dottypooh:Thank you so much for your reply.Hi there,Wint3rland:my son(2014 horse baby) is in N2 this year (2018), he will be in P1 in 2021.
i would like him to study in Qifa or Nanhua (nearer to our house), they are all between 1km-2km. meaning i will be in phase 2C for both?
questions:
1 - do i need to parent volunteer so that i can have a better chance to secure a place for him?
2 - when must we start doing?
3 - can we do for both qifa and nanhua?
Yes, your child will be registered under phrase 2C.
If you become a 40hr PV in the school,you will be eligible to register your child under phrase 2B. Usual practice in Qifa, the school will have limited spots for 40hr PV so that the chance of securing a spot under phrase 2B is extremely high. So far, all 40hr PVs have registered a spot successfully under phrase 2B.
As for registering under the PV scheme, you will have to start registering when your child is in K1(2019),giving yourself one year duration to complete the 40hrs PV duties before the P1 registration period in year 2020. If you enter the 40hr PV scheme successfully, you may begin to clock in the hours starting from July/Aug 2019 to May/June 2020. P1 Registration will start in the month of July, 2020 in your case.
As for fulfilling PVs duties in both Nanhua and Qifa, I am not so sure. Although I have heard of parents doing PV duties for two pri schools before but the schools concerned are not Nanhua and Qifa. You may find out more details by calling the school's general office. You are able to find the number on the school's website. You are also able to download the 40hr PVs registration form via the school's website.
Cheers
Checked with Hubby and we decided to let our son go Qifa~
checked with some of the mummies, they mentioned that we are Singapore and stay within 1-2KM , dont really need to do PV, but im so afraid that we dont get a slot in Qifa
