Help… anyone can recommend creative writing classes from any enrichement centre that can help my P4… Her creative writing is very bad…Thanks.

Hi… i would like to know how long is a good gauge to see whether the enrichment programme is helping the child. 6 months using the SA or 1 year?

Hi,

I would like to know which Chinese tution centre is good for Primary School level? I know berries is good for pre-school but how about primary school.

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

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.

But my personal experience tells me its true too. Last year there is no balloting for 2B. So as a member for 2 years doing voluntary work but stay within 1-2km and doesn't get the letter, if distance is not taken into consideration, then it's rather strange. BTW, if distance is not taken into consideration, the admin staff from SHHK would not have called me 2 days before letters are issued to confirm where I'm staying. Not strange???

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...

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.

FYI, my friend staying 2KM away tried in 2010 registration for AT and on the day for registration, the staff tell him no chance at all.

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..

Just wanted to share that my friend managed to get SHHK recommendation letter for registration @Kong Hwa phase 2B last year although she did not volunteer for any activities and is with SHHK for less than 1 year(by the time they issued the recommendation letter). She stayed within 1km from Kong Hwa. She is very lucky to receive SHHK recommendation letter and successful in balloting into Kong Hwa @phase 2B <1km.

For 福清 dialet group, I understand member of Futsing Association will be given priority when they apply for Poi Ching School 报读培青学校 - 会员子女报读培青学校时将获得优先考虑。但是申请者必须符合教育部规定的入学标准。

Their membership is quite low but guess not many Singaporean will benefit from it as there ain't many 福清 around.

FYI, i didn't manage to get the letter for Nan Chiau last year although i've 2 years of membership and did voluntary work. As a matter of fact, i was quite piss off because the no. of applicant is the same as place available in that phase. So, it depends on the committee managing the school whether they want to give you the letter or not.
