Zoe Tay fails to get son enrolled in Nanyang Primary School

[Musings]

For those of you who are wondering about SHHK membership and the criteria for getting the recommendation letter, I know for a fact that apart from the publicly stated criteria of tenure of membership, what really matters is your ‘connections’ to the powers in SHHK.


There are people who have gotten recommendation letters with tenure membership of 2 years or less but have done zero hours of volunteer work because they know the powers in SHHK. Things have gotten harder in the last few years but definitely a few years ago, even people who sign up as SHHK member on the eve of P1 registration can get letter. So it is not surprising that Lai Yi Ling can get letter.

I am just highlighting this so that parents who are counting on getting SHHK letter should be aware that there is a lot of uncertainty going down this route unless you know the powers in SHHK.

Going down the PV route or community leader route is more certain. But one must be prepared to put in physical hours without a guarantee that you will succeed in the ballot and I believe all SHHK schools except NC had to ballot for within 1 km in P2B this year.

KSP:

She and her husband failed to get son enrolled in brand-name school, despite volunteering 80 hours. But now, it seems the six-year-old may be enrolling in his father's alma mater - Henry Park Primary School.

Phrase 2A in Henry park is good enough wat, why need to pv in Nanyang :scratchhead:

The way the whole issue is being presented seems to make HPPS a 2nd choice, a 'not as good school' as the 'top' NYPS. Hmmm .... Anyway, being in a better than average school is only the beginning of a long learning journey. How well a child does really depends on a lot of other factors. So, really, we as parents should not get carried away.
