Hi, I live just within 2km of NCPS. What you parents opinion of me joining SHHK or PV? Or should I just go for 2C?

Depends on when you need to register. If time is on your side, start hunting for 'sponsors' (existing clan members to sign on your application form) - I figure you need to be member at least 2 years (the more the better).

Even then, you better pray hard becos 1-2km of most of the clan school need to ballot. Within 1km is best.

For NCPS, there is no chance for u at all in phase 2c. However even if u shld be able to register in phase 2b, there is a high risk for balloting for more than 1 km.

As for which to volunteer, it really depends on your time avaible to volunteer.

I see.. so to do volunteer in HKHK.
How to apply?

You can call up SHHK and indicate your interest. I think at the joining form they do ask if you are keen. Once you're in, whenever there is activity, they will send out emails asking for participants.

You just have to be very careful and smart about your SHHK volunteer work. There have been too many instances whereby a certain member volunteers for several events and has joined for 2-3 years and still did not receive a recommendation letter.

The reason why some get recommended, or not, simply due to the popularity of the school they are interested in. The clan has constraints to recommend everyone.

For example Tao Nan and Ai Tong are the favourite among members, thus a cut off is set in order to get recommended due to overwhelming demand.

i believe that SHHK would very much like to issue letters to every member that requested for it but is constrainted by the schools who have limited vacancies & have to cater to PV & Grassroots Leaders too.

so stress by just looking at the no. of registration for Phrase 2C really. Guess i have got to join the SHHK now for my DS P1 registration 2 yrs later … & i am staying within 1 km from NCPS.


But becoming a memeber without much contribution will not be considered also right. wondering what kind of contribution needed to be eligible for the recommendation letter.

i don't know much about SHHK but i recently overheard one mummy boasting that she joined the SHHK since her girl was 1 year old. And all these years, she did nothing but just pay the annual fees. And she got the recommendation letter to ATS. Does $ make the world go round? :?
