My family has been living overseas for last 4 years, our ICs reflect overseas address. How can I register my daughter in school of choice during P1 registration in phrase2C?

Please refer to the http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/overseas-singaporeans/ for more information.

*gasp* I thot my hubby and I can each use one address and register at two diff school. *sad*

I believe this point has been mentioned several times in this forum. There is NO WAY you can register your child with two different schools AT THE SAME TIME even if the addresses shown in your and your spouse's NRIC are different. The system accepts only ONE application at any point in time during the registration exercise.

me new to the forum and P1 reg procedure.

had since read up and know that cannot do it.

Thank you QMS & Tankeefor pointing me to the MOE website, but it does not provide me with the answer so I called and spoke with an officer and got exactly what Tankee said.....


Thanks again!!

and don’t forget that schools do spot check on pupil’s home address after "successfully" registered and enrolled in the school


people who are too creative and overly resourceful in using addresses have been caught out before and the students got transferred out

the child is the one who suffers the humiliation and shame

It's not a matter whether the teachers or staff of the schools are free. In a way, it's just being fair. Imagine, if you stayed within 1 km from the school, or, worse, next to the school, and were being balloted out to someone who \"claimed\" to stay within 1 km, too. How would you feel?

Hi, i’m posting this question on behalf on my friend. She’s been renting an apartment within 1km from the school where she’s going to enroll her daughter in. Her daughter will need to enroll for P1 next year. But the landlord wants to take back the apartment by June next year, so he can use the address to enroll his kid in the same school.


So, looking at the situation, it seems that she’ll have to find another place within the same vicinity because the landlord will be using the current address? I thought there’s some regulation as to how long you’ve stayed at a particular address before you can use it for sch enrollment? Thanks in advance!

the regulation just state that applicant must register using the address they will be staying in when the child is in primary school.
