Hi, like to seek your good advice, currently my daughter of 5 year old is staying with my parent with my maid. It at bedok and only occupy by my parent. Since n1 and for the past 3 years. My kid been study at a near by kindergartner at bedok. My own place is at sengkang. I would like her to study at bedok for her primary school education.


I intend to rent out 2 rooms of my flat at sengkang and likely my wife will still stay there as her work place is at ang mo kio ave 5.

So can I change my address to my parent place and my wife remains as in sengkang. With both parent different address, can register for my kid’s primary school?


Thanks

Hi … I also have a question. Is there any minimum period that one needs to stay near a school. what about people who wish to rent a place close to school to improve chances and also allow the child to get used the Primary school environment and then move back to old house. eg. registration is in June 09 for 2010 P1?


thanks

smurf:

I dun feel that is the right way to do lor. I mean, if a child genuine staying near to the school who wanted a place there, by renting a place (not actually staying there), you are 'robbing' him/her of a chance of getting a place.


sorry, just a thought cos I would be very angry if my boy can't get a place there because other parents use other method to get in. unless I'm staying in the rented house lah.:!:

Miracle child,

when is your boy p1 registration?

I am also thinking of renting a place near our top choice school and actually staying there of course. Not sure if this can work.

I think if you rent a place and not stay there but change your IC address to this place, you will be in trouble with the police anyway.

Any good schools near Changi Prison?? :lol: :lol: :lol:

My husband and I are currently staying together with my in-laws (and my son). My in-laws have expressed the desire to shift near our relatives, and hence I am thinking of enrolling my child in a school within 1km of their new place. Since my husband and I frequently work overseas, we will likely have to register in laws as my son's guardian.


I am currently going for interview to be a parent volunteer in that school (Phase 2B). Balloting is required for Phase 2B (for those further than 1km). Can I ask, if I become successful as a parent volunteer, and I enrol my son into this school using my in-law's address, do I still qualify under the \"below 1km\" or \"1-2km\" slot?

Hope my question is clear! Thank you!!

As long as you are registering your child under a guardian's address, your distance qualification will never be under 1km even if the guardian's address is 10m away from the school. It will be at least between 1-2km.

Distance qualification applies at all stages (Phase 2B onwards), regardless of whether you are a PV or community contributor. However, it comes into play only when the number of applicants exceed the number available places.

Hope this clarifies.

Sorry, forgot to reply to you. :oops:

According to http://www.moe.edu.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/required-documents/:

\"J: For Registration using address of yet-to-be completed property

An original Sales and Purchase document is required if the address of a yet-to-be completed property is used for registration. A copy of this document is to be retained by the school. Parents using the yet-to-be completed property address for registering their child in a school of choice must move into the new property within two years of the child’s entry into Primary One. For this purpose, the date of commitment by the developer in T.O.P (Temporary Occupation Permit) must not be later than 31 Dec 2011.\"

So as long as you can show proof of your commitment to purchase, and if your property's TOP is before your child enters Primary 3, you should be able to use that address.

Thank you for the reply! I think I am clearer now.


On another note, if I have another property that will TOP the year my child goes to Pri One, what will happen if I sell it within one year of my child’s school?

You should not be using that address for the P1 registration since that is not your primary home address.
