Hi, just to keep all informed, last week I wrote to MOE to ask which constituency the schools (which I am interested of) would now belong given the electoral boundaries annoucement on 24/02/2011. A while ago, they replied me to say that they need some time to work out whether there are schools which are affected due to the electoral boundaries announced recently and will advise accordingly when they have the confirmation. So interested parties, please hang on there for more news. My hb who is the one serving as GRL is actually not worried at all as he is confident that things will work eventually. Give them some time.

Thanks, Flower Power! I hope MOE's consideration wouldn't be just one-sided, i.e., while there are schools that changed GRC, there are also GRLs affected by the change in GRCs. It's double whammy for some. Personally, I'm left with only Queenstown Primary and New Town Primary (with spaces left after Phase 2C supp) because of the change in GRC and no other school within 2 km in my new GRC, and I'm not allowed to change address/move house because I've been told that the RC membership status would change (from executive member to associate member which doesn't qualify as phase 2B).

It would really be very sad for those affected GRLs although their contributions would still be highly regarded. Somehow, i wished it could be a happy ending. :D[/quote]


I thought contributions as a GRL should be towards the community and not just for Phase 2B?

Err... Got say like no say. Of course this is a politically correct answer. There will be changes to fit into the new boundaries

Yes but GRLs also have children that needs to go to Primary school so it would be double happiness if they could contribute towards the community and also send their children to the schools within the GRC they serve at the same time.

Pls allow me to be blunt...

Do u think those parents volunteering to be PVs are all truly just want to help out in the schools?

Hi all, does anyone know whether it is too late for me to join the NC now so as to qualify for Phase 2B2 for the upcoming registration in Jul?

There are many info. /discussions in the earlier pages of this thread which may help you understand the general time frame required.

Join this time last year already too late, not to mention now. In general and to be safe, time frame is 2 years.

Thanks for your replies and advice. I read the earlier posts and some got their ‘approval letters’ within 6 months…anyway it was a last minute change on the choice of school that prompted me to ask this question at this late stage…
