      Yes, I saw it myself when I registered this year. I should think it includes all possible addresses including new developments that are within the permitted TOP timeframe.

      zac's mum:
      My DS registration in 2016, I remember they keyed in my postal code into the computer to check.

      You very sure in 2018 still using physical copy?

      Does it have the newly TOP condos?

        Hi,

        Have a question on address:

        1. PV applications more than what they required, selected PV likely based on distance
        2. Registered as PV using within 1km address
        3. Applications at 2B less than available places, everyone secured a place

        Question: Am I still required to stay at the within 1km address for 30 months given that no balloting is required at 2B?

        TIA

          It's based on address used for registration. Whether ballot or not, 30 months rule applies.

            Yes. You're expected under MOM P1 admission rules.

                Even if no balloting but you are “allocated” a seat based on distance, you still need to stay in the place for 30months. Eg. Seats in phase 2B just enough for those within 1km hence no balloting needed.

                  Wait.
                  My understanding is:
                  If there was priority because of the address, then the 30 months is required.

                  But since numbers applied was less than available vacancies, all went in and no priority was used in any filter.

                  I think we must call moe on this.

                  The distinction is not about balloting it’s about if the distance priority was used.

                  Eg:
                  20-5-5 for 20 vacancies
                  All 1km gets in because of priority thus 30 months is required. (But no balloting for 1km also)

                  5-0-5 for 20 vacancies.
                  All gets in.
                  No priority was used.
                  No need 30 months.
                  (No balloting also)


                  No interpretation of the 30 months rule.

                    Where got your suka suka interpret your way.

                    What ever it is based on your registration forms at the point of application for phase 2b, the address will hold for 30 months. Cos at the point of submission of form, there is a form which the officials will have to indicate your address and its distance from the school.

                    No need to debate whether u got in via distance or not. If you want debate, you should have put a distance of >2km.

                    Period.

                      It’s plain English - written on a website.

                      Of cos must interpret la.

                      Unless you are 100% sure, I don’t see why when priority was not used but 30 months is required.


                      Quote from moe website again:

                      Do parents need to seek MOE’s approval before the family moves to another address without our child being transferred to another school?

                      Answer:
                      Parents do not need to seek MOE’s approval to change their residential address.

                      However, if a child gains priority admission under the home-school distance categories and is subsequently found to have not fulfilled the condition that the child resides at address used for registration for at least 30 months from the commencement of the P1 Registration Exercise on 28 June 2018, MOE reserves the right to transfer the child out of the school to another school with vacancies.

                        Weixiang, I really do think Skii’s point is valid. It’s not “suka suka” interpret. It’s based on logic and deduction, and absolutely fair. So in that parents case, I believe he/she can change address within 30 months. I’m sure MOE can clarify.
