All About Home Addresses

[KPAC]

Sorry if this had been asked before, but I scrolled a few pages and still can’t find the answer.


If I wish to do grassroots, can I can rent an apartment and join the NC/RC/whatever-C in that GRC?

Or can we only join the grassroots of the property that we own?

We are prepared to rent well ahead of P1 registration, and continue staying there for 30 months after. The reason for this is because our place can only sell in the same year that our kid is due for P1 registration.

Thanks!

Was in 100AM been given brochure for new project call 10 Evelyn.

The guy was telling me located within 1km of ACSP, ACSJ & SJIJ.
They got ad running in this forum.
Has anyone got any feedback?

Muse @ Newton?
Yes, it's within 1km to all 3 schools but at > $2,500 psf, it may not be the best option if distance (to the 3 schools) is an important consideration. I would rather look at other options.

Dear Floppy,
Thanks for sharing.
No not Muse it is 10 Evelyn.
I call ad & learn lots from the agent about admission.
Within 1km no guarantee but will give a big boost.
When to his preview, was impressed by his small $1.2+m & ID quality.
I gave refundable cheque to book seat for Friday's launch.
Call him, even no buy also can get good tips from him.

Hi, my son is three this year and we are planning to get our next home soon and considering an apartment which is 1km to St Joseph Junior. And we are both Catholic. What are the chances? I’m worried that if we fail the ballot system, there’s not many choices within the considered area for primary school. Should we even take the risk and put in the money for our next home… this address is also 2km to St Andrews… seeking for advice pls…

Let me guess...<1km from SJI Junior and 1-2km from St Andrew’s Junior...would be along Mandalay Road, thereabouts?

SJI Junior is a sure-in for you. Double sure-in, in fact. So u can safely go and buy. Phase 2B <1km has never needed balloting any year. And even if u encountered a freak year and have to ballot, you still get another chance at phase 2C <1km.

St Andrew’s: not much chance for your distance category. But u won’t need it anyway.

Yes within 1 km to the 3 boys' schools. Went to see the showflat at Amara. Didn't book a place but welcome to the neighbourhood!

Dear All,


Is it possible to register different addresses for Phase 2B and Phase 2C.

Using this example, we would like to apply for Nanyang Primary under Phase 2B using the rented condo address which is <1km but unfortunately we did not get in during the balloting process.

Then we change address back to our HDB address to register for Phase 2C for the nearby neighbourhood school.

Is that ok?

Hi Levinakit,

I am considering doing the same thing. Meaning apply to school A in Phase 2B from home 1 (which I own and which is not rented out and which is within 1km of school 1) and if I don't win the ballot, then in the 3-4 days before registration of Phase 2C legally change my address to home 2 (which I own and which is not rented out and which is within 1km of school 2) and then apply to school 2 from that address.

Looking at the MOE language, it is subject to interpretation:

\"The 30 months stay requirement is applied from the point of P1 registration onwards. For example, in the 2018 P1 Registration Exercise, the 30 months requirement starts from the commencement of the P1 Registration Exercise on 28 June 2018.\"

Interpretation 1: Hard and fast date. At the exact date of Jun 28, whatever address you are officially residing in is the address that you must stay in for 30 months. Meaning I cannot do what I propose above (ie change \"addresses\" in between 2B and 2C).

Interpretation 2: Whichever address you successfully apply from, for the Exercise that begins Jun 28, will be the address you must stay in for 30 months. Meaning if you apply and fail from address 1, but then apply and accept in address 2, then its allowed so long as you stay in address 2 for 30 months.

Can the Masters please clarify this, and anyone with real concrete experience and know for 100% sure the answer please confirm?

This is really important (to me).

Thank you all so much.

Fraud is only if you use the address and don't live in it.

Yup.
Therefore, if you own 2 or 3 properties, you could use 1 address for Phase 2B registration, update to another for Phase 2C registration, and update to the last for Phase 2Cs registration. You will then move in and stay in the one that you got in via distance priority.

Hi Floppy and other masters,

I am considering doing the same thing. Meaning apply to school A in Phase 2B from home 1 (which I own and which is not rented out and which is within 1km of school 1) and if I don't win the ballot, then in the 3-4 days before registration of Phase 2C legally change my address to home 2 (which I own and which is not rented out and which is within 1km of school 2) and then apply to school 2 from that address. I am open and able to live in either address, no tricks or deception here; I would really move.

Called MOE before re your question. Interpretation 2 is fine. Just stay 30 months in the address you used for registration. You can move out of the distance range once your kid turns P3 (around Jan/Feb).

We had to rent when our place was still under tenancy at point in time of P1 registration. Within 2 mths of tenancy expiry, we change address with the school. No issue raised as it was both with 1km. When DC successfully DSA we planned to move back to our home in the west in the early part of PSLE year coz we found a buyer to takeover the home we stayed for 5 plus years. So, think the 30 mths rule shld be within the defines of after P1 allocation.
