Some folks just like more info. This is what the forum is meant for as well…informal sources & I guess to keep one another going. Bear with us!

Hi all,


I’m registering my son this month for 2016 intake, at Phase 2B under PV. When will I know if balloting is required? And when will balloting be held if required? What if my spouse is on business trip during the registration week?

Just planning & scheduling ahead. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

anyone has feedback on this childcare which is located at Jalan Tani (Kovan/Hougang)? Thanks in advance.

Hi there! My daughter was in the 18mths class from 2013 and this year my son is there. I think Zheng laoshi is great with the kids, she's very patient and yet able to handle them without needing to raise her voice.

The other thing i like is Zheng laoshi - the form teacher - speak Mandarin, so my kids are exposed to it throughout the day.

When i was searching for a childcare in 2013, i combed the radius and visited many of the privately-run ones... My neighbours recommended me to Preschoolers' as their 3 grandchildren graduated from there. The premises is absolutely the cleanest of all I visited. No HFMD I know of last year.

Hope it helps.

[quote="zbear"]I was a PV in Rosyth 8 years ago n I helped out in the library at lunch time once a week for 1 year.


During my time, I was told that the school prefers SAHM and I was a FTWM.
I didn’t have any specific skills but I told them what n how I can contribute towards the school. I showed my sincerity n genuine intentions. I think that helps a lot.

Maybe I was just lucky to

That was what i heard too, about the preference. But doesn’t seem to be the case so far. Many of the pvs are ftwm.

I think if interested, weigh your chances & try. The school just turned single session so the requirements & profiles they’re looking for might be different.

Hi parents,

I would like to register for PV at Rosyth. I will be grateful if there are any parents who have serve PV at Rosyth to shed some light.

1. If I am within 1km how are my chances to be selected for PV
2. What do I have to do if I am selected?


I do not have any skill sets nor I have done well academically and I am not good in sports either . I do not know what I can do for the school. I didn't expect I need to plan so early in advance to get my child in the preferred choice. Thanks in advance

Hi there,

The application process include first an application form with some questions to answer. Suggest you go through it, answer to the best of your ability and see if you're selected for interview. Take it one step at a time & don't worry about your qualifications. I don't know how they choose the PVs but I guess being within 1km is an advantage.

1) It seems that years prior to 2014, PVs within 1km all got in and balloting only applied to 1-2km. In 2014 however, there was balloting even within 1km. So how this year turns out is anybody's guess.

2) The tasks are generally administrative, can include preparing awards for the students, and helping out during first 3 days of school.

Hope it helps.

I personally think parent volunteers generally contribute more to the school than alumni. Unless alumni has programs to enable its old boys or girls to give other than money.

Tks!

Hi all, were there changes to P1 registration for grassroots recently? I missed the news on last week’s papers.

Schools might also consider the distance u stay from the school. If it’s a very popular school & you stay > 2km they’ll rather not you waste your time since chances are very low.
