TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Parents may begin their registration two years prior to the Primary One Registration Exercise. Closing date for registration will be 31 May, one year before the year of the Registration Exercise. Late application will not be considered.
Selection is not on a first-come, first-served basis. The school reserves the right to select volunteers who are willing and able to perform their duties during working days and are able to meet the needs of the school. Interviews will be held for shortlisted applicants only. The school will not entertain any telephone calls made during the selection period i.e. between May and June. All unsuccessful applicants will be notified by post in July. The decision of the school is final and the school is not obliged to provide any reason for unsuccessful applications.
Selected parents must voluntarily serve and complete at least 40 hours of service in the school by 31 May of the year of the Primary One Registration Exercise. The school shall not be held responsible for Parent Volunteers (PVs) who are unable to meet the minimum 40 hours of service. PVs who have not completed the minimum of 40 hours by the end May of the year of registration, will automatically be disqualified from the scheme and will not be able to register under Phase 2B during the P1 registration exercise.
PVs who wish to terminate their involvement while they are in the scheme, have to submit a withdrawal form to the officer in charge at hamsiah_ahmad@moe.edu.sg (opens in new tab)
