Dear all,

I am residing at Bishan, the GRC is Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC. Does being an active grass root leader make my child eligible for Phase 2B in all the schools within Bishan and Toa Payoh area? If my house is within 1km to 1 school in Bishan and 1 school in Toa Payoh, means I can choose either one to apply during Phase 2B?

I am confused and hope can get some help/answer here.

Thanks in advance.

You must check that the school address belongs to the same GRC as your address. Sometimes Bishan and TPY address belongs to other GRC/SMC.

I think it’s just easier to name the schools.

Part of Bishan is in Marymount SMC.
Part of Toa Payoh is in Potong Pasir SMC and the newest part of Toa Payoh (Bidadari) is in Ajunied GRC.

Eggtartlover,


As long as you are a Grassroot person (for a number of years) …
U could get letter of recommendation that qualify you to phase 2B.

After that - the usual balloting and allocation still applies.
If there is a over applications - then the 1km . 2 km and beyond still applies

When I was serving the community - I do it with my heart and all out to help the residents .


To me then, the school applications was a nice blessing - which in the end - helped my children a lot.
They entered SNGS.

Yes,


MPS is a Political session
while the RC is under PA.

If you have been around these events. you will realize that it is the same people that runs them.

We are both committed to serving the residents and helping them.

Election already over, so it will be the same for the next few years. Most probably ballot <1km for 2B and 2C.

School balloting has nothing to do with elections or not…

If u are talking about Catholic High School, the bulk of the phase 2B applicants are Catholic Church members, not GRL. But u will be competing in the same phase. 2B always ballots at <1km for 20 places btw.

Electoral boundary doesn’t concern Catholic Church members affiliation. The number of Catholics far outnumber the number of GRL.
