Hi zoozoozoo,


Yes, my daughter got ballotted last friday, thanks and praise the lord. I must say that the balloting was very stressful, not for the weak heart. I remembered last year abt 28 PV signed up, but only 23 qualified in phase 2b. I do not know the reason, may be they did not fulfill the 40hours. For clocking of hours, they offer a lot of activities during the briefing, then u can choose those u are interested to sign up. When near the date, they will email you. After u performed the task each time, u are required to sign on a log book.

Their PV program seems very organized and flexible. We have clocked about 60 hours as the project we are on is very interesting. As my daughter got a seat at phase 2b, i am not sure whether more hours help in waiting list when fail in balloting. But to me, i treat this as volunteer work, so don’t mind to spend more time.

Hi,


I have performed PV for St. Nicholas last year and this year (for this year P1 registration). My understanding is that the only critieria for PV is i) the child is singaporean, ii) stay within 1km.
We did not go through any interview. After submitted the application form in August, we were called for a briefing. And there were many activites to choose from once you have been selected. We have done filing, packing, cleaning, hanging up decoration, projects, old newspaper collection etc. All the admin staff and teachers are very nice and helpful in helping us to fulfill the 40 hours requirement. In fact, we have done more than that as we really enjoy the project we were doing:)

Hope this information helps.

Thanks for the tips. I am actually doing volunteer works for St. Nicholas, and stay within 1km…but based on the past year balloting statistic…the chance is still very slim…

Thanks so much for answering my question. I called up Catholic High, CHIJ TPY and CHIJ St. Nicholas, they said as long as one of the parents is Catholic, the child can be registered under 2B…I am not sure though, seems like a lot of different answers from different schools. My daughter will be registered next year. But I will still perform PV for the school of choice, as I think it is important to know the school better through various activities.

Hi all, I am new here. I would like to clarify the phase 2B eligiblity. If only one of the parent is Catholic, will the school let u register under 2B? I have checked the MOE website, and seems it stated that as long as parent is the church member, it should be ok.

However, while browsing the forum, some said the child must be catholic also…???
