All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[KaySmom]

I heard 1 popular boys school near bishan area, 1 popular chinese co-ed school in the central west area.

[VooVoo]

I heard that NYPS limits the number of PVs to a very small number…like less than 30

[KaySmom]

Possible, there are some reading moms and some other PVs I think. Traffic wardens - there are about 15 I think. So probably around that number.

Hmm...thanks. Any more info regarding PVs for NYPS?

[KaySmom]

They are quite upfront with what they need - which seems to be Traffic Wardens most of the time. Jim Rogers’ wife is also a PV I think - as a reading mom. Saw that on ST.

[Luanee]

NYPS only has 50~51 applicants for phase 2B for the past 2 years. Excluding grassroot leaders, I think their PV intake is indeed very low which is good.


As to which are the schools that accept unlimited PVs, can definitely rule OUT Henry Park, Nan Hwa and Pei Hwa becoz these 3 schools rejected my PV applications! LOL…

[KaySmom]

Actually most schools would still screen. But they do not necessarily match the number of PVs to the no of applicants. From what I understand, some schools do that - e.g. they look at historical trends and then they project the number of vacancies that would be available and then they accept only that number of PV applicants.


Some schools screen but they do not take the extra step of trying to match the number of PVs to the usual number of vacancies available in Phase 2B. Hence - the overflow situation.

How is it be PV of NYPS? Heard have to go through interview where like going job interview. :lol:

[KaySmom]

Yes, need to write in and then get shortlisted for interview. You will then be interviewed by a panel of about 3 or 4 pple.


Most schools conduct interview, e.g. RGPS, Gongshan, Catholic, Nanhua

[VooVoo]

I think it is not easy to be even selected for the interview!
