Now that we see more and more parents planning way ahead for their children's schools, it is perhaps a little late that we start this thread only now.


So, parents who are registering in 2017, please fall in here.

Hi All,

My twin boys will be registering in 2017 for 2018 Primary 1 intake. Just sent in my membership application to the SHKH.

Great! Hope you can get in. There are many benefits of being a member of SHKH, other than the P2B priority for SHKH affiliated schools. It comes with many Chinese cultural programmes that you can sign up for which are very good for your child in preschool or primary school.

My main aim is to get them into P2B, as schools around me are more than 2km distance. Also hope to find some programmes for them to participate rather than spending time watching Power Rangers.

Some schools require balloting in 2B, just need to watch out and plan accordingly.

If you live in >2 km, it would be tough even if you join Phase 2B. It really depends on the school as popular schools tend to have balloting for those living <2 km in that phase.

Hi,


Would like to join if its a active community member however the school we are aiming for does not fall under the GRC but falls under 1-2KM does it mean that we will have to apply under phrase 2C instead of 2b?

Thanks!

Eh, I think it's GRL - grassroots leader, not just member le.

Note that they had tweaked the rules a bit for kids registering in 2016 and later.

1. Parents have to be grassroots leaders for at least 2 years (last time 1 year).
2. They will get priority only in schools in the constituencies where they live (not where they choose to serve and where they live).

My prior understanding is that schools must fall under the GRC where they serve but the above (taken from Asiaone) seems to differ a bit. Parents who wish to use this route pls check directly with the GR - they know why parents come to volunteer, no big secret.
