I checked the active leader thread and it seems all those that are GRL got their letters. How come they have no quota but clan has

govnt what.

Dear parents,


Is there any criteria for methodist to be qualify in any of the affliated schools? There have been talks about clan and association. Must you be in a particular church to be qualify to the affliated schools? Thank you.

I'm a Methodist too. I don't know if it differs between methodist churches, but for mine, a parent has got to be a church member (i.e. baptized, confirmed in that particular church). Every year the church will inform the congregation that members whose children are due for P1 registration can get a letter from the Pastor (can't remember what the letter says but it allows you to apply via phase 2b). Dunno if there are additional internal criteria. My pastor knows us well, and we've been serving there many years, so no problem getting a letter.

You should speak to your church pastor about it.

For religion, you need to check with the school. Some schools require you to produce the baptism cert of the child or parent to qualify under 2B. I do not think the choice of churches is important, only proof of the religion

For the Methodist schools, you don't need to produce baptism cert. You need the letter from the pastor of a Methodist church confirming that you, or your spouse is a member of the church (your child need not be baptized).

Thank you parents for replying to my query. I'll ask my church pastor.

Did any get the letter from SHHK for AT?

According to SHHK, they will send the letter directly to the school so to find out if we have gotten the letter, must call shhk.


Just tried calling again. Line is engaged. I have memorised the # already
