SHHK will be implementing the following policies with effect 1 Jan 2022, to better recognise the strong commitment of school-based volunteers for their long term and daily commitment and to improve traffic situation at the schools:
Schools’ primary one vacancies that become available will be allocated to students on the Waiting Lists in the following order of priority:
a) Parent who is an SHHK volunteer and who has served 2 complete terms of service at any SHHK primary school
b) Parent who is an SHHK volunteer and who has served 1 complete term of service at any SHHK primary school
c) All other parent volunteers
The following table summarises the priority tier:
| Baseline criteria for waitlist consideration: | • 2 consecutive years of SHHK membership by 30 June in the year of P1 registration • At least 80 hours of volunteer work with SHHK • Had applied under phase 2B and phase 2C • Currently on the School’s waitlist |
|---|
| Priority | School-based volunteer duration | Distance of home from school |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Completed 2 terms (21 weeks) | <1km |
| 2 | Completed 2 terms (21 weeks) | 1-2km |
| 3 | Completed 2 terms (21 weeks) | >2km |
| 4 | Completed 1 term (11 weeks) | <1km |
| 5 | Completed 1 term (11 weeks) | 1-2km |
| 6 | Completed 1 term (11 weeks) | >2km |
| 7 | Did not complete term(s) or did not serve in school | <1km |
| 8 | Did not complete term(s) or did not serve in school | 1-2km |
| 9 | Did not complete term(s) or did not serve in school | >2km |
This new waitlist policy applies only to members whose child/children are born in 2018 or after. Should there be more than one qualified member who fulfilled above criteria, waitlist vacancy allocation will be done through balloting.
There is no change to the qualifying criteria for Phase 2B, which includes a 2-year SHHK membership by 30 June in the year of P1 registration and at least 80 hours of volunteer work.
