Dear Parents


If my child is born in 2013 and starting primary school in 2020, when registration usually starts?

And how do I know what are the primary schools under the GRC that I wish to sign for as RC member?

Can someone help me? Im all so clueless and read that people are starting to volunteer and clock in PV in their preferred school. Is there no hope for me?

If you plan to go for GRL route, I'm afraid you're a bit too late. You can still try to do PV though, but you'll have to secure your PV slot this year as registration is in mid-2019.

Sorry, why is starting grassroots now considered too late for mid-2019 registration? Saw that it takes 3-6 months to get Exec Member status, and then after that can request letter based on how active you are? Is there a longer minimum time rule (either official or unofficial)?

I'm in the same boat as OP, was planning on signing up as GRV now

You have to be active for at least 2 years (not including the ‘observer period’) before you are eligible for the GRL benefit, which means you have to be active by mid-July 2017 to qualify for mid-2019 registration.

Unless you can turn back the clock, you are too late.

How do I register to be serving in Tanjong Pagar GRC if I am currently staying in a different GRC? Will only move closer to year end into Tanjong Pagar GRC. My second child is born in 2014 and hope to register him under phase 2B in ACS Pri as it is near to where his sister is going to.

My advise is to approach the nearest RC/CC to inquire on joining the grassroots of new residence.

One think to add is that it is not a given that one can switch RC and retain the years of service, one RC I know of, require you to go thru observer phase again to gauge your active level before decide on whether to let you join and also if the RC is already reached its quota of members and observers, they might not accept new observers. Tanjong Pagar GRC is very popular because of ACS and Radin Mas, so have to cater extra time for this.

Thanks troychua79, I will check with the individual GRC. It seems like there isn’t a standard way this is handled and dependent on individual GRC if they allow automatic transfer or not.

What is NC? I sign up as volunteers with PA and I am looped into my estate committee member (condo) does it meant I’m under NC category? And am I eligible for phase 2B P1 registration?

if i intend my child to participate in the 2020 primary school admission exercise, is it timely for me to start the process to become an active community leader? I know it takes around 3-6 months to be endorsed as an active community leader and after that you need 2 years of service. Or do you need 2 years of service from the time you started the process (including the time you were an observer)


meaning,
observer time + confirmed community leader time must be 2 years at time of the start of the primary school exercise?
or
confirmed community leader time must be 2 years at the time of the start of the primary school exercise?

:thankyou:

You have to be confirmed by July 2018 to qualify for 2020 registration, which means you have to hurry as you are running out of time.
