      Oh. In that case, you will have to get phase 2B affiliation by joining SHHK. But be careful here:

      1. Even as a SHHK member, you are still limited by the number of places you can get for Nan Chiau. They may already have too many members trying for Nan Chiau.

      2. The competition for Nan Chiau in Phase 2B has been steadily increasing from no balloting in 2017, to balloting for those who stay within 1km in 2021! As you stay >1km, I fear you might not even be able to ballot even though you paid for the SHHK membership.
      chief, one more point.

      One needs to clock a minimum number of hours of volunteer work for SHHK schools, then have chance to get the 2B recommendation letter.

        Oh really? I thought there's no need for PV if you are SHHK member? Well, things have certainly changed around here if that is the case.

          should be still like that la. (according to my research a few years ago)

          Refer to
          https://www.shhk.com.sg/faqs/

          Under section \"Phase 2B\"
          Go to Question 1

            One of my friends is an alumnus of a popular school in the West. She needs to perform PV work even to qualify for P2A! :shock:

              In this case, there is no advantage of paying to get into SHHK at all! One can just be a PV for free. Must be a member for 2 years some more.

                  that's the catch

                  The 5 SHHK schools do NOT take PV independently
                  Their PV system is centralized

                  I.e
                  If ATS needs manpower for morning traffic control, they request from SHHK.
                  SHHK will get from their existing PV pool to supply to ATS.

                  As to how to be chosen to go to ATS...... we will leave it for another time la.

                    That will defeat the purpose of PV completely. PV is for the parent to know the school better. If SHHK maintains a pool of PVs that it routes to different schools depending on the schools' needs, parents may not be assigned to their school of choice. MOE/SHHK should stop this practice.

                      Well, one can say that GRLs do not get to know the schools directly either, since they serve the residents not the school. Why are they under 2B then…also the religion-based 2B…

                        Don’t discuss ethics and principles la.


                        As parents, we only play according to rules.
