J1J2boys:

:imcool: :imcool: Hi, I am staying within 1 km to Nan Chiau Primary, with the new priority ruling for S'pore citizens, I am not sure if I should try to go for this ever popular school or just keep it simple and go to my hubby old boys schools, any comments or advices ?

usual practice is to apply to old school under 2A1/2. Then monitor and decide on the last day of registration for Phase 2C. if you are under 2B, I think chances will be very high. else, I think still the same (aka nail biting). Come to the end, it's whether you want to take the risk

:idea: Maybe kids who wish to register at these school must know how to speak Hokkien as a pre-entry requirement...the kids must be able to read a passage in Hokkien, or sing a Hokkien song during the interview...then very soon, many kids in Singapore are proficient in Hokkien...

Actually i dun mind these schools offer Hokkien classes. My kids know nuts about Hokkien since their own grandparents dun speak Hokkien to them.

Hi,


To those who have successfully applied to the school via Phase 2B using the SHHK membership, does the # of years count? I have joined SHHK coming to 3 years but i am not a very active member as in i only attend 3-4 events per year. Does that give me lesser chance? appreciate your reply. Thanks

Newbie here. Didn't see a reply to this qn. Can someone advise pls? Also, I just joined the clan earlier this year, what do you reckon my chances at kong hwa for next year's registration pls? Any idea? And if there's chance, what more should I do as a member to increase my chances of the recommendation letter? Appreciate your feedback.

We sucessfully got in to SHHK school 3 years ago through phase 2b. We didnt join any of the SHHK events before and still got recommended. I dont think it matters whether you are an active member.

Noted with thanks!
