Phase-by-Phase Strategy

Phase 1

Sibling Priority

Guaranteed

If your older child is currently enrolled at Rosyth, your younger child is guaranteed admission through Phase 1 sibling priority.

Phase 2A

Alumni Route

High

Rosyth has a dedicated and active alumni community. Former students who are members of the Rosyth Alumni Association can register under Phase 2A. Alumni children receive priority over the general Phase 2B/2C pool.

Phase 2B

PV + Grassroots

Medium

Rosyth is a non-affiliated school, so Phase 2B is via Parent Volunteer or Grassroots Leader. PV slots are limited and competitive — apply as early as possible. Grassroots leader (RC/CC/CDC) endorsement is the alternative path requiring 1+ year of active community service.

PV / Grassroots Info

Availability: Limited — competitive

When: Apply 2 years before registration

Hours: 40 hours minimum

Tip: Contact the school early. Grassroots path requires active community involvement (typically 1+ year).

Phase 2C

Open Balloting

Low

Rosyth regularly ballots in Phase 2C for <1km. 1-2km and >2km applicants have very low chance. The school's GEP centre status adds to its popularity. Living within 1km is strongly recommended.

Phase 2B — Step-by-Step Guide

Phase 2B at Rosyth School is via Parent Volunteer (PV) or Grassroots Leader. As a non-affiliated school, these are the only two Phase 2B paths. Competition is high as PV slots are limited.

Parent Volunteer (PV)High competition

Contact Rosyth School parent support group 2 years before P1 registration
Submit PV application in January. Slots fill within days
Complete minimum 40 volunteer hours over 2 years
Receive Phase 2B eligibility letter from school in June of registration year

Timeline: Start: K1 year (Jan). PV application: Jan-Feb. Complete 40hrs by: Apr of P1 registration year

Grassroots LeaderMedium competition

Join your local Residents' Committee (RC) or Neighbourhood Committee (NC) 2+ years before P1 year
Serve actively as an executive member. Attend monthly meetings
Obtain endorsement letter from People's Association (PA) for Phase 2B

Timeline: Start: By K1 year. Endorsement cutoff: ~Jun of year before registration

Key Dates

• PV applications open: January (2 years before P1 year)
• PV hours deadline: April of P1 registration year
• Grassroots endorsement cutoff: June of preceding year

Why <1km matters here: inside 1km gives the top home-school distance priority in Phase 2C.

Prices are medians of URA caveats — resale and sub-sale only, new launches excluded. "2BR"/"3BR" are floor areas (500–800 / 800–1,200 sq ft), not bedroom counts. Condo rents are URA's median rent per square foot per month (psf/mo) — a rate, not a monthly total. URA publishes no landed rents, so those cells stay blank. "—" means URA has no figure for that project: too few recent sales in that size band, or none at all.

Condo prices are medians of URA caveats — resale and sub-sale only, new launches excluded (window Sep 2024 – Sep 2026); condo rents are URA's median rent per square foot per month (2026 Q2). "—" means no figure is published for that row: too few records to quote one, or none at all. HDB figures in the within-1km tables are medians of data.gov.sg HDB resale registrations over the last 24 months and HDB's published median rent by town and flat type. Landed purchase figures are URA caveat medians for that street; URA's rental data covers non-landed property only, so the landed rent columns stay "—". Current listings: 99.co PropertyGuru
