All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

Wow titank and cafelatte,


How do you manage your time?! Volunteering at one PVG was enough to floor both DH and myself! for us, the good thing is that it was 40 hours for 3 :love:

Ha.ha just used up whatever leave that I had loh in order to do PV with 2 schools. Anyway thinking of doing PV with CHIJ (Kellock) for my DD. :roll:

Manage time…well, everyone has 24hours so just need to prioritize. Anyway, it is just short term and not like we have to slog for 10-20 years ?


KS ? Ya…maybe lor but I am a poor risk taker and figured it was the best thing to do. I agree with hquek - my motivation was to gain more knowledge about the school to help in my final decision making. I also started off with the notion that I will drop out of PV-ing for one of them if I realise the school is not one for my child. I already did over 30hours before I finally got enough information about one of the schools. I decided to just bit the bullet and get two 2B letters as I can’t be sure of the phase 2B situation during registration (eg. balloting required).

haiz… just got back from 2 weeks away and received a rejection letter from HPPS.


Now back to the drawing board again.

So daunting.

happy hols, everyone.


yep, better PV for two schools that we have in mind. being ks parents, that’s the way to go. it’s all for the sake of our children.

good to learn more about the school through PV, and then see the outcome of it.

Hi Funz, you are not alone. Me too got rejected from Henry Park and Nanyang. Too bad… guess it will have to base on luck liao…

Hi Funz & Jav,


Any reasons that NYPS & HPPS not accepting you both into thier PV? Are you all staying more than 2km from these schools?

They did not state the reasons. By the way, I got rejected by NYPS too. They sent me their rejection 3 times. I'm like ok I got it oredi.

And yes, am staying more then 2km from the school. No schools within 2km from where I am staying. Now just hoping that Pei Hwa accepts my PV application. Else really no idea which other schools to try.

Funz,


You mean you had applied NYPS in 3 occassions as PV? :!:

Same here. Rejected by both. Anyone knows about the criteria? Must be rich (stay in Condo) and work in MMC?
