Hi, my boy is borned in the year of 2010 and will be in P1 next year. Our distance to Fairfield Pri School is 1.8km and we have no relationship to get into phrase 2A or 2B. Alternatively my mum’s place is within 1km nearby Qifa Pri School and Nan Hua Pri School. I cant make up my mind which school to try and my husband preferred school to be as near as possible… Any advice for me please…tia

there is few things to consider , for me distance , convenience and time.

Among the schools you mentioned, seems like your only choice is Qifa. What about schools near your house?

Will your mum be the one looking after your boy? If so, it's better to choose a school nearer to your mum's house. However, if you are going by the caregiver route, you will be in the 1-2 km category even if your mum's house is next to the school. This rules out Nan Hua.

sorry i am new to all these


i try to understand the registeration phase . based on what i see on the website , i am definite phase 2C and online registration is allowed ..

then next question , do the home to school distance still apply ..i heard in the phase distance are considered but i cant seem to find it on the website

assuming yes still taken into consideration , must it be parent's home or we can use caretaker's home address ?

if my place it is near nan chiau if my mom place it is holy innocent .. what will happen if i cant get a place in either ... :nailbite:

The school nearby my house will be newtown primary school but I heard the school is not good. My mum stays in clementi and if i use her address will i be in phrase 2c within 1km? Or 1km to 2km? I do have the plan to have my boy goes to my mum’s place after school but he is spoilt by my mum so I am worried that he will come back home everyday without touching his school bag

Using guardian's address will always put you in the 1-2km bucket, even if the address is within 1km. And if you are eyeing Nan Hua in Phase 2C, I would recommend you save all the trouble and just go for Newtown which is right next door to you.

Thanks for your advice! I am thinking should i go for Qi fa pri at clementi? Anyone has review on the school? Newtown’s location will be most convenient… dilema… 1.8km from my house to fairfield… do I have any hope?

There's no dilemma. Reviews matter only if you have many choices or if you still have a realistic chance of making a choice. At this stage, you are limited in your options and is really down to maximizing the choice of getting into a primary school only.

You have no hope for Fairfield, so that's out of the consideration.

You can do a statutory declaration that your mom is the caregiver and use your mom's address to apply for Qifa (Phase 2C 1-2km). Afterwards, you hope/pray for the best - either no ballot for 1-2km or you successfully ballot for 1-2km. Qifa has yet to ballot for <1km so you should have a chance to ballot at least.

If, unfortunately, you fail at the ballot for Qifa, apply to New Town in Phase 2Cs. This school is rarely full even after Phase 2Cs, hence, should be quite safe as your last option.
