All About Church/Clan/Society Membership

hi all !!
i’m probably able to get in via 2B (Church affilition) but i’m not within 1 or 2km from the school.
Any views on the probability of getting my child into the school ?
Or sld i buy a unit 1km from the school to up my chances ?
Thanks ! -
Does SHHK give recommendation letter to all its members or just selective? If selective, how do they select, what criteria they look for to justify for the recommendation to the affliated schools? Sometimes I feel that the whole thingy about PV and clan/etc is a bit unfair, MOE shld do away or implement some controls over it…haiz…

hi admummy,
SHHK does not have a quota of letters to issue. Apparently they will only know the numbers after the end of Phase 2A2 and from there derive a magic mystic number of letters to be sent out. They will only inform the successful ones just before Phase 2B registration - nerve wrecking.
Based on my limited understanding (cos I not staff, dunno how they think), tenure of membership is a very important criteria. Next come number of volunteer hours/work put in - the higher the better.
I just heard about friend whose request for application letter was rejected cos he stayed too far.
Out of it all, the only definite thing is that there is NO guarantee that all members can get the letter. Just as those who are accepted PVs....I heard that some couldn't fufil the number of hours cos the school didn't contact them enough. -
What school are you trying for? Have you check out the statistics for prior years? May be too late to think about moving now if u are going for registration this year.

I'm thinking of ACS(Junior) but most of the condos nearby are very pricey :PPP -

Will renting help, if it's too expensive to buy ? I have a friend who rented near ACS Barker, and got his son into the school

happychick, I supposed in life something has to give, somewhere.
A good balance would be to buy somewhere cheaper than you can afford. Rent it out, and that rental income to offset the slightly higher rental expense. Financing that gap for 2 years or so, may still be more workable.
If you look hard enough, you can get reasonable rental within the area. I’m talking about the older apartments/flats.
