Thanks. Actually we called up Tao Nan school and we were advised to join the hokkien huay kuan. But one of the conditions is we need 2 sponsors. We do not know anyone here as I am a new citizen (my hubby is a PR). The reason we choose Tao Nan is my hubby who is an american wants our boys to learn good chinese and learn chinese culture

if you are registering next year for P1 in 2013, you are too late for huay kuan route.

we need to registerfor P1 in year 2014 do you think we can able to make it?

I was told at least 2 yrs and depending on how popular the school is. Unfortunately Tao Nan is one of the hot pick for SHHK members and the longer you are with SHHK, the better chance you get the recommendation letter.

Maybe you are still early for PV route?

I am also considering the PV but the PV of most schools that I called up has not opened for registration. I am willing to do anything to secure a place for my boy.

if current practise continue, PV application for Tao Nan starts on 1Jan2012 for registration in 2013. But be prepared to ballot for a PV slot if shortlisted.

you are probably too late for SHHK.

xuen,
Why limit yourself to Tao Nan? There are other schools with this chinese environment that you would like to immerse your DS in and are easier to get in than TN.

Hi:

I would like to join the hokkien huay kuan so that we can be at phase 2b to register my child to one of the schools. However i need 2 sponsors to join the huay kuan. Can any one who is the member be my sponsor? Thank you.

Just curious, you are New citizen and hubby is American. Can SHHK accept?

Hi I would like to join SHHK for my boy who born in yr08 but I need 2 existing members to support. Any kind soul who can help me please? Please pm me. I know the chances of getting the recommendation letter may be low but I would like to give it a try as I hv no chance under phase2C getting in NCP. I’m staying 1-2km fr NCP. Thank you.

I am not sure whether it is acceptable. My husband who is american called the school and was advised that I to join the huay kuan.

Thot that the SHHK is only for Hokkien, no?

Scary is right, there are other good schools that cultivate chinese culture.
