Hi parents, newbie here seeking advice.


For our current address (in-law’s place), there is no school less than 1km. Between 1 - 2 km, we have mostly popular schools like Henry Park and Fairfield and one neighborhood school (New Town). While our chances for the popular schools are close to zero, we are not keen on New Town too. Therefore, we are considering other options.

For our BTO flat which we rented out partially, both Henry Park and Fairfield are within 1 km and Pei Tong is between 1 - 2km. I understand that would increase our chances into the popular schools tremendously but we are also afraid that it may draw troubles to the rental.

Another option was the caregiver option. Under my parent’s address, there are Alexandra and Queenstown Primary between 1 - 2 km. These are actually our top choices. We can provide proof of full time employment and my father is not working. Would this be a safe option?

Appreciate your advice, thank you!
