All About Church/Clan/Society Membership

3Boys:

Hi 3Boys, I don't think it is totally arbitrary. Refer to my earliest post, I think the process take into consideration the total no of vacancies left for phase 2B in any school, and the total no of members applying for it. If the no is too much over the vacancies, the SHHK has no choice but to apply a more stringent selection process. In other schools where the no of applicants/vacancies ratio is not so high, they can be more lenient.

I guess the parents of children entering P1, who are members of SHHK, there is a certian level of uncertainty isn't it? I.e. 2 years out from reg, you are an active member and are targeting a popular school. You have no view as to how many other SHHK members are planning the same thing, nor how many PVs there are in that school. Your letter of recommendation hangs in the balance and you have no visibility. For a PV, it the school rejects you early in the year, you know you are out and can plan your options accordingly.

Its a tough job for SHHK, and some established and clear guidelines will make it easier for themselves and everyone else involved.[/quote]

Hi 3Boys, yes you are right. Uncertainty especially if the school being applied is a highly popular one like TNS and AiTong, which are always having overwhelming applications. At least for PV, the school set the number right from the beginning. I guess these 2 avenues are for very different parents. Like those who can afford the PV hours or are not hokkien, go for PV, those who can't have the hours, and are hokkien, go for SHHK.

In summary, joining SHHK does not gurantee to get any letter even have tenure membership like 2 years?


Wow like that better perform PV with the school better.

The best is to ask around among people you already know as these are the people who will be more likely (and willing) to sponsor you. Do you know any Hokkiens who are SHHK members? Or anybody whose spouses are members?

[Anxa]

That is the thing. I don know anyone who are currently the SHHK. Which is why its bothering me.


Haiz. Wondering anyone can help?

Hi maybe you can start by asking around your friends, colleagues, relatives who are Hokkien. Ask whether they are a member of SHHK. If they are, they can sign on your application for membership form as \"references\". It's a very simply thing for them to do so I don't think anyone will reject your request. You need just 2 members to be your references.

Yes you can, just get a letter from your church (Anglican) which you attend, and you will be eligible for Phase 2B. Good luck
