Very ironical that a child living beyond 2 km or further get a place in the school under phase 2A and a child living within a km doesn't under phase 2B/C.

Regarding the priority given to those staying within 1 km under Phase 2B/C...a friend told me priority is now given to those staying out of 2km for Phase 2B (those doing PV). :? Friend's son is registering for P1 this year and staying within 1km of school. Thought she would enjoy high chance of getting her son in (Pei Hwa).

No. Priority is still the same. Less than 1km followed by 1-2km.

currently the balance after phase 2A is equally distributed bet phase 2B and 2C. No limit to the places allocated under phase 2A, so all in phase 2A effectively guaranteed places. And for some popular school, more than 70% of places could already been taken up at phase 2A, leaving limited places for 2B/C. Was thinking if there are also limit to 2A, then those living within 1km under 2B/C will be more guaranteed of places. Currently under the arrangement, P2A is not subjected to home-school proximity as in effect they can fill up to 100%.

If i sign a tenancy agreement and will stay at rental place before school starts next year but not BEFORE registration, can I just bring tenancy agreemtn for registration? will the school accept it?

How, then, can you change the address in your NRIC to reflect the tenanted place if you don't move in before registration? :scratchhead:

Thanks, I am aware that the school will follow the IC address. However, I read briefly ( not sure where in the forum) that some parents have seen other parents at the registration armed with OTP agreements or sales purchases to prove their 'future' address, so I was wondering if it also applies to tenancy agreements.

If i understand correctly from what I read a few pages before in this thread, for purchased properties, if it's not ready for moving in / have not TOP.. the sales agreement would suffice,even if IC address not changed yet.

anyone done this or seen it done, thanks

I think the agreement part only refers to UNcompleted properties, and in fact the TOP of such properties must be within a certain time range (ie not 5 years down the road kind of thing).

[verykiasu2010]

Rental Agreement means the property has been completed for occupation.


Nobody rents an incomplete property as nobody can be sure how it will be like upon completion or the certainty of completion date /move-in date.

hence rental agreement to move in in the future is treated as a sham unless the NRIC is updated with the same address. and of course there will be dire consequences if this found to be fake

I see, thanks for all the replies. Our family is away at an overseas posting till abt june.. was thinking of renting a place when we come back anyway as own house is being tenanted till next year.


so not sure if I will be in time to rent AND shift in before registration starts.. cutting it really close if so.. hmm.. will have to think of other options then..

Thanks again to everyone for sharing your knowledge :celebrate:

it seems like rental place is only temporary and own house is waiting for tenancy to run out. if you intend to move back to own house, then obviously you can't use the temp rental agreement....unless you stay in it for the next few years while the own house is continuously tenanted (assumed is private property, for HDB you MUST live in it)
