point 1 is on who are eligible for phase 2B
1(a) is SHHK members
1(b) is not referring to SHHK members but normal non PV parents
just as in 1
is referring to community leaders.
and in point 4 it refers to a "inhouse guidelines", which some said is about being active in SHHK activities. And of course point 7 on the tenure of membership.
there is no mention anywhere that SHHK members need to do 40 hrs of PV at chosen school -
phtthp:
A bit confused with the statistics. From SCGS, the data \"2013\" refers to the year the child starts pri 1 (registration year 2012).
Last year (2012):-hwee pang:
I have another property at Newton, which is within 2km from SCGS. Your advice on this which will you consider? #A - AiTong/St Nics #B NYPS #C SCGS?
With the change of regulation for 2013 registration that gives Singaporeans absolute priority over PRs and foreigners.....I'm not sure how will it change the \"balloting\" landscape and statistics. Hmm..... I'm wondering if they will provide more detailed breakdown on the no. of Singaporeans applying vs placement statistics for 2013.
Balloting occurred for Singapore citizenship children, staying within 1 km from Scgs.
50 registered, 29 places

if your newton property is within 1 to 2 km from Scgs :-
your chance is zero.
On the actual p1 registration day :-
if you are physically there at the school premises, you may ask the p1 duty officer on the spot for the detailed breakdown of the number of sc and pr within 1 km.
In kiasuparents website, \"2012\" http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/novena , I believe \"2012\" refers to the registration year?
Based on historical data over past 5 years, there are no balloting under Phase 2B, except for last registration year 2012 where balloting is conducted for distance beyond 2km.
The competition is only intense when comes to 2C. Am I right?
Anyway, you do point out a risk. If there happens to be balloting in Phase 2B within 1km, then basically I have zero chance..... and I ends wasting my time PVing in SCGS. Not to mention about the difficulty in getting accepted for PV in SCGS (as pointed out by Cherrygirl). -
If refer to p1 balloting statistics found on Scgs school website :-
I)
Last yr (2012) registration for 2013 p1 intake :-
Phase 2b
- balloting occurred for sc, staying more than 2 km.
34 registered, 30 places
Means out of 34 total applicants in 2b -
All those staying within 2 km no need to ballot.
They just walk straight in. Who need to ballot? Are those staying more than 2 km.

2 years ago (2011) registration for 2012 p1 intake :-
Phase 2c
- balloting occurred for sc, less than 1 km.
51 registered, 43 places

I'm in the midst of checking with SHHK...... I had just received an email response from them, where they provided me the similar link. i.e. SHHK 2009 FAQs.
It seems like membership's recommendation letter and PV are independent. From what I interpret, to qualify for P2B, we either go through the membership qualification criteria for which we receive a recommendation or perform PV alike those non-SHHK schools.
If via PV, the criteria is established by the respective school directly.
If via membership criteria....., I had sent further clarification and is awaiting for their response. No 4 and 6 FAQ seems to suggest and mentioned in this forum, was based on SHHK's \"house rules\", most likely, active membership and tenure of membership.
With the increased popularity of SHHK schools, what it seems like is the change of their house rules, which may include some volunteering work with SHHK......That is what I heard from a few friends, but pending clarification from SHHK.......or if anyone here, who has the answer to this??
Argh! This is a really tiresome process! -

I had finally called SHHK to confirm the treatment. As per to officer who took my call, it seems like the FAQs dated 2009 is still the prevailing document. i.e. There is no need for volunteering under the Huay Kuan membership scheme.
Phase 2B recommendation letter from SHHK is awarded based on the committee's assessment. Guideline for issuance is unclear and it was mentioned that it is on a case-by-case basis.
It is optional for SHHK members who wish to do volunteer work. The 2013 FAQ is for such. Perhaps to increase the chances of obtaining the recommendation letter from SHHK? -
Dear all,
I will be registering my son in this coming jul.
My current home address from the school is 1 to 2 km.
My mother in law current home address is my home address.
However, my mother in law is staying with my sister in law n her home address is within 1km from the school.
If my mother in law (i.e the care giver) change her home address now, and can I use my mother in law address to register so that we will be within 1km? -

The address in your mother-in-law's NRIC shows your home address, but she is staying with your sister-in-law and now you are asking whether she can change the address in her NRIC to reflect your sister-in-law's address? If you are going by the caregiver route, your child will be in the 1-2 km category even if your sister-in-law house is next to the school. So, you might as well use your own address, since your child will be in the 1-2 km category anyway. -
Dear class monitor,
Is there any difference as to whether the it is within 1 km or 1 to 2 km categories?
