hi everyone, i would like to check:


1.) if i joined RC and volunteer my time, 2 years, and be a executive member, would i be qualified for phase 2b for Nan Chiau primary school?

My concern for the above is Nan Chiau has removed parent volunteer scheme and since sengkang is a opposition ward, do we still qualify for phase 2b?

Appreciate any help here. Thanks.

Yes you will still qualify 2B as GRL, give ample time for Observer to EM, maybe 3 years in advance. Make sure your residence is <1km as 2B need to ballot.

As per Davischew, you will need more than 2 years, plan for at least 3 years and you will have to be within 1km of the school. As GRL is a scheme administered by People's Association, it doesn't matter whether it's a WP or PAP ward. It's also separate from the PV scheme. While NCPS has removed the school's administered PV scheme, the volunteer scheme under the SHHK clan is still around.

Go to nearest CC to enquire on volunteering and joining as GRL. But you must at least be <1km to qualify for ballot either 2B or 2C.

Hi Gurus,


I'm new to this forum and would like to know:
1) How to find out the primary schools that are within my GRC? I'm under East Coast GRC.
2) Am I in time to apply if I'm registering my child in the 2025 exercise? My child born in 2019.
3) What would I need to know or do once I get selected to join the GRC? What kinds of activities?

Thanks in Advance! 😀

can check from this link => https://www.parliament.gov.sg/mps/find-mps-in-my-constituency type in the school postal code and you will see which GRC the school is in
2) Am I in time to apply if I'm registering my child in the 2025 exercise? My child born in 2019.
it depends on how fast you will get converted to member. When you first apply, you will be appointed as observer. From observer to member will take sometime which is unknown depending on factors such as your zone quota, citizenship status (SC/PR) etc., Once you get promoted to member, you need to serve at least 2 years before P1 registration year (not actual P1 year) to be qualified for 2B phase. Your effective date of being appointed as member is crucial as it is used to count the qualified period. Start as early as possible.
3) What would I need to know or do once I get selected to join the GRC? What kinds of activities?
Once you get in as observer, the PA staff/members will be able to guide you or ask you what to do. Each GRC may be slightly different depending on the activities of each GRC. My zone activities are such as attend monthly meeting, help out in MP house visit, help out in national day activities, etc.,

Thanks in Advance! 😀

Hi regarding GRL, should we declare and be honest with our intention, ie joining GRL for phase 2b or we shouldnt?

Also, what are the chances to become GRL? is it very tough like top 5% of volunteers?

Thanks.

Thanks.[/quote]1. I think most people are cognizant that new GRL wannabes, especially those with young families, are usually there for the 2B privilege. Hence, no need to hide or smoke if asked.

2. The answer to your second questions depends on where you live and how well connected you are. Some constituencies have many applicants, some have none. The former can be tough (or face a long wait) while the latter can be a shoo-in after a short period of observation.

Hi, I’m new parent. My child is born in 2018 and should have about 3 years to P1 registration year.


The school i want to apply for is in a GRC different from where I stay. Although the school is within 1km from me. I am aiming for phase 2b as 2c run a risk of ballot.

School is within 1km from me but in WP GRC. Im staying in PAP GRC.

Qns: Can i still apply to be involved in WP GRC given my address? Appreciate some advice. Thanks.
