Hello! I have a question and would like to get your expert's advise.

We are staying within 1km of NYPS. We will try for phase 2C for my daughter. But in the event, that we did not get balloted in for phase 2C. I have been thinking to use her grandparent's place in Sembawang to apply for phase 2CS for school in Sembawang. Then she will stay at Sembawang and taken care of by grandparents.

My question is: can I submit the declaration of grandparents address as a standby for 2CS first? Is there an issue if she gets into NYPS and MOE will think she is at Sembawang due to the declaration?

TX!

During P1 registration, NYPS will ask for both you and your spouse IC. Both address must tally, and make sure must be less than 1 km from NYPS, at the point of registration (NYPS), because Phase 2C (NYPS) will ballot for SCs residing less than 1 km.

If u show them an address that exceeded 1 km, at the point of registration in 2C, NYPS won't entertain.

If still in doubt, can u call up NYPS school admin directly, clarify first, before even start registering kid for Phase 2C P1 registration?

If talk about changing address in phase 2C Supplementary, wait for 2C to end first.

I think her question is when should she submit a notification to use her parent’s address. I’m not sure how to, as I went to MOE’s website and they said something about a "declaration of alternative child-care arrangement" but there are no links to it.

Yes, my question is if we use Grandparent's address to register for Sembawang schools in Phase 2CS, when should I make the declaration of alternative child-care arrangement https://www.moe.gov.sg/primary/p1-registration/home-address?toggle-id=using-a-caregivers-address. There is also a deadline for making declaration, which is 29 July and we will be very late if we only do it after knowing results of Phase 2C on 10 August.

Also, we saw this 3 bullet points in the declaration, and point #2 says: child must be residing in that address now to declare. So we are not sure if we can make this declaration first and standby. Meanwhile, we register with our home address for NYPS in 2C, and pray for the best.

Perhaps you can check with MOE if you can do the declaration for 2Cs after 29 July.

BTW, if you are looking at sembawang area for 2Cs, most likely, it will be left with 2 schools and may not need ballot in that phase. On the safe side, you can enquire on how you can use the caregiver address for 2Cs.

On Sembawang area, in year 2020 and 2021, there are only 2 schools offering places in Phase 2C(S) with details as below:


1. Endeavour - phase 2C(S)
In year 2021 : places available: 86, applied : 65
In year 2020 : places available: 64, applied : 67 and balloting required for PR<1km

2. Northoaks - phase 2C(S)
In year 2021 : places available 123, applied : 17
In year 2020 : places available 173, applied : 22

Sembawang primary was able to offering places in phase 2C(S) only before year 2020. In year 2019, balloting required for Singaporeans > 2km in phase 2C(S).

Thank you so much! I will contact MOE to get their clarifications. Will circle back here to this thread.

Hi, can I check if it’s possible to register for a school in Phase 2B using caregiver’s address, and in Phase 2C using own address? I’m a bit of a fix because the school I volunteered at could face a ballot situation in 2B, and if I do not get, my second choice school is actually 1km from my own place.


Any one knows? TIA!

I don't see why not, as I'm sure plenty of other parents have faced similar problems. Maybe some who has been through the same situation can comment?

I think we need to register using NRIC address

To change address, you need to do it online with Singpass and wait for the address label to be mailed to the new address. It takes about 1-2weeks.
Will there be sufficient time in between phase 2B and phase 2C to “change your address” ?
I understand the phases start almost 1-2 days after the previous phase ends.

I think they are talking about using the parents' home address, not the address on the NRIC.
