Thanks, Cherrygal!
So glad to hear that more than 2pm from SJIjr still got chance. Hope it remains so when it's my turn to register.
Looks like St nic is out of the question d. Am not brave enough. Haha.
How about the chances for CHIJ (toapayoh)?

Actually, whether got chance or not, it's hard to say.

So far, for SJIJ, ballot is for >2km. Unless you want to go through balloting, it's best to stay within 2km of SJIJ.

As for CHIJ TP, I'm not too optimistic. I stay within 1-2km of CHIJ and can register my dd under phase 2B. But I am monitoring it very closely now. Reasons being there may be balloting for within 1-2km when it's time register for my dd.

Last year, 16 applicants from >2km balloted for 1 remaining spot in phase 2B. Just need 2 more applicants from within 2km and 1-2km would be balloted instead. Also, Trevista and the TPY Peak are all within 1 km of CHIJ, so many new families will be moving in soon. It is likely that they may register their girls there since the next nearest popular school, Pei Chun, will be 1-2km from them.

Therefore, while I may like to register my dd in CHIJ, I will have to find a satisfactory backup because if in the event there is balloting within 2km the next few years, I would not want to participate in it.

If I were you, I choose the old primary sch that i used to attend even I am staying 10-20 km away.

This provided that old primary school becomes a popular school after 20 years.

Believe me, you are not starting early. In fact, you may already be too late!


It is believed that when SHHK issues recommendation letter, one factor they will look at is seniority. If you only join SHHK now, you are only a member of 1.5 years (registration in 2014). I doubt that will be enough....

Good luck! :xedfingers:

Hi!


Read thru the messages from the past few months and would like to confrm that if we do get the recommendation letter from SHHK for phase 2B, we are still subjected to balloting if dd is more than ss right? And if thats the case, those staying within 1km will be considered first? Im thking of AT but am staying more than 2km away =(

I think your distance from school is part of SHHK's consideration too. Coz if there is a history of yearly ballot within 1km, the clan will rather recommend next qualifying member who has realistic chance.. my 2 cents.

AT : Phase 2B : more than 2km = no chance. :sad:

Hi all,


My girl is born in 2008 and I am going to submit the applications with a cheque to be SHHK member. However, after running through the forum. I am quite hesistant to do so, seems like I have no chance at all due to the short period of time as a SHHK member. I am looking at Kong Hwa or Nan Chiau

Please advise…
