Hi Miracle child,


which phase are you in? 2B or 2C?

In 2B...but worried that cannot get in under that phase...so, was contemplating getting a place near SJIJ...but last night, decided not to do so...save money for other \"investments\" in my son is probably a better choice.

hi

instead of buying a place, an alternative is to rent a place, if getting into the school of your choice is that important and you don't want to consider other catholic primary schools.

I dun feel that is the right way to do lor. I mean, if a child genuine staying near to the school who wanted a place there, by renting a place (not actually staying there), you are ‘robbing’ him/her of a chance of getting a place.


sorry, just a thought cos I would be very angry if my boy can’t get a place there because other parents use other method to get in. unless I’m staying in the rented house lah.:!:

Miracle child,

when is your boy p1 registration?

[Luanee]

Maybe what ghostz meant was miracle-child can rent a place nearby and actually stay there. Then she can rent out her current place to cover the rental cost? Will save on kid’s travelling time too.

yah, we are also thinking of renting a place and rent out our current place. but very troublesome. firstly, have to find a tenant, then have to find a place nearby to stay. end up, we may have to do renovation.to think of it, headache man.

That's why I just sold my old house and bought a new one nearer the school. But I didnt use the new address since it is not near enuf to be within 1km and I was under 2B no balloting.

Hi, like to seek your good advice, currently my daughter of 5 year old is staying with my parent with my maid. It at bedok and only occupy by my parent. Since n1 and for the past 3 years. My kid been study at a near by kindergartner at bedok. My own place is at sengkang. I would like her to study at bedok for her primary school education.


I intend to rent out 2 rooms of my flat at sengkang and likely my wife will still stay there as her work place is at ang mo kio ave 5.

So can I change my address to my parent place and my wife remains as in sengkang. With both parent different address, can register for my kid’s primary school?


Thanks
