Using Relative's Address & Statutory Declaration

[nat_mom]

Hi there


As my girl stays with my parents in AMK, I would need to register her in a sch there. Thinking of going Anderson..do i have to make the declaration before registration or i could do it anytime before 12 Aug?

As my parents stays within 1-2km, i would still be able to join those parents within 1-2km for balloting, right?

Really hope that i could get my girl a place there.

Thks

Declaration starts from 30 June to 12 Aug, but you cannot register unless you have already declared. Phase 2C starts 29 July. So do it earlier.

Yes, you would be balloting with parents of children within 1-2km.

Under MOE website, it states that children fostered out by grandparents can use grandparents address to register for the school. But you need to make statutory declaration and you are given lower priority compared to the 1km people.


My question is, what if my whole family moves into my parents flat? We are not fostering the child out, but are truly staying in my parents’ address. Is this reason accepted by the school? Anyone tried this before?

Basically,the school will recognize the address that is stated on yours and your husband’s I/C during the time of registration. That address will be used to measure the proximity to the school if there is a need to ballot. You just have to ensure that you are truly living at your parents’ place and that if you do move out eventually, you should inform the school of the change in address.

If grandparents' home is less than 1km from school, it will be counted as 1-2km instead. Other than that, MOE will use the actual distance.

It doesn't matter how many greats you attach to the title - as long as you are not making your granny work in MacDonalds or something to earn her keep :shock: , you can always register her as a \"foster parent\" and use her address for the registration.
