[ptm]

Hi. I dint know that. I suppose we just need to try and see how things go.

Thanks.

Do note that if you move in to your parents plc, you will be required to do a SD (Statutory Declaration) with MOE. The catch is that even if your parent's place is within 1 km of the school, you will still be placed in the 1-2 km group as you have a SD. Thus if the choice school is balloting within 1 km, moving to parents' place does not provide you with an advantage. Nevertheless, you may want to just do a SD first and play the wait-and-see game as the 'stock market' starts during phase 2C registration.

If you move in to your parents' place, why do you still need to do a SD? You are effevtively staying with your parents, and should change the address in your NRICs to reflect your parents' address.

That's a very good point, qms

Yes, Actually that was the plan, to change our NRICs address.

since you are effectively staying there, you won't have to make any declaration like what qms mentioned.

HI,


Looking at the stats, It looks like I stand a chance for 2016 registration for 2017 P1 entry either in ACS Primary or SJI. But my husband thinks otherwise and wants to move in with my parents plc in Serangoon so tt we stand a better chance for St Gabs.
Can I hear from the experts on what you think is a good idea?
Ballot under Phase 2C for ACS pri or SJI or move into Serangoon for St Gabs.

Pls advise.
Thank you.

Why bother? Historically, St Gabriel goes all the way to Phase 2CS. Even for last year, all applicants got in at 2C. So there is no need to change your address, nor move into your parents' place to get in.

If St Gab's historically goes into 2CS, then go for balloting at ACS or SJI Jr, you may just stand a chance...

I have a place in Rulang under Phase 1. However, I am interested in St Marg and can only apply under Phase 2C, more than 2km. I was told I need to give up the confirmed place to have a chance in St Marg. It is pretty risky if I give up Rulang and end up having to go through balloting. Worst if I didn’t get through balloting. Is there any way I can know if it is going to be balloting for 2C before the closing of 2C? Are the schools strict in the closing time?

Of course they are going to be strict with the timing. If you want to take the risk, then you have to bear the consequences. Like being balloted out and having to go through 2CS. Just stay with rulang.
