Using Relative's Address & Statutory Declaration

[Pokky]

If we declare using grandparents address to do the registration at the moment as non-working foster parents but later part the grandparent / foster parent found a job and goes to work, will there be any issue?

[titank]

I guessed should be ok as this part is rather grey area. Going out to work maybe could be part time, freelance etc. Anyway you need to take a declaration oath for that.

:? I dont see anything wrong in using the grandparent's address..


In fact, there are many parents out there who use this to beat the system..
They change their address to that of their parents for the P1 registration to
get their child into a school of their choice..
Once the child is accepted... The rest is history.

They must also declare that the grandparents are care giver

Schools may make surprise visit, and chit chat with teachers and classmates may let out the truth

If found to be false declaration, child also got transfer out. truly the rest will be history, and the child suffer psycho damage

parent volunteer is in Phase 2B. assuming that the grandparent's address is <2km, you will be under 1-2km category under Phase 2B.

so, if i’m using grandparent address, it makes no sense for PV? My parent’s address is <2km.

MOE ruling is


If you use your parents’ address, and go by the caregiver route, you are considered in the > 2km category, if your parents’ house is within 1-2 km from the school.

No. if using grandparent's address, kidzo will be considered to be above 2km if kidzo's parents are within 1-2 km.

You are confused.

PV quallifies you to register in phase 2B. The distance comes into play in assigning places and balloting situation regardless of phases.

Meaning to say, regardless of phases, distance is not important if number of registrants is less than the number of places available. But if there are not enough places to go around, places will first be given to those within 1km, then to those between 1 and 2 km, finally to those beyond 2km.
