Yes, you will have phase 2B priority for schools at your new address only.

Thanks!
So I'll need to be an active GRL for 2years from now till 2026.
But if I were to move in 2024, or 2025. I will still volunteer in the RN? and still be able to obtain the letter?
Or I will need to transfer to another centre at my new place. If yes, will the 2 continuous year be disrupted?

Thanks

The question is: will it be inconvenient for you to travel to your current RN if you moved in 2024-25?
If no, then I would think it is safer to stay put at the current RN as I don't know if your time of service before 2024 will be recognised by the new RN. Why don't you check with your current leader, and verify with the new RN leader?

Thanks for the advise.
Will check with both the current leader and new RN leader.

Hi, The primary that I will be applying for my kid is in Ang Mo Kio. But the community work that I am currently doing is in a different zone in Ang Mo Kio. The question is: Does the active community leader have to be in the same Ang Mo Kio zone as the primary school?

You will have phase 2B priority over a school based on where you STAY regardless of where you served.

Hi Parents! I’m currently an active GRL in my RC and the school we want to enroll our kids is in another region.

I understand that I can be qualified as 2B for the school where I stay, not where I serve the community.
But may I know how the process work? Once I move, I update my address with police station, and then my address will be updated in PA system and then I will be qualified and get the letter?
My concern is once my address is not in the RC I serve, will it make me disqualified as active GRL? Or will the RC remove me?
Thanks!

Hi Parents,


I just become observer and attended my first RN meeting on 16Apr. My RN said usually took about at least 3 months to convert to a EM.

I’m preparing for my kid’s primary school registration in 2026 and the registration should be around July 2026.

Understood need at least 2 year service as GRL to qualify for 2B pri sch registration.

May i check if anyone know if the two year service start from observer or EM? Many thanks!

I think it would start from when you are promoted to an EM.

If two years service start from EM, which mean I might have less than 2 years of service on July 2026.


Assuming even if i successfully convert from observer to EM after 3 months will be around mid July 2024. Then i may only have 23 months of service on July 2026 (pri sch registration). Short of 1 month service

Is my above understanding correct? Hope fellow parents with experience in GRL and phase 2B pri school can advise. Many thanks!

I think you need to check with your RN to confirm. MOE only says \"ACTIVE community leader\" which I assume is an EM. In any case, the 2 years rule is a rule controlled by the GRL and not MOE, so PA should be the ones answering this question.
