All About Church/Clan/Society Membership

[tankee]

I believe SHHK has certain rules, eg number of years as members; contribution etc, to sort the applicants, then by cut off the list based on the numbers agreed with the school.

Just called SHHK, I'm not recommended for Phase 2B as too many applicants for TNS and my membership is less than 1 year.


In fact, I did joined earlier, but it was after their 1st meeting. Their 2nd meeting is usually around Aug. So parents who are thinking of going to Phase 2B, pls consider to join SHHK at least 2years in advance.

Now have to prepare for the next battle, Phase 2C balloting :stupid:

Hi KS2


Did you do any volunteer work during the period? I’m also waiting for their answer. Also applying for TNS and joined less than 2 years too.

Actually i heard from frens that generally you have to join for at least 3 years before they will \"recommend\" you.

Plus, if the spaces get too hot, they will look at your \"participation\" records!

I heard that it is depends on the school you chose and how hot is the competition among members that year. They gave according to years of membership & contribution.

ks2 don’t be too disheartened, there’s always hope in 2C.


But to those who aspire to go SHHK route. I understand in prior years, those applying to Aitong must at least be member for 4 years and more!!! Seeing the TUR for Aitong, I think this year also bad.

My understanding is that SHHK will consider: the vacancies in the schools, the number of applicants they have, the number of years one has been member, the contribution to SHHK (eg voluntary work in their festivals/family day etc), recommendation by council member. All this will be given mystic points and a cutoff generated somewhere.

No offence, but it’ll be quite unfair to long time members who contributed a lot (Not me lah) to join in the fray with new members who didn’t lift a finger. At least there is a cutoff somewhere.
