Hi, can I check for Phase 2A2, will MOE consider the distance of our house still? Or they’ll just based on my husband’s old record book. Thanks in advance!

Distance will be taken into consideration if there is any balloting, from P2A onwards.

Yes.

susu3:

Whats the procedure?

You and your spouse need to be stationed in the two schools - one in the P2A1 school and the other at the P2C school. Once you have decided to register with the P2C school, the one who is at the P2A1 school needs to withdraw your child's application before the one at the P2C school is able to proceed with the registration.

susu3:

Do we know immediately on tat day if we get in?

Depends. If the school traditionally has balloting in the distance category you are in, you will only know the result of your application on the day of balloting. Please note that once you give up the P2A1 place and should you do not succeed at the P2C school, you cannot return to the former school to claim your place.

Parents usually do it on the third day of P2C registration. Call the P2C school in the afternoon (about 3 pm) to enquire about the status and your child's chance of getting into the school. Discuss with your spouse and take it from there.

The person doing the withdrawing does not need the original documents. Only the person doing the registration needs them.

Hi,

For those staying within 1km of school but no sibling or parents as old boy/girl,
this falls under which phase?
I looked through the MOE ‘Registration Phases and Procedures’ but no mention of this.
Only when it comes to balloting does the 1km comes in?

this falls under which phase?

Yes, assuming parents are not PVs/GRLs or clan/church/association members.

iggie:

Yes. The distance between your house and the school does not determine which phase your child is in. Within each phase, should there be balloting, distance sets in.

Hi qms,

Thanks for your reply.

Not PVs/GRLs or clan/church/association members nor any other connection.
So rightfully I should go & register during which phase? 2A, 2b or 2C?
