Hello! Appreciate any advice here. My current address is in Jurong GRC and the school I’m interested in is 1km from my address. However the school is in the Holland-Bukit Timah GRC. Which GRC should I volunteer in then to be eligible for the school recommendation letter?

The new rule is you can choose any schools within 2km from your home address regardless of grc you serve. Anyway, you can only get EM status if you serve the grc that your house address belongs to. So just go for jurong grc and apply for the school you want. Good luck!

I am currently an executive member of one RN. And I stay in a different area. Not even very close.


I got a few questions.
1, is an executive member of a RN for 3 years above considered as an active community leader.
2, can I use this executive membership in one GRC allow me to apply for a school within 2 kilo metres of another GRC as a 2B applicant?

You can check with your PA rep in your zone. But my understanding is yes you can, given your service year qualified ie have been EM for more than 2 years by cut off date.

I thought the rules have changed so that GRLs get to select schools only within their home distance, regardless of which zone they are operating in?

Hi parents,

I’m new and would like to get some advice:
My child was born in 2020, and due to P1 registration in 2026 for P1 in 2027.
I applied for RC volunteers and just got replied to join their meeting next week.
Am I in time to be qualified for phase 2B?

Sounds ok, but better confirm with the team lead first in case they have any other requirements.

My understanding is once you just join the RC volunteers, you are an observer status which does not classified as a grassroots leader. Some observers took 6-12 months to become an executive member (grassroots leaders). You need to be an executive member in order to be eligible for pri 1 phase 2B registration. Do call the people association for a confirm answer if as an observer is eligible for phase 2B Registration.
