Hi Parents,


Under the new 30-month rule, if we rent a place within 1km of dream school and we manage to get in, can we buy a place within 1km of the same school and then move to that new place within 30 months?

Thank you very much for your input.

Weigh your chances carefully then go ahead and buy a place instead of renting, in order to have a peace of mind.

ABCABCABC:

In my condo there are easily 20 China people who have converted to Singaporeans for their kids just to get into top schools. I see them during my son's swimming class and during our daily walks. Imagine these 20 are around the son age.. one condo only.. there are easily 30 condos around us so I presume the chances of real locals entering top schools will be down this year and next year

Very true, we PV with one of such parents and their son eventually is in the same class as my son. They even localized their surname !!

They are just a kiasu or even more than us Singaporean. A \"such\" coli of mine has started analyzing all the school registration statistics now and planning her bet and where to buy properties ... her kid is a few months old... :nailbite:

Hi all,


This is extracted from MOE website:
Proximity of Home to School
1. What address can be used for registering my child in the Primary One (P1) Registration exercise?
MOE reply: The address to be used is the official residential address on the parents’ NRIC. This address will be used to determine the home-school distance category.



If we rent a place to stay near the school, the address on our NRIC can be changed or needs to be changed?

Yes, you have to change the address on your NRIC as rightfully you should live in that address.

NRIC should reflect the actual address that you reside in, owned or rented.

Just to take note that if you change to the rented address and that address is used in balloting, then you will have the rent there 30 months straight.

No problem, it works perfectly, i just used it. You need to click on either find school near a building and place the ? to you the building that you stay and click. It will come out the search results

Your browsers might have some plugin issue. Have you tried Firefox? It works for me.
