Possible but MOE won’t take into consideration the distance between school and workplace. if you have norelationship withthe school (eg not ex-student, not a PVetc) then you will fall under phase 2C.

Hi all... I am trying to gather data here to provide help for parents who are thinking of qualifying for Phase 2B under the affiliated clan/church scheme.


Can parents help state what they know by saying the clan/church and its associated school?

I'll start:

Hokkien Huay Kuan -> Tao Nan, Ai Tong, Kong Hwa, Chong Fu, Nan Chiau

My younger brother was from kong hwa and boy the school is so much better than mine...they dont ask for donations like my school every other month....so next time i wish to put my future kid here....haha guess what im in the midst of getting unit at lor 32 (just 100m) away from kong hwa
its by far a coincidence....

Any idea if Tao Nan does ask for donation frequently?

Dear Piggymum,

No worries, its different from the past. This school have a very strong backup.

Maybe only like flag days for those upper primary classes for government aided organisation.

Relax, no need donation. Nice school.

btw san76, your kid in Tao Nan? I am keeping my finger crossed that my girl can get intoTao Nan not juz cos of its academic performance but i noted it has student care within the school. That will be a great help!

Dear Piggymum,

If you can get into this school, very good. If you cant, dont feel sad. In the east, there is Katong CHIJ right? That is also one of the \"hot\" school.

Can I ask how you want to get into the school?

Very true, these schools under the SHHK, the have the financial backup and the kids in the school will be able to enjoy the facilities and new gadgets. Very good exposure for kids. 1 thing I will have to let you know, most of the P1 are well prepared and they can cope quite well when they are in school. Which means, they are trained now in the Prep Class for P1.

As for the Chinese, they will be learning higher chinese. Not very tough but do expect the school will teach more than the text or syllabus.

I wish you all the best.

Thanks so much for these info san76 :celebrate:


Just to clarify, you mentioned prep class for P1. Did you mean prep class conducted by Tao Nan or these students attend some enrichment class outside to prepare for pr 1?

I juz got my SHHK membership recently and this is my only avenue to go under phase 2B as I work full time, no energy and time to do PV work! Think i will need to tape my mouth to prevent heart from jumping out the few days before knowing if can get recoomendation letter!

If can't get the letter, may try Ngee Ann Pri.

Dearest Piggymum,

Sorry forget to elaborate Prep class for P1. It is outside enrichment. Please send your gal to one of the prep class. Need not to be those well known or expensive prep class. Just to prepare her and let her have the feel of what will happen in P1. Eg, Spelling; Grammer; Vocab; rearrange sentences etc. Maths will be 1 to 10, etc.

Hope I didnt frighten you with these prep class. They will only touch on the basic so to let the child know what will happen in P1 and very different from K2. Most child that enrol in the good sch especially, they are well prepared.

Hmm, if you have the SHHK membership, then no issue. You sure get in.
Dont give yourself so much pressure to get into the school. Can you try do something in SHHK when you have some free time? Perhaps it will helps. Tell you 1 thing, they dont really need donation, they want your time. As I mentioned earlier on, they have strong backup. Take your AL from work then help out. This will enhance in getting the letter.

CHEERS!!!!! :celebrate:
