Hi


i was converted to Executive member in Sept’09 but my chairman told me that i might not get a chance to register under Phase 2B in 2010. This is 'cos i didnt meet the min 1 year service requirement set by PA.

Is this so?

When do we need to register with PA?

Hi,


As quoted byTegami on the previous posting on Tue May 12, 2009 10:08 pm , you should serve a minimum 1 year service & this is what I heard also.

You may refer to:


The following are the abstract for the MOE Primary One Registration Priority Scheme under Phase 2B for Grassroots Leaders:

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1) Only serving members of CCC, CCMC, RC, NC and Councillors of CDC who have served at least one year of continuous grassroots service immediately prior to their applications are eligible to apply for the Scheme.
2) The applicant must be a parent of the child to be registered for Primary One education for the year of admission as stated by MOE.
3) The applicant must ensure that the address stated in his/her application is his/her residing address and is the same as that in his/her NRIC. In the event that the address in the application is different from that in the NRIC, or if the address is not the residing address, the application will be rejected by MOE.
4) GRL applicants will only be eligible for any of the schools in the GRC/SMC where they serve and reside. CDC Councillors will only be eligible for any of the schools in the GRC/SMC where they reside and schools in the GRC/SMC of the Adviser who recommended them for appointment into the CDC. You may refer to the MOE website at http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/listing-by-grc/ for the list of schools.
5) Application is subject to the prevailing MOE's Primary One Registration Terms & Conditions and availability of vacancies for Phase 2B.
6) The closing date for the application is 12 June 2009.

Hopes this helps.

Yes you must at least 1 year of service in the Grassroot in order to qualify for Phase 2B. For your case in 2010 Registration, you must joined the Grassroot by 30 June 2009.

Hi puzzle,

Wow you must be super on the ball where able get EM in Sep 09. I heard some of them almost 12 months still being placed as Observer.

Are you in the 2010 Primary 1 Registration? I guess you would be qualify as long you joined by 30 June 2009.

Hi titank, my hubby also got his EM when he is there about 3months as a observer, I guess now it is easier.

Hi i3mum,


So it really depend on the right timing to get EM in the committee eg if there are many vacancies. I did ask when I was trying to be Community Leader prior in my earlier P1 Registration survellience. Seem like nobody giving me the right information .It was like :stupid:

In the end, I did through the Sch PV method.

Well guess most EM would slowly slowly to get out from the committee since their \"objectives\" had acheive. Well maybe some would have the fun in doing PV though the Grassroot way.

Hi titank,


Yes, I think so, it depends if there are any vacancies in the GRC. Which GRC are you in? I guess if I can get a chance thru PV, I will go thru it.

But to leave grassroot maybe difficult as you will tend to see the rest of the members as they live nearby, unless you decide to moves after that.

I would like to share my perspective of being a GRL. I read in this forum that some claimed money will bring someone to be a GRL, and some also hope to join as GRL to bring their kids to Phase 2B registration.


However, this could be the objective of the topic in this thread, but it may not be necessary true in the actual situation. I served in one of the constituencies and most of the volunteers are non-business man, in fact they are genuine volunteers that really serve the community.

To share further, I’ve in fact registered my kid to a school (not our school of choice) in phase 2C supplement this year, as we could not get a place for him after the balloting in Phase 2C. I went to seek help from the MP (I was not a GRL then) in the Meet-the-People-Session (MPS), and the MP helped to draft a letter to MOE. Unfortuantely, it was unsuccessful.

However, what struck me hard when I attended the MPS was not getting my kid into a preferred school, but the volunteers that spend their meaningful time to help many unfortunate people, who came forward to seek help. And I was quite impressed and touched. The next thing that I’ve done was to contact the PA and offer my help in my constituency especially in the MPS.

And now, the greatest achievement and benefit that I feel my volunteer work has really paid off is when my kids (3 and 6 years) asked me during the MPS day after I dropped them off at home "Dad, are you going to help people tonite ?" I replied "Yes, I am". And my younger kid would said "ok, you go and help people, and I will see you home tonite".

Can you imagine what value I’ve brought to my kids ? Is amazing … I felt extremely happy when they understand what I was doing, and they do not mind to spare their daddy for that few hours every week. Is a blessing for me … I lose initially for not able to get a school of our choice, but I gained unknowingly being a volunteer.

Hi marudine,


Yes being a GRL can have the chance to get into the school at Phase 2B. In summary, only be a GRL if you are willing to serve in the comminity & help people. I do agree with you the amount of satisfaction simply can't be measured.

Anyway this is one of the thread of those who can't get to PV & the only way is thry GRL.
