Mandie:

Thanks MMM. I did see some Malay teachers or staff in the school as well. I started the PV in Temasek this week and had been seleted as PV for RSS, guess i will wait till next jun to decide which school to go to. I glad to have the oppt to do PV for both schools, that way i will be able to know the school better before making the decision :lol:

Hi Mandie,

Is it possible to do PV for more than one school? I also would like to apply for PV for Red swastika pri. Can I know how to go abt to do PV? My boy is only 17th months. Is it too early to apply PV?

kayemoss:

Just one question, i studied in Temasek pri for 4 yrs before changing to another sch coz parents shifted pl.. Do i still qualify for phrase 2A if i need to register my gal there?

Yes u do qualify under 2A.

Hi Jerejoy


Yes, you can do PV for many schools as you wish,but you could only register one school in 2B, so eventually you still need to make up your mind. 17 mths probably too early, you may call the school to check when you should submit the form. My girl born on 2004, i called last year, and they told me to get the from in by May this year, and I had received the reply on Jun, but so far no matched job yet.

what the point of apply PV in so many schools? if the school is having balloting during phase 2B, the distance oso take into consideration…


my son got into red swastika during phase 2C this august… phew… now waiting for nov orientation…

[Mandie]

yeah, that is exactly the point, choose wisely before you start the PV. I will do two as I want to feel the schools myself and compare which one is better if my chances to the two schools are alomost equal

I think PV for 2 schools would still be ok for SAHM, but for FTWM, it will be hard even volunteering for 1 school, let alone 2.

[Mandie]

yeah, i understand, i m working too. Temasek requires me to work 3 times a week, one hour each day, I got to work from home 3 times a day as my work place is very far from my place. I am very thankful for my boss’s support. what to do, all for the kid

[jennyksl]

ya, last yr i apply PV at Temask and got in… they wan me to work 3 times a week… how to? me FTWM… cannot afford the time… in the end, drop out the PV…


decided not to do anything, just try for balloting during phase 2C… lucky got in during 11 august balloting… what a relief…

[Mandie]

fully utilise parents as free resources…but must say the work that they assigned is more meaningful, and good chance for me to know the school better, i may decide not to go this school after doing the PV if i think that is not what i want for my kid, and i will not think this waste of time, it is an oppt instead…

Hi jennyks

Congratulation!
Your son got in to Red Swastika, so you didn't do PV at this school right?
sorry do you stay quite near within 1 km from the school?
