Hi I am a RC member, you must be an active grassroots leader for at least 1 year frm that date once u are confirm as executive member and not your date join as observer.

I have register my son in our choice of school under the the GRC that I served. PA will allocate u to the RC where u stay. The good thing is u can have more choice of school to select, but try to choose within 1 km, this will help very much to secure a seat for your child…

Hi,


You need to go to People Associate(PA) or Community Center that is the nearest to your home and ask for an application form to register yourself as a RC members.

You will be registered as Observers and volunteered in all the PA or RC activities for about 3-6 months before they confirmed you as executive members.

1-2 month before Primary registration starts, PA will ask members to register yourself so that they can prepare a Letter signed by your Member of Parliment (MP) to endorse you as a community leader.

Volunteering in Schools and through RC or CCC is different. Hour is longer then 40 Hours. The committment is also different as people you are working with are usually your neighbours.

Speaking from experience, it is quite fullfilling as your children can also be involved within your neighbourhood.

If you dun enjoy helping within your community, organizing block parties or volunteering in Government Feedback session, I dun recommend it.

Also the endorsement letter is only applicable to your GRC. I have a friend who live near within 2 km of St Hildas but his has volunteered for the wrong GRC. She did not realise it until tit is too late so make sure you dun make the same mistake.

Hope this help.
