All About Church/Clan/Society Membership

vicki:

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.

KS2:

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, are you staying within 1km of TNS? just saw the result, this year vacancies less than last year around 20. good luck to you!

Would like to clarify..
Do you mean only 20 SHHK members were recommended for TNS this year? Does SHHK publish the numbers?

No...barney8 meant that TNS had 83 places available for phase 2B last year, but only 62 for this year...a reduction of 20 places.

Hello KS2,


I m also in the same boat as u...been a member with SHHK for 2 years already...went thru the rituals and 3 times volunteer work...also no luck...

So i guess i have to try my luck now in Phase 2C.... u never try u never know right??

[jellybelly]

me three…


but teddythe, i must say you are more deserving than I am and wow are still so optimistic… I really hope you get your kid in…

i think balloting for phase 2c this year will be insane… i’m seriously reconsidering…

would you mind sharing your backup plan? i was thinking ngee ann until i read about bullying incidents… to be fair, heard about bullying in other schools as well… is this common in schools these days? my boy is rather small sized… i’m a little concerned he’ll be bullied…
