Hi all,

I have a few questions on PV.

First, a background story to understand before my queries.

I will like to apply PV @ Rosyth next year (2025) for my son born in 2020. I have checked their website yearly since my boy is born and next year PV application starts early Feb 2025. So I will like to prep myself on what's to come if selected.

1. During the interview, what is usually asked? What should I expect?

2. I understand from previous posts that if selected, an \"account\" will be tagged to my son's name and both parents can contribute the number of hours to the account. However, if I am the only parent volunteering, as my spouse is relatively busy, will it be okay as well?

3. What are some examples of PV duties, other than traffic / warden? Do they have like reading buddy / tutor / coach or something like that?

Thank you in advance!

Think of the “account” as being tagged to the child rather than the parents. Hence, both parents can take turns to contribute and top up this account to the required 40 / 80 PV hrs. For example, mom can be the traffic warden on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while dad can be the warden on Tuesday and Thursday. However, both parents can’t perform the same task together to have the hours be counted as double.

Thanks for the information! You mean both parents can volunteer and share one account? Hmm... better check on this with the school.

3. Daddy and mummy share one account, meaning daddy and mummy will contribute to the hours together. That said, it's unlikely schools will allow both parents to volunteer at the same time.

Hi there, my kid is born in 2021 and we are within 1km from Pei Chun. I saw on Pei Chun school website that we can only apply for parent volunteer in September 2025. I was wondering if:
- We only have one year to fulfill the 80 hours quota, before my kid needs to register for P1?
- Is online application on school website the only way to apply?
- Can both daddy and mummy apply together and hit the 80 hours quota together, or the quota is calculated separately?
- Will other volunteering work such as grassroots help to contribute to the 80 hours also?
Thank you!

I'm looking up on MOE's website regarding using grandparent's address for school registration, that there is a 30-month stay requirement from the start of the P1 Registration Exercise. My question is, if my parents are staying within 1km of a school, but I am not, and my kid is staying with my parents. Am I still able to go join the PV program and declare distance under 1km?

I dont understand your question.

If u want to do PV, then start applying to the schools’ (yes, more than one) PV dept or in-charge directly. They need to accept you first. No accept, no need to think further. Move on to next choice.[/quote]

If I do parent volunteer on year 2024, then i move house to the nearest cluster by year 2025. When year 2026, should I register as parent volunteer within 1km distance or parent volunteer outside 2km?

FairField Methodist Primary is very sought after as it’s a co-ed sch & parents with both b/g can send their kids there together. Not sure abt PV after Covid but the places/selection are also very tight.

A good option wld be to stay within 1km & if holds Affiliation thro the Methodist membership via family of churches. If u’re applying P1 admission for 2023/2024, yr TOP in year 2027 might be too far stretch. You can wanting & with a more current Tenancy Agmt, yr P1 registration might stand a better chance, if it’s not over the number of places.

Hi. It’s Fairfield Methodist Primary (not Presbyterian). Just a small matter.

1. No she doesn’t have to. I wasnt when I applied approx 8 years ago (I did tell them that I was willing to move if balloting stats indicated I needed to). Was successful in being chosen but then decided to give it up.

2. Need to check MOE website for the cut off date. See screenshot here:

I am asking for a friend. She is interested in Fairfield Presbyterian Primary.

Question 1. Does she have to be within 1km from the school if she wants to do PV at that school?

Question 2. If she buys a property that will TOP in 2027 that is within 1km from the school, can she use that property address when applying to do PV?

Thank you/

The likelihood of you being selected for PV is low as you are > 2km from the school.

Even if selected, you won’t stand a chance as Nan Hua ballot for SC < 1km in Phase 2B.
