May I know in general how long will it take for PA screen the volunteer application?


From my limit information, it seems the screening time varies quite big case by case. One of my friend become the NC observer only 1 weeks after he submit the form, whist the other even wait 2~3 month before turn into observer.

Any other method can speed up the procedure? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, would appreciate some advice on this as well please? I had submitted my application back in July last year and have not heard a word since! Had followed up in Oct and was told they were screening my application. Does it really take so long to do screening? :roll:

Hi, was wondering if any parents here can share with me the reviews of the Bishan, Amk or Novena branch please? Also, any tips on teachers and referrals would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi parents, my child recently received a spot for next year's nursery slot at Harding Road . I was wondering whether I could get some feedback on their Chinese curriculum. Also, my child has mild speech delay and I'm not sure whether the teachers would be receptive. He is currently attending another pre-school at the moment.

HI hi...

Congratulations ! This is good news as SJCK always has a long waiting list...

The school did face some challenges regarding their Chinese curriculum before... But i understand that the school has recruited a group of China teachers, all of them qualified with pre school certifications, to improve the Chinese curriculum of the school. I heard that they have been very active and enthusiastic in designing the materials and teaching modules..

Personal experience, no doubt my kids were not very fluent in their Mandarin, but they never had any problems in their P1 Chinese (at nyps).. So i am not overly concerned...

1 of the reasons i sent 3 of my children there is the teachers. They are very dedicated, and all of them regards the children by their names. I am very sure your kid will be well loved by his/her teachers.

Perhaps i can suggest, you highlight this to the principal Ms Jacqueline Chung before school starts so she and the staff can pay extra attention on the progress of your child....

Wishing you a beautiful journey in SJCK..

:congrats:

I also received this offer for my child to study at SJCK Harding for 2014. Likewise, I am thinking whether to move my child out of her current church kindy and put her into SJCK.

It is assuring to know that teachers have a genuine love for the child. Can any other parents share their feedback on teachers? Do the teachers give a progress card to update parents on what is happening in school and what they have taught in the previous week/month/term?

Are there any Filipino teachers teaching in the school? Is the school principal experienced? How about the turnover rate of teachers in the school?

Also, are there a lot of additional fees involved besides the supplementary fee and book fee that we are required to pay upfront?

Much thanks for any advice you can offer!
