All About Church/Clan/Society Membership

will it double the chance if to get endorsement letter and do PV as well.

if not double, at least higher chances? :idea:

No. Phase 2B is for clan/church/grassroots members and pv. You only have one shot at registering.
Priority will go according to the distance you live away from the school (in categories of <1km, 1-2km and exceeding 2km).

Well... if you mean double your chance of getting priority registration in Phase 2B, of course doing both PV and being clan member endorsement will help. But jedamum is right, it is still only about getting the privilege to participate in Phase 2B, and do nothing to improve your chance of succeeding in Phase 2B.

hi Chief, how would being a PV as well as joining a clan help in getting priority in Phase 2B ?


I thought either one will enable you to be qualified for phase 2B, of course subject to distance as well

Being a clan member doesn't necessarily qualify you for Phase 2B, especially if there is a balloting situation at Phase 2B. Being a PV doesn't necessarily qualify you either, if you did not manage to complete your commitment before the registration exercise.

No, phase 2B is for parent volunteers, members of church/clans directly connected with the school, or parents who are active community leader. Unless you qualify under the 'church' category.

Eh? if you plan to register ur child into a catholic primary school since you are a catholic, then yes, it will be under phase 2B.

I thought it only apply if you belong to the specific church connected to the specific school u want to enrol in?

Hi, just joined as newbie. Was reading the forum on joining the clan SHHK. If my husband's father is cantonese but mother is hokkien, and my parents are not hokkien, can my husband join as a member so that my child can get chance to ballot under 2B? I called the SHHK but got mixed answers. A man said no, but another time I called, a lady said either parents need to be hokkien.
