Thanks verykiasu2010


But the address in my IC is also our property..
We have 2 houses but living in one..we cant possibly have 2 address in our IC so we chose to have our 1st hse printed in our ic..

Some schools are very clever. The teachers will ask where the students stay and the truth will be out. Parents found to have falsely declared the address in their NRIC will have the child transferred out. The NRIC address should reflect where u live, unless u sleep alternate nite in each property ?

Some schools are also known to make \"site audit\" to verify, esp the popular schools.

Don't take risk. Don't let the kids learn the wrong lessons too

I too have two properties both within one km of a very popular school but we cannot let our relative use one of the addresses for their kid's registration because that tantamount to false declaration. Teacher's chat with the kids will find out the truth, and will result in kids being transferred out, negative publicity in the press, police investigation etc etc

Yes I do sleep at in each property on alternate nites or weekends swap. But come April we are gonna stay put in one and perhaps changing our ICs to the one that has good schools around.

Definitely MSHS under phase 2A.

Get your DS a confirmed place before considering your chances of getting into ACPS.

That said, looking at past year balloting history of ACPS, phase 2C balloting is only for those staying within 1km in 3 out of the previous 4 years. So chances of your DS getting into ACPS is really not high.

Hi all,


My boy was born in 2005, so it may still be early for me to ask, but I need to find out more in advance as I am not familiar with primary education here.

My husband studied in Maris Stella, so I think our boy is in 2A2 category. However, we haven’t decided whether to put him in an all boy or a co-ed school. My husband who studied in boy schools for primary and secondary is relunctant in sending the kids to boy schools. He said it was boring with all boys in school and he didn’t know how to interact with girls later on.

Is this even an issue with the parents who send their boys to coy schools? Should I be concerned about this? My ds is saying he wants to study with both boys and girls… He gets along with girls quite well now, but I don’t know if this will still be true when he gets a bit older.

My other options are volunteering at Ai Tong > 2km, and Kuo Chuan <1km. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

hi bigdevil,


Thanks for your advise. I made a typo error in my original message. I live within 1 km of ACPS and hence the dilema. Going to MSHS, is going to be a distance for me and it’s going in the wrong direction, if I drop him off before work, so I’m seriously considering somewhere closer.

But waiting until phase 2c and the possiblity of balloting is very scary. i’m just not sure what to do.
