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)

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.

I know, but I do commiserate with zac's mum over her points. Why should GRLs and religions be given any priority in the registration process? While GRLs may have contributed to society, those contributions may not directly go to the school. And you get affiliation simply based on religions? Without doing anything for the school?

If you ask me, I think Phase 2B is ripe for restructuring. The parents who did PV should be given priority as they had clearly sacrificed dozens of hours of their time for the school. That would not only make them know the school better, but also make them value the school more because they have spent all that effort. And I feel that this should be the only group that qualifies for Phase 2B.

If it’s me ah,
I will let 2b stay.
(Clan, grl, pv - just fight it out
But only 20 seats max)

It’s the 150+ seats from 2a1 that’s needs to be more shared. (The recent combination of 2a1 and 2a2 is a good move forward)


Good night and let’s stick to the topic of Shhk related la.
