2010 P1 Registration Exercise for 2011 In-Take

[janet88]

If the parents are divorced, it's understood that address shown on their ICs will be different. But what is the reason that both parents have to show ICs at time of registration ??


sc88,
My fingers were numb when we registered son for P1 then...told hubby I can't fill up the form and he better fill up in case I wrote something wrong out of nervousness. Stress just filling up forms :?:

Really stressed right? Janet.Yap. Yap.

I'm not sure how the school will keyed in according to which NRIC if the parents are divorced. :? But what I understand there's always a part to be ticked under married,divorced etc.

sc88,

If both parents are still married to each other, I just wonder why the addresses shown on the IC are different. Also what is the purpose of producing IC when the computer system has all the precise details.

My hands tremble and brain is jammed when I have to fill in important documents :stupid: Really dumb of me. :x That atmosphere is very intensive...crowded, school admin staff walking about etc etc.

No real life experience yet. I would say by 2.30pm, can call to check liao...or better still, station there to ask them directly.

Yap, that is what I thought but many advise that there is no need for me to apply so many days of leave. Or should I apply on the 3rd day then, would that be very risky???

I don't think we have the mood to work . Keep looking at the latest Schools vacancies through our website if we have the time when at work. :nailbite: :x :xedfingers:

Better to takes three days off if possible through my past experience.

optimus/sc88,

I monitored TV text like a hawk then…like those people monitoring shares. Guess parents will be very worried about the registration sessions twice a day for those 3 days. Once you know you got a place in the school, that feeling is like striking 4D.

As before they got married both have different address then. Maybe they already make their future plan to make use of this addresses for registration purposes (Within 1km) .Not willing to change to their new wed house address as it is not compulsory to give up your old address when married,right :? unless we want to change at the neighbourhood police station as and when we like.

There's no law I think that we have to change to our new wed address ,Right? :?

well, by law, you have to change address within 1 week of moving to a new place. Law has changed to make this mandatory, and something that is punishable in courts.

Kid is 6 years old at point of registration....father and mother still not married and living with parents? :!: That will be interesting.

B4 marriage, different add shown on IC. Changing to new wed address is for purpose of mail & convenience I guess.

If couple is married to each other, then it’s expected that addresses should be similar on IC. Besides child is 6 and due for P1 registration, then it can’t be that parents are not staying together.

Thanks, hquek. How should I put it yeah? We kind of staying half of our time with my mother and also spend another half at our own home, ie. weekends. Distance is not very far away, but then the school distance is critical lah. So, my IC is still at my mum's place but my husband's one is at our place. How?

Law only states you have to change address to where you are physically residing. They never say what happens if you have 20 houses and routine rotate your residence.

In any case, IF one has bought HDB flat, enjoying govt subsidies and all, won't it be funny to have an address that is not your hdb flat, when you are supposed to be residing in it?

Anyway, I think your case is quite moot, do what you will. And good luck!

Wondering how many parents will I meet when I go to West Grove for balloting :?

Balloting takes place in the evening...optional to attend but most will do so rather than wait at home for the letter to arrive from school/MOE.
