May I ask if we are able to rent a unit within 1km of the school, and during the 2year lock-in period change to our official new house which is also within 1km? Reason being that the new place will only be ready somewhere in between the lock period..

Yes, if distance is same or better, it’s ok.

Thanks! Just visited a showflat and the agent said we can actually use the new condo address to ballot for 2c within 1km even if it has not TOP for us to move in yet. If yes means we don’t have to rent a nearby unit already. How sure how true is this?

Scroll back a few posts. The answer you seek has already been answered.

“The vacant or delivery possession date of the new property you are moving into must be within 2 years of your child’s entry into P1”

hello all! not sure if I am interpreting correctly or not - does it mean I can move to a new place on 1 June 2021 that is <1km of the school that I want to go, and make sure that I stay 30 months after that?


as I was under the impression that the child must stay in the property for 30 months BEFORE the 30 June 2021 registration date (meaning I will have to stay in the property on or before 1 January 2019).

30-month stay requirement

MOE recognises that some families are unable to remain at the address used for registration for the entire duration of the child's primary school studies. Even so, a child who gains priority admission through their distance category is required to reside at the address used for registration for at least 30 months from the start of the P1 Registration Exercise on 30 June 2021.

From MOE website. It’s 30 months from 30 June 2021.
This is not a requirement if no balloting is needed

The 30m-stay requirement is after, not before.

The rationale is probably for the child to fully benefit from the short travel distance to the school during his/her younger years. It doesn’t make sense to “reward” families who may have been living near the school for many years but move away immediately after getting into the school.

Hi


I will like to use my mom’s address to register in 2C. MOE website states the kid must be cared for by the grandparents . But in this case doesn’t have to stay there (as in don’t have to stay overnight )? Coz we will still fetch her in the evening .

Also if the submission to use my mom’s address to register is successful , does it mean later on I can’t use my own residential address to register ? Coz we are not firmed up on which school to enrol for her . Still need to see how many vacancies left after 2B
But the declaration to use caregiver address we will like to submit earlier for approval first as I understand it may take some time . Or we can choose either caregiver or my own address during registration ?

Thank you in advance !

You can get most of your answer from here:

Also in the same phase, rather than toying with which address to use, decide first then enrol.
For Marymount, 2C, keep it simple, use your own address as highly unlikely will go into ballot for SCs.

Marymount

(phase 2C, open to public)

for SC children (kids) > 2 km,
should be safe, no need to ballot

You can just do up a statutory declaration first. In the actual registration you can use either one (if use own address, apply in P1-IS, if use mom's address, use the online form).
