All About Church/Clan/Society Membership

[torayme]

Hi Parents,


I am looking at joining SHHK out of my own interest/culture and not because of primary school enrolment. I am a pure hokkien and I will like to send my daughter (only 3 this year) just for the enrichment classes. We are staying nowhere near any of the SHHK schools.

Can you please help to endorse my membership application?

Thanks in advance.

Every year when p1 registration is due in July -

for each school that comes under control of Hokkien Huay Kwan, do they cap the max. no. of letters issued for phase 2B applicants?
How does it work? Once reach max target, does it mean they won’t issue any more letter(s) even if further more applicants turn up to request ?

My limited (and not so up to date) info is that after end of Phase 2A2, the clan will know how many vacancies for the schools under them. From there, they will determine x number of letters that can be issued.


SHHK members have to submit their application forms (on the form, they have to indicate the school they are eyeing) way in advance to SHHK office. I keep thinking April, but this may change. Best is to ask SHHK directly. There should be a deadline and applications will not be accepted. So don’t hold off until Phase 2A.

So once they know how many letters they can issue, there is some form of benchmark set. Based on past understanding, tenure of membership, number of PV hours clocked etc play a part. But this will not be made public and will change from year to year.

Dear all,

I have desperately searched for 2 members of the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan to endorse on my application form to join as a member but can’t seem to find anyone. Would really appreciate if anyone is willing to help me. I am unable to apply for PV as I have to take care of my younger daughter & my husband works long hours everyday. My eldest daughter would be primary one in yr 2015.

Kindly pm me if anyone is willing to help me. Thank you!

If you don't have time to be PV, then sorry to tell you the clan route may not be for you either, because SHHK had started a similar volunteer scheme for those who wish to qualify for phase 2B.

Hi Tankee,


I read from somewhere at kiasuparents that it makes a difference if it’s the Daddy or the Mummy who is the member of SHHK. Is this true?

Hi Parents,


I am also looking into becoming a member and require two signatures.

Any SHHK members willing to sign my form, I will be grateful.

Hi, I am hoping to get into phase 2B for Catholic High. Is being Catholic not good enough to qualify for this phase? Do I have to be some kind of committee in order to qualify for phase 2B? I am worry and if there is anything I can do now. My son is born in 2008 which mean registration next year for 2015 intake. Please advise.
