can accumulate years of rc service ?


exampe:

join rc young, at age 20.
get married at 25, by 30 give birth to 2 kids (1 boy, 1 girl).
means total accumulated 10 yrs of rc, from age 20 to 30.

can this person then use accumulated 10 yrs rc work - to join phase 2b to allow boy and girl go different school in same GRC ?

This is generic term referring to all volunteers in GROs, be it GRL or otherwise. To others, we are all volunteers. If they put GRL, think no one will dare to step forward.

Hi - Can the P2B priviledge be re-used ? ie I registered eldest child under P2B but decided to choose different primary school for 2nd child, therefore is 2nd child eligable under P2B ? (assume i have continue accumulate more than 1 year of service after i registered eldest child).

Hi Busymom, did you serve in CCC or RC? Is the GRC also where you reside?

Ok, let me clarify. DH serves in CCMC, but not in the GRC that we reside. We thought that allows us to apply for schools in the GRC where he serves, but in the end, we could apply for schools in both the GRC he serves, as well as the GRC that we reside.

That was last year, I hope the rule hasn't changed for this year.

Hi Busymom

Can you share how did your husband get appointed in CCMC ?

[Busymom]

erm… by helping out in the MPS weekly, and thereafter as an observer in CCMC and eventually become a EM. Sorry, I don’t have full knowledge of the details, but I think you need recommendation from the advisor to be appointed in CCC or CCMC.

Why not if you are still serving in your RC when your 2nd child is due to registration

Very interesting.....

Moulmein is now part of Moulmein-Kallang GRC instead of Tanjong Pagar GRC. Radin Mas now become a SMC

Alot of good schools in Moulmein & Radin Mas

Definitely will affect parents here... Good news for those stay in Kallang/Jalan Basar and bad news for those stay in Tanjong Pagar GRC

Lucky for those staying at Holland-Bukit Timah GRC. No changes

[b2b3m4]

Now Nan Chiau under Sengkang West SMC instead of AMK GRC. Think shouldn’t affect most parents since one usually need to be within 1km to enter NCPS under phase 2b.
