Exactly what we are gonna do now. better ask for clarity than kenna troubles! thanks guys for the input!!!!

Hi bobmaxiao, may I know if you managed to get a response from MOE? I am in a similar situation where I plan to register with current address <1km from the pri sch, but will likely have to move when my child is end-P1. Wondering if there is flexibility in moving to a <2km house then, in the situation whereby only >2km required balloting for that Phase.

Thanks in advance!

Not possible. You can move only same or better distance. If you know your property coming up in end P1, you should use your new property address to register.

Hi guys,

Sorry to ask noob question. I haven't had time to keep up with the news!

I know that MOE has increased places for Phase 2C to 40 spots? And Phase 2B remains at 20 spots. So For Phase 2C's extra 20 spots, is that taken from Phase 2A or Phase 2B?

Thanks in advance

The total 60 seats is reserved at the start. If there are more seats left in 2A, 1/3 will go to 2B and 2/3 will go to 2C.

Hi everyone, I'm currently a member of a methodist church but do not stay within 2km within Fairfield methodist primary school. Will my chance be high for my child to get into this school? Thanks!

With the reduced vacancies for 2B, most probably no chance for >2km. Find another school.

Rent also can.

Hi, with the most recent changes to p1 registration next year, may I ask what the chances are for Phase 2A, SC >2km? If we get balloted out at Phase 2A, we only have Kellock, Radin Mas, Zhangde, GES within 1-2km. Would be great to hear your views on next best choice (for a daughter).

Although 2A might need balloting for >2km, chances are still very high. 2C can go for Kellock, sure in.

Hi all,

i am new here and would like to seek your advice.

i would need to apply for primary school in 2023 for my daughter and i am targeting Nanyang Primary School. I am currently an EM (just for 1 month) in Tanjong Pagar GRC for almost one year. I am intending to move to 1km before the registration.

my question
1) if I move to the new address which is 1km to Nanyang primary, can i still use the grassroot letter from current GRC for 2B? or do i need to transfer my EM to the new RC/NC in the new address?
2) for renting a property near the target school, do i have to stay in the same address for 30 months? can it be like staying there for a few months and transfer to another address but still within 1km?

thanks
best regards
Jason

Before we answer other questions, if your EM started in Aug 2021, and the grassroots connect website will open about May 2023 for application 2B, you are not more than 2 years, so not eligible.

Hi everyone!

Is there somewhere I can see the breakdown of home-school distance for phase 2A for the past years?

Due to the new rule of combing 2A1 and 2A2, and moving 20 seats to 2C, I will now need to consider buying an apartment near my preferred primary school MGS (which I'm an alumni at).

However, I want to weigh my risk of me buying something that is 1-2km instead of sticking <1km - cause this will open up a lot more options for me. Can someone advise me please? Thank you!

So far MGS quite safe in 2A, so 1-2km is probably sure in.

Hi all,

Is there a website where we can see the home school distance for the old parameters? I realize now that Onemap has updated the new addresses, is there any way we can compare with the old ones to know which addressess/streets/estates have been added to the new 1km distance? Hope my question makes sense. Thanks in advance.

You can try asking here , which school which blocks etc
