All About Church/Clan/Society Membership

[ChiefKiasu]

lchunleo:

actually i meant that the clan route does not guarantee you a recommendation letter even after all the membership payment, services renders and meeting all the requirements. Hence just out of thought, would it meant a safety net if can do both the PV and clan's PV? haha...i dun think i got all the time so got to weigh carefully..

It is true that being in the Clan doesn't guarantee you a certificate of recommendation for your child to participate in Phase 2B of the associated school's P1 registration.

It is also true that being selected for PV doesn't guarantee that the school will give you enough jobs to make up for the required qualifying hours.

So there are inherent risks in either approach. If you have time to do both, you will qualify as the quintessential KiasuParent :salute:

lchunleo,


normally one parent won’t have time to do both (PV in school + GRL) concurrently. But if 2 parents, may be possible. Perhaps you can apply for PV in school, while your spouse try the GRL route. You may apply both ways - see which way accept or admit you in first, then decide from there. Take one step at a time.

But, just because you do both doesn't guarantee you will ultimately qualify under P2B, right?

Hi,

Where do I find the list of society , whose membership could get me a early registration for my son? I cannot qualify for any clan or church membership.

Thanks

u meant a list of secret society..haha..

perharps you should ask the prospective school to see if they are affliated to the any clan/church. A quick check via their school website should give some hints

Moving to a location within 1 km of the school doesn't give you any priority. It only gives you a chance to at least participate in the balloting should it be required.

Based on historical statistics, P2B for those staying within 1 km were safe. However, it depends on the year's registration.

Registering my girl to CHIJ under Phase 2B, do we need a letter from the church or just show parent and girl’s baptism certs?

if i not wrong, you will need a letter from the church to recommend the registration at phase2b and the pre-requisite is that you will need to show both the parent and girls cert to the church..if i am wrong, pls correct.
