KAP:

also, my choice of school is under AMK GRC. I'm currently staying at Marine Parade GRC. Does that mean i should move house now?

Yes, you will need to move. As a RC/NC EM, you need to be staying in that GRC. Unless you are a EM for the CCMC and CCC at AMK GRC, then no need to move. However, getting into CCMC or CCC is not easy.

Sorry to be asking such a fundamental/stupid question but how can we find out which schools belong to our GRC now? MOE used to have it on their website but now there seems to only be a list by planning area, not GRC. I used to also key in the postal code of the school on the PA website but that’s kind of a reverse search method, is there an easier way?

Can anybody help with this question ? I live within the Chengsan-seletar neighbourhood committee, will becoming an active grassroot leader qualify me for Rosyth phase2b? Chengsan-seletar GRC is under the AMK GRC.

Kindly advise pls? tks

Hi, can somebody help me to clarify a few issues:

1) if I have a property rented out in GRC A but am currently staying GRC B, can I apply to serve in GRC A?
2) RC/NC members can enjoy P2B only in the GRC that they serve but CCMC/CDC/CCC members can enjoy for all GRCs?
3) YEC and WEC members can’t be recognized as executive member?
4) how can we get into CCMC/CDC/CCC?
5) the address that the endorsement letter shows, is it based on IC or any that we may fill in? N if change address along the way, will it shows the new address or the old one when first joined?

Thanks so much for helping!!

Sorry, 2 more questions:

1) if manage to be a CDC member, can enjoy P2B for all schools, or only those schools in the GRCs under that particular CDC?
2) can a CDC volunteer possibly become an executive member?

Thanks again

If become CDC EM, you will be under phase 2B for all the GRCs under the CDC.

CDC members are usually appointed by the advisor of the CDC. Not easy to get in.

Thanks alot OrangeBelt!

Do you know if volunteers to CDC can become executive members?

[MummyBaobao]

Does anyone know if the endorsement letter by CCMC/CCC is the same as that by RC/NC?

the former allows enrollment in schools in all GRCs but the latter is only for schools in that one GRc that you serve right?

CCMC and CCC EMs does not allow 2B for all GRCs. It is only for the GRC you are serving and staying. For RC and NC, only for the GRC you are serving.

Hi, the following is from PA to all GROs. We were told to look into the cases of members who are affected by the recent electoral boundary changes. So there is hope for those affected. Cheers!

============================================

Dear General Managers and Constituency Directors

1. The registration of children for admission to primary one classes in 2012 under the Ministry of Education (MOE) Primary One Registration Priority Scheme for Grassroots Leaders (GRLs)/District Councillors (DCs) will commence in May/June 2011. Only serving members of the CCC, CCMC, RC and NC, and DCs of the CDCs, who have at least one year of continuous service immediately prior to their application (i.e. those who were appointed on or before 30 June 2010) are eligible to apply.

2. CCC, CCMC, RC and NC members can register their children at schools situated within the GRC/SMC which they are serving and/or residing, while CDC DCs can register their children at schools situated within the GRC/SMC which they reside and at schools situated within the GRC/SMC of the Adviser who had recommended them for appointment into the CDC.

3. With the recent announcement of the new electoral boundaries, some Grassroots Advisers and GRLs who are eligible for the Scheme have raised concerns about the impact this would have on the MOE Primary One Registration Priority Scheme. MOE has also asked PA for a gauge on the number of GRLs/DCs who might be affected.

4. In order for PA and MOE to ascertain the number of GRLs/DCs who might be affected, we would appreciate it if you could quickly check with your eligible and interested GRLs (CCC, CCMC, RC and NC) and CDC DCs who have one year of continuous service, whether their residing and/or serving GRC/SMC are affected by the boundary change.
