All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

[cynic0405]

Hi there,

My DS born in 2009, and I’m keen to send him to St Stephen’s.
But we dont live within <1km, and no church affiliations also.
I guess to increase our chances, I’d have to do PV.
How "early" can I call to register as PV?

Appreciate any help!

Thanks!

Born 2009, PV application is this year. Check out their website or call them anytime. Most schools accept applications from Jul to Nov. Results will be announced around Jan 2014, then you PV till mid-2015 before the registration.

Dear parents, I’ve applied to Radin Mas Pri as parent volunteer for 2014. As required, I’ve submitted my application form and CV to them. However, the sch also needs applicants to write up a DETAILED proposal on the work they intend to volunteer at school. Does anyone have any kind advice on how to write this proposal?

Am thinking of applying PV for SNGS. What is the chances of being accepted?

Thanks.

You are wrong, BigD! I have THE answer to that question. What's more, mine is the \"model answer\".

So, the answer is.....

Her chance of being accepted is higher than if she doesn't apply at all.

Hi Little Cheng Mommy,


I have written a "detailed" proposal (actually not really a proposal) to 2 hot schools and was granted interviews. Eventually I was accepted by one of the schools and did my PV.

What I did was :

1) Check out on the websites of the schools that you wish to write in
2) Look at the strength and weakness of the school in both academic and CCAs
3) List down the "services" or skills that you can provided in specific areas eg.
if you have experience in HR, then you may suggest that you can help to
"prepare" students going through the DSA interview - now some enrichment
centres actually run such course. One of the parents from the school I went
provided that training for the kids and all got through the DSA interview!
4) During my PV at school, they actually look for parents that were formerly
from uniform groups, sportmen etc to assist in the CCAs.
5) I took a US brain training course 5 years ago and when I wrote in to schools,
I put that down in the proposal as I found from the websites that a few
schools have engaged external instructors to teach this course for student
to overcome study difficulties and excel in sports.

Hope that helps and wish you good luck!

Ok, maybe I should repharse my questions.

I wish some mummies here can share me with the experience of applying PV in SNGS and also any ideas what kind of service that they are looking at?
Thanks. :?:
