I met at PV jobs hold full time jobs and they all took leave (me too) for PV work on weekdays. There are also a few SAHM who had to arrange for childcare (those with younger children) so they could come.

2) Yes you can drop out later, usually the schools have over-subscribed number of PVs so they wouldn't stop you from dropping out. For SAJS, if you reject three consecutive jobs without a 'valid' reason (eg. sick, overseas, etc), they drop YOU out of the list automatically! :scared:

I also have a friend who decided not to apply at a school after completing the 40 hours of PV... take it as a service for the community and school bah...
