Hi all!


I have just read all 145 pages of the thread and am going through a panic attack for my ds who'll register in 2018.
Wondering whether it'll be too late to join SHHK as its dragon year too? :slapshead:

no one can safely say becos a lot depends on which school you are after (eg Ai Tong, Tao Nan super popular years back, dunno how much has changed). SHHK pp probably won't know for sure also cos each year the number of letters fluctuate.

Remember that there are 2 intakes of members each year (I think), so if you miss the deadline, you have to wait until the next meeting; and there is NO ASSURANCE they give you a letter even if you do 100 hours of volunteer work or join since you are born.

A better bet could be to join the PV - once you clock the hours, you are confirmed for P2B registration.

Oops, I saw that news when it came out but clear forgot about it. Very out of touch.

I was very keen on Kong Hwa during DS1 registration time, but went to register at another school due to myriad reasons. I don't know what would have been at KH, but definitely no regrets not going because experience at kiddos' school was way better than anticipated.

Mostly, allowing them the luxury to sleep for additional 5/10 minutes was definitely worth it.

Thank you Hquek and JT69. Whoa, that means the huay kuan route should be more competitive than ever

Might have to look at other options already! Thankyou!

Dear parents,


my girl is born in 2011 and will do P1 registration in year 2017. And from what i know, tao nan school does not accept PV anymore.

so we thinking of the hokkien huay kuan route.

Can i know how early should i join hokkien huay kuan and do i need to do volunteer work for the clan too? If i join now, will be about 2 years plus before P1 registration. I also read that the tenure of membership matters more than volunteer work for the clan.

I read that need to get 2 members of the clan to sponsor me so i can join the clan as member. Does that requirement still stand now? I dunno any member…sob

Also when will hokkien huay kuan issue the letter of recommendation? I heard that the clan does not issue such letters for all members but on a case by case basis. So by when will they issue out the letter so that we will know if we have a chance at phase 2B?

Thanks a lot.

PS: I called up both the pri sch and the clan but they dont seem to say much.

Hi


I read through the hokkien huay kuan website. To join as member, i indeed need 2 members from the clan to sponsor me. Can someone here who is a member there, kindly sponsor me? Pls pm me

Thanks for any help

Dear parents,


My son is born in 2011 and is due for P1 registration in 2017. My first choice is Nan Chiau Primary and we are looking at joining SHHK for chance to get into Phase 2B.

Can any existing parents who are members help to endorse my registration? Please pm me at [email protected] if you can help.

Your kind assistance is much appreciated.

Hi,

Most parents who are members do not want to help as names and IC numbers have to be given to pple whom we don't know. One way you can help to get sponsor is to join Hui An (惠 安)clan. Most of the hui An members joined hokkien huay kuan as members too. My dad got my sponsors from his clan members help. Maybe u try to see if feasible rather than post online and u definitely won't get any reply from anyone .sorry cant help much cos now i'm not a member now

[bbmonster]

May I know when will SHKK review their list for membership? Someone mentioned twice a year. But which month will that be?


Thanks.
