Your child will be P1 in 2014 or 2015? If it's 2015, didn't know the school would take in PVs so early...

[KiddyLow]

My son will be P1 in 2014.

Yes. That's how the school works.

[KiddyLow]

Yup. Called the school n that’s what they say. Got to complete 40hrs by 30 jun 2013.

a lot of parents do volunteering work for the desired school that they want to enrol their child in. is this really a way to have a better chance of securing a seat for my child? heard that this volunteering-work system will be strike off soon, anybody heard of it?

[milo17]

yes some primary schools eg BPPS are doing away with PV for 2014’s P1 but not all following the same. MOE so far never mention of striking off PV. Which primary school are you looking at? it is best you call the school and find out.

got rejected to PV at SCGS as expected! sigh… stay only opp the school but chances of getting in is sooo slim… and no other schools in the vicinity for my girl! even though registration is next year… i am starting to feel the urgency…

Dear Absolutewild,

Your contributions as a parent volunteer would be very much welcomed and appreciated once your daughter is enrolled into SCGS, or into any other school.
