Hi all, does anyone know whether it is too late for me to join the NC now so as to qualify for Phase 2B2 for the upcoming registration in Jul?
Join this time last year already too late, not to mention now. In general and to be safe, time frame is 2 years. -
Thanks for your replies and advice. I read the earlier posts and some got their ‘approval letters’ within 6 months…anyway it was a last minute change on the choice of school that prompted me to ask this question at this late stage…

The \"approval letter\" mentioned is not the P2B letter, it's the confirmation/appointment letter for EM. From EM date, you need to serve another 12 months before you are eligible for the P2B privilege. So min. is 1.5 yrs and this is considered quite fast. That's why we said 2 yrs safer. Some more it may takes few months after application (to PA) to start serving as Observer. So all these adds up. Cheers! -

The letter is only a letter to allow parents to register their children at Phase 2B. It states your name, appointment and the GRO you served, as well as your child's particulars.
It basically said your child is eligible for Phase 2B admission to P1 at any of the schools in SMC/GRC where you serve and where you reside, and may apply subject to availability of vacancies for Phase 2B.
GRL with the letter is suppose to produce it at the eligible school of choice when he/she registers for P1. -

Which is also the reason why some committees take so long to recommend EM. They observe first. Hopefully these parents continue to serve the community after their kids got into the school. I know people who do not get involved once they obtained their objective. Sad though....Pls allow me to be blunt...
Do u think those parents volunteering to be PVs are all truly just want to help out in the schools? -

on the other hand, if the PA does not dangle such carrots in front of people there would be fewer volunteers. its is a somewhat 'win-win' situation where PA gets additional volunteers every year, and those volunteers benefit from their service. The PA is still short of volunteers overall, so the extra intake every year will offset those leaving i suppose. -

every school will have a different number of vacancies for phase 2b depending on how many places are taken up in the first phase. with a grl letter you qualify for phase 2b BUT if there are more people who qualify than there are places in phase 2b, there will still be balloting. its not a sure thing that you get letter from PA means you will get a place. it depends on the schooltimtim,
