All About Church/Clan/Society Membership

May I know Maris Stella is affliated with which church? I'm a catholic, but I dun belong to any church. In fact, I think catholic can go to any church? :?A friend told me can ask the church that I frequent writes a letter to the school. can that be done?

Phase 2B definition, for the church part is \"..... for a child whose parent is a member endorsed by the church/clan directly connected with the school... \", besides the PV and grassroots part. Maybe u can call up the school to ask?

i'm not within 1km leh, i stay in yishun, the nearest caholic sch is catholic high, but that is way too difficult to get in. phase 2b alone has balloting for 2b <1km.:(


the next nearer is MS.

Yeah u are right. MS did not conducting balloting under 2B for the past 3 yrs. Definitely better chance there.

Sometimes, I wonder why is it so difficult for catholic to get into catholic school.

Hi


I’m new here and based on the forum thread, seems like I need to act super-early for Nan Chiau Primary.

Does anyone know if the membership charges for SHHK is recurring every yearly, or is it a one time charge of $500+

Any existing SHHK member who can help to recommend for me to be a member?

Thanks in advance.

The one-time sign up fee is $500, annual membership is $24.00.

Are you staying within 1km of NCPS? If you or your spouse has the time, better to sign up as PV with the school. If you're accepted as a PV, as long as you clock in the min. 40 hours, you'll get the chance to register under phase 2B, whereas being clan members does not automatically \"qualify\" you to register in phase 2B.

Yes, I agree with Tulip. Joining the Huay Kuan now is not a guarantee anymore. Somemore, you will also need to be a volunteer in Huay Kuan activities to increase your chance.


At the end of the day, you may walk home disappointed by not getting the recommendation.

Being a PV is a sure to get a chance to ballot if you stay within 1km and you complete the mandatory no. of hours required.

Thanks for the infor, Tulip.


We actually stay next to NCPS.

I heard from my colleague that the 2B is actually "split" into 2B1 and 2B2. 2B1 is for GR & Clan associates, while 2B2 only comes after 2B1 for PV. Is this true?

[Lucky]

As far as I know, 2B is one big pot, (for clans, PV and grassroots). They ballot all together if they qualify.

[Tulip]

That’s right. Only Phase 2A has 2A1 and 2A2. Under Phase 2B they prioritize by distance (if balloting is required), no preference to GR & Clan members.
