All About Primary Schools' Balloting History

[ecym]

Dear all,


I need some advice to register for my elder daughter in phase 2c. We staying within 1 km of St Hildas and within 2km of Poi Ching. We have all along wanted to register her with St Hildas, but looking at the balloting history and the number of vacancies in Poi Ching, i thought we may have a better chance getting in phase 2c to Poi Ching than to St Hildas? Would appreciate some advice...thank you in advance.... :?:

Historically both school conducts balloting for SC in Phase 2C within 1km.
Thus your chances at St Hildas is higher.

Hi,

My HDB is less than 5 yrs, and will I violate any rules for changing my address to my parent’s place to register for 2C less than 1km?

better not unless you are keen to have HDB officers come knocking on your door within days investigating why you change your ic address within MOP (that stress happened to a close friend of mine - by the way, your ic address change is auto-reported to HDB). if 1-2km can get in, better use grandparents address instead with all the relevant documents.

Unless you intend to move in with your parents, it is against the law

to declare an address you don’t actually live in as your residential address.

By the way, I just called in HDB to clarify on this. Their reply is that I did not infringe any rules so long that my HDB is not subletting out etc…

You are not infringing any HDB rule if you do not sublet.

However, you will be infringing on MOE P1 registration rule if you do not intend to stay there permanently for 30 months (?).

I’m already staying with my inlaws since 3 years ago and my HDB left vacant.

And I will be intending to stay there since it’s more convenient for my work and childcare arrangement.

i’m happy for you if so. but i suggest you get HDB official reply via email/snailmail rather than hearing such an important piece of news over the phone - in case of query, there’s actually no hard proof in your situation that the HDB officer said what you think he said. and the officer in charge of your case is probably going to be someone else.

Hi parents, I understand that phase 2c registration is over 3 days. Will MOE report registration numbers for the 1st and 2nd day? I thought it will be good for me to gauge if its mathematically possible for me to get into my 1st choice of School(nearest to me). Thanks.
