All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

For us, it is simple. Based on what we know, rmps offers decent environment for the kids to grow. I dun think it is that competitive too. It is also pretty near to our work place.

We are staying out of 2km. Candidly, we tried a few schools. The one that is nearer to our home, ie less than 2km, rejected us. My ex colleague's fren, who stays at jln kayu, was offered a pv at nanyang primary. So I think distance is not an issue.

Hi wenwen, just curious, when u submitted your parent volunteer application to the schools, did you send in your PSLE, O'level and even your higher education certificates? Thanks

No. We didn't. But we submitted our resumes, proposals and highlight the areas that we think we could contribute to the schools as well as relevant exp. This is when I appreciate that I have been involved actively in my school cca. Phew!

Raffles Girls Primary School ranks top in accolades doled out by the MOE, with Rulang Primary School and St. Hildas Primary School running a very close second and third, respectively. Ai Tong School comes in fourth, while Catholic High School rounds out the top five spots. Number six is CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls School, followed by Chongfu School in seventh place. Gongshang Primary School comes in a very close eight place when examining the MOE awards. Henry Park Primary School has the ninth place spot while Kong Hwa Primary School finishes up the top 10. It’s important to note that Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Primary School and Maris Stella High School have also received the same number, and status, of awards so it could be safe to say that there is a three-way tie for the tenth spot.

Thanks much for the info. It is very helpful. Candidly, a lot of our friends said we are \"siao\" for considering giving up rgps. While we recognise its merits, we are more concerned if it is most suitable for our girls. Can they take the stress? Hence, we hope to know more about the school thru pv. Hope we will have a clear answer soon.

Anyone has any idea what is the maximum number of volunteers a school can take in?


I am enrolling my son in Woodgrove Primary this coming phase 2C.

Just want to work out my chances.

There is no standard number. It depends on the school's needs.

May I ask if anyone has PVed for Maris Stella before? And if so, what were the duties assigned? I hope to register my ds in 2015 for 2016 intake.

Thanks in advance, trying to gauge my chances.
