The below is typical GRO setup, but there is also GRM included. GRL is subjected to contribution and attendance scrutiny and eligible for office bearer positions whereby GRM can come and go as they wish. So if the CC give u GRM, check with them if this is temporary arrangement and can move up to EM or office bearer positions later. Or else you will not be eligible for 2B if you are GRM.

Grassroots leaders are volunteers who have contributed to community work and have being nominated to office positions. Every GRO contains a list of office positions as follows:

Chairman
Vice Chairman
Secretary
Assistant Secretary
Treasurer
Assistant Treasurer
Auditor
Assistant Auditor
Executive Members
Associate Members

I can't find info on GRM, if you can find, please share here.
The link points to a flow, which starts with Volunteer -> Observer -> EM -> Office bearers
I believe the GRM you mentioned is the 1st stage, Volunteer.
So if you start going to meetings, you are already at the Observer stage, which should take 6-12 months to become EM.[/quote]

My son will be registering for P1 in 2024. So I’m planning ahead for it.

Assuming that I can get into CCMC by 2021 in eg Holland Bukit Timah GRC, this means I can get the letter for phase 2B registration in the GRC I reside in right?

My place is in golden triangle in Newton, so within 1Km to ACS junior, ACS primary and SJIJ.
If I am reading the balloting history correctly, for ACS Junior, in phase 2B, there is balloting even for 1km SC. Although ACSJ is my preferred choice cos it’s within walking distance, Seems like my chance would be higher in SJIJ. But SJIJ is in another GRC, even though it is within 1km. So if I rent a place to be in the same GRC as SJIJ which is within 1Km to SJIJ, and assuming I get successful in SJIJ, can I shift back to my place, after securing a place, which is in TG PAGAR GRC and still within 1Km from SJIJ?

You can’t get into CCMC (If you can get into CCMC, you won’t be asking).

For your case, you should be on the look out for NC.

I suggest you go for ACSJ in 2B, not every year balloting is so bad for <1km. And if unsuccessful, go for SJIJ in 2C, most years don’t need to ballot for <1km, even if need to ballot, chances are very high.

Thank you! This is helpful. This is definitely one strategy I will consider. I was just wondering if I want a less stressful registration, should I go for SJIJ in phase 2B.
I suppose I can also analyse the next few years. I will have to see how new condos in the area can affect my chances for both ACSJ and SJIJ.

I’m sure you will regret for not trying for your 1st choice since it’s within reach.

Your insights are really very much appreciated!

Hi,


If my child is due for P1 registration 2021. Does it mean that I already late for GRC route to qualify for phase2B? Are there any clan or Organization that is still possible for me to join? Lastly, may I ask if I ballot under 2C, however I did not get the school. What will be the next outcome? Can I choose other schools and will I know by then which schools still have vacancies?

Yes you are late for 2B, be it GRL, PV or Church/Clan. If 2C fail, next will be 2CS.

We are under bukit timah GRC and based on my understanding, ACSJ and SJIJ are not under Bukit-Timah GRC. You may also check which GRC your house belongs to and choose the school in the same GRC if you were to go by GRL/NC path. Based on my experience, i frankly told them upfront my objectives and asked them to guide me which path/route should I go. They are nice enough to understand and guide along even assist to convert the observing phase to member quickly even during covid time. Good luck!
