BigDevil:

@luzman: your profile shows you have a 2008 child?

So your year of registration is 2014?

Even if you join SHHK now, you will be a member for less than 2 years by the time you are registering your child for P1. Don't think you will be able to get yourself a recommendation for phase 2B.

I would agree to the above comments if you are looking at AT, NC, or TN. You might still have chance for CF or KW. Please read the earlier pages to find out more on this issues.

Anyone knows which are the schools that have the history of balloting for phrase 2B? I am staying 1-2km from a SHHK school wondering how is my chance...

Which school?

My fren told me his niece got the recommendation letter for 2B this year for Nan Chiau. Her niece never do volunteer work and was a member of the huay kuan for 1.5 years only. She practically does nothing at all and yet for this 2B she got the letter.

It was similiar last year. I do know of cases of parents who had joined for ~1.5 years and get letters without having to be active. At the end of the day, it really depends on demand and supply, parents need to go in with eyes wide open.

Good luck!

FYI, i did voluntary work and join for 2 years but last year they didn't give me the letter. Because I'm staying 1.5m away and they don't want to do balloting for 1-2m. Their enrolment for within 1m is just enough to fill the place available. It's really heng suay...

If you refer to question 8 of the attached document where it clarifies that

Quoted
No. Distance from the school is only considered during the balloting process and not during SHHK recommendation process.

I used to have reservation on this too. Based on my personal experience, I am now convinced that Distance is indeed not being taken into consideration at SHHK recommendation stage.
