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

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.

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…

The \"approval letter\" mentioned is not the P2B letter, it's the confirmation/appointment letter for EM. From EM date, you need to serve another 12 months before you are eligible for the P2B privilege. So min. is 1.5 yrs and this is considered quite fast. That's why we said 2 yrs safer. Some more it may takes few months after application (to PA) to start serving as Observer. So all these adds up. Cheers!

The letter is only a letter to allow parents to register their children at Phase 2B. It states your name, appointment and the GRO you served, as well as your child's particulars.

It basically said your child is eligible for Phase 2B admission to P1 at any of the schools in SMC/GRC where you serve and where you reside, and may apply subject to availability of vacancies for Phase 2B.

GRL with the letter is suppose to produce it at the eligible school of choice when he/she registers for P1.

Which is also the reason why some committees take so long to recommend EM. They observe first. Hopefully these parents continue to serve the community after their kids got into the school. I know people who do not get involved once they obtained their objective. Sad though....
