      one nagging questions :


      do they teach the kids to speak hokkien in those schools ?

      is a pity if they don't
      :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...
      :evil: :siam:

              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.

                    hi, need advise on my case.


                    i have 2 sons, born in year 2007 and 2009.

                    in year 2014, my older son (born in year of 2007) will be attending primary 1.

                    we are thinking of registration him into AI TONG Pri.

                    Right now, we have the member application form which is already signed off by 2 members.

                    Just by being a member, can we apply him on a earlier phase?

                    we are staying more than 2km away from sch.

                    please advise.

                      Your chance of securing a place at Ai tong for P2B & P2C Phases would be very very slim if living more than 2km away from Ai Tong.

                      Hope this help!

                        Ha..ha.. Then a lot of kids will not be able to qualify. Most of the kids today can't speak any dialect at all. :rotflmao:
