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.

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?

I'm not sure what you mean by specific church?

Hi ! Am very nervous ! My girl needs to register for P1 tis year. Just in the process of finding 2 SHHK members. Anyone any idea of SHHK next meeting for member approval ? Very scare can’t made it in time for registration for recommendatn to NCPS ? And also the tenure of membership plays a part ? Chances very slim…?

SHHK accept membership applications all year round, but they will collate all applications and approval of membership application is decided during Council Members’ meetings, held every quarter of the year. There is probably one coming up in March. If you are successful, you’ll receive the notification in April, which is barely 3 months to the date of registration (phase 2B registration should be around July).


NCPS is a very popular school in Seng Kang, thus, the SHHK would be quite selective in handing out the recommendation letter, esp. when your membership tenure is so short. Most of the time, the Clan will stress that minimum membership tenure is 2 years.

Phase 2B definition, for the church part is \"..... for a child whose parent is a member endorsed by the church/clan directly connected with the school... \", besides the PV and grassroots part. Maybe u can call up the school to ask?

i'm not within 1km leh, i stay in yishun, the nearest caholic sch is catholic high, but that is way too difficult to get in. phase 2b alone has balloting for 2b <1km.:(


the next nearer is MS.
