Hi, just to share with you what i've experienced. I have join SHHK for 2 years and did voluntary work @ SHHK (which many ppl said that helps to get the recommendation letter). Unfortunately, i didn't not get my recommendation letter for NCPS. I'm staying within 1-2km of NCPS. But there are members i know from SHHK who told me they have friends who also join 2 years only and didn't do any voluntary work, got the letter for 2010 registration. The only thing i observe is that the Chairman for SHHK change last year. I suspect internally, they've done some changes and now they are very strict about issuing the letter. I would suggest to go via the PV channel which is more gurantee.

hi lih_rabbit,
im sorry to hear that, then which sch did u enrol eventually? im in a mess now, will be moving in 2013 when the hse is ready. then the sch thingy also driving me nuts... :scared: my friend also got hers leh... 1.5yrs of membership without volunteer work done. PV i guess u need to ballot too leh... as with Rosyth, less than PV will be taken for next yr but a total of 211 applied! :yikes:

My Plan A which is NCPS is out since i didn't get the recommendation letter for Phase 2B. At lease PV still has chance to get into the balloting stage. Without SHHK recommendation letter, no chance to get into Phase 2B at all. I was within 1km of CHIJ OLN, so i put that as Plan B, for Phase 2C. This year is very competitive. Even CHIJ OLN also need to ballot for 1-2km. From Kiasu history, usually, this school only ballot for 2km and above. So, you got to have a few plan in place and look at the chances. I heard this year there is 500 lesser vacancy due to some school changing to single session. On top of that, we have FT coming in and the birth rate is higher compare to the previous year. Yes, birth rate also play a part. If more baby for that year, lesser vacancy mean more competition.

Hi larkspur,

thanks for you advice.
yeah, i hv a few backups already. actually i was rather pissed off by dh, he's a catholic but din wan to get the church endorsement for P2B @catholic schs.
rather stressed out by the balloting that will be carried out this friday. i will decide everything after this friday's balloting.

Hmm... I don't believe you need a letter from the church for Catholic schools. Most of them require just the baptism certificate, either of the child or one of the parents. But best to check as it might differ from school to school.

Hi all, according to my fren who is a catholic... My hb was an d boy of the catholic schs therefore my boy shld be eligible for P2A.
Is tat true? If it is... I'm gonna faint.

AFAIK the 2A priority only applies when either parent was from that specific pr school.


If u r from Catholic High Pr, u will not get 2A priority if u choose to apply to St Joseph Jr.

If u were from Catholic JC, u don’t get 2A priority for application to affliated Catholic pr schools.

Was told that someone who was from ACJC and spent $$$ to join the ACS OBA only to find that it does not help them in getting their boy into either ACS.

Not necessary...can still go for 2B (if it applies) and/or pray for divine intervention!!
