My mum is staying within walking distance to Fairfield Methodist. What if I change my IC address to my mum's place..will that solve the prob in my son getting a place in the school ?


2) Also, If we change our address at police post, do we need to produce any bills or anything ?

3) Can I change back the IC address after my child starts P1 ?

4) Does my hubby have to change his IC also ?

NRO has tightened its rules regardind address changing since June 2008. You will need to produce phone/utilities bills that reflect your current address. That is to confirm that you are staying with your mum.

Your registration priority is considered to be 1-2km even if your mum is staying right next to the school.

Only 1 NRIC is required.

Fairfield Methodist had come to a saturation point where at Phase 2C only 1 Km would conduct balloting.So in summary if you are beyond 1Km from Fairfield Methodist, it would be wise to target other primary school.

OHH My mum place within walking dist lah…then does it mean that if within 1 km …sure can get in ??


How popular is Fairfield ?

Also, when Phase 2c is carried out,is there a timing where what time the parents must be in the school…

even though your parents are staying within 1km, you are not allowed to register under Phase 2C within 1km, your application will fall on Phase 2C within 1-2km for registering under Grandparent’s Address.

Wow very interesting to read. Hope I’m not too late in discovering the dos and don’ts regarding Pri1 registration. Will be registering my boy next yr in 2009 to start Pri1 in 2010.


Have submitted my application to join HPPS alumni in Apr 08, to date have not heard from them even after 2 follow-up emails. Only comfort I have is that my cheque for membership fees was cleared.

Cant imagine being thrown into turmoil if my alumni membership is not processed and my son will need to go for balloting as we are outside of 1km from HPPS.

Zack, even if you didn't join the alumni, as long as u are an ex-student of the school, u will qualify under phase2A2. Which is almost certain of getting a place in HPPS, dont worry

Well we're talking about being KS... So if can get in under 2A1 would be more assuring LOL.

Frankly I was not aware of the phases and that there's a phase 2A2, which I only found out yesterday from MOE's site... If I had known, I might not have taken the effort to goto MOE HQ and pay $10 for proof that I graduated from HPPS and might also have put my membership fees to better use eg getting more enrichment books for my son

Zack, phases 2A1 and 2A2 had been in existence for quite some time already. If you just found that out yesterday, then you are apparently not as ks as some of us here who had been monitoring the system years before our kids are due for registration!

Oops ... Sorry let the cat out of the bag... Pls dun tell on me lest I get banned for not being KS enuf :shock: Joking... :lol:

I briefly checked out his folder early part of this yr then went to check my alumni application requirements and then pretty left this folder alone :oops:

Nonetheless, this folder is a goldmine with tonns of valuable information for parents gearing up for P1 registration
