All About Parent Volunteers (PV)

happy to be mum:

Hi Joyceling,


Ya.this is 4 in 1 for St Hilda! too scaring to take this type of risks if you still have alternatives! but if don't have any other alternatives and nothing to lose..can still try! hehe..tat is why my neighbour is trying and is going for the heart thumping balloting today! so do you have any other alternative schools in mind (if you do not mind sharing) cause i am still thinking abt my ex-school or a church affilated school which i can apply for Phrase 2B but then is more 2km

hi happy to be mum,
If 2c, i think i will go for poi ching.
still within 1 km. my girl is actually strong in chinese. I donot mind going there. I think I already done my best for her....trying to get the PV.we have went through briefing and 2nd interview with the person-in-charge.
( just my thought, i think the process of selecting the PV is quite bias. she will reject some of the parent who stay within 1 km, she think we still can try in 2c, and take in those who stays above 2 km. She think they can be PV for longer time.And the true is those stay above 2km wil have to ballot. Do not know what she is thinking.Maybe she is one those who stay above 2km last time.) :siao:
I think most important is parent and child 's own will to study, as long as the school is good enough for your child, I am ok . I have a few friends's daughters is from neighourhood schools, they are doing well and get into nayang girl high, raffles girl and dunman high. So it all depends on you as a parent to support your children and their willing's to study.

Agree that the selection process for PV is not transparent enough. Last year, applied to be PV at Nan Chiau Pri school and was rejected without an interview and no reason given. This is despite listing down many areas of expertise which I could contribute to the school. Subsequently, I hear from others that due to overwheming no. of applications, they shortlist those non-working parents as they are more readily available when the school needs to 'activate' them... Not sure if it is true but certainly, some degree of biasness is involved.

hi, is it true that if the PV application is sent to NYPS late, they do not even consider? not a single bit?


my gal is born in 2005 and due only in 2012 for p1 but the lady said registration is already closed…

er... wonder which is better.. I applied months ago but have not received a single word!! lagi sian... just left wondering like that woh... :roll:

[lokkc]

at least you still have hope since they did not reply you but for me … completely been rejected


to be honest if you ask me I rather be in your shoe …

Was actually thinking to reply to their rejection letter about their transparency of PV selection … maybe not … forget about it …

don’t think they even know what they are looking for, as they just ask all parents to write in and like picking / doing "window shopping" if you are lucky that day while browsing thru the stack of application if they notice something fancy and nice "bingo" you may have the chance up be call up as PV

I beleive all parents can do their so call volunteer works but too bad many of us just wasn’t even give the chance

I received an official rejection letter from HPPS before, but that was 2-3 yrs ago. Not so sure whether is it still the same now..
