Do you know is it too late for me to change address nearer to Nan Hua? any idea what is the quaifying period of this address for P1 registration?

It's not too late to change the address in your NRIC now. I thought you said moving house is out of the question? :scratchhead:

Like what RRMummy said in the other thread, if you decide to change the address in your NRIC, just make sure you will be physically staying in that address or the consequence will be dire.

hi qms,

As have replied in the other thread, I think I did not
make myself clear. I fully aware and understand
the consequences of the changing address and
not staying there. I meant to say to move and
stay in a house nearer to the school and thus the
new address.

Yes, I did say that before, as I do not like go into
mad rush of changing address, moving house etc.
It was when I told my sister abt it that she too
suggested me to do that..haizz

btw. I have a question regarding balloting, not
sure is this thread to ask:

i am likely to register another school under P2A,
then monitor for Nan Hua under P2B. At what
point of time and day should I be making decision
and action of withdrawing from P2A for P2B?
I am curious what and how is the process / procedure
is like under P2B, how do we know there is a
need to ballot or not?

many thanks

Glad that you are aware of the rules.

Parents usually make the decision on the last day of the P2B registration. One parent goes to School A for the withdrawal. It is only after the child's application with School A is withdrawn will application with School B be accepted. The parent in School B holds the original documents because you don't need the originals to withdraw.

Call the school constantly to check which group balloting will be carried out for.

Hi qms,

Thanks qms.
What do we need to produce for the withdrawal besides the withdrawal letter?
Is there withdrawal letter given by school A or we have to draft own
withdrawal letter? In the case that we have to produce self prepared letter,
what should be mentioned in the letter? Is there any sample draft for reference?
Is it correct that we can authorise relatives to settle the withdrawal from school A?

regards

[hot]

btw. is the withdrawal from school A and application

for school B all done on the same day,
ie. the last day of phase 2B for me?
Any idea how much time require to settle the withdrawal to the point of application in school B. EG. if closing for application school B is 5pm. How much time should I allow for the withdrawal and application take place?

If you are authorising relatives to withdraw on your behalf, you need the authorisation letter. You don't need any original documents to withdraw from School A.

Yes, withdrawal from School A and application with School B can take place on the same day. Hence, monitor the situation till the last day of P2B before you decide.

If there is no queue, the withdrawal process should not take more than 5 minutes.

Registration typically ends at 4.30 pm. To be on the safe side, you may want to station two adults at the two schools. The adult in School A handles the withdrawal, calls the adult handling the registration in School B. Once the withdrawal is done, the adult in School B immediately makes the application.

Hi qms,

I am fully understand the procedure now. Million thanks.
Regarding the withdrawal letter, is it to be
self-drafted by us or given by school A?

Sorry, can't comment on this because I have never been through the withdrawal process. However, my take is that a form would be provided by the school. Imagine if there are different formats for different applicants (because they are self-drafted?), wouldn't it be troublesome for the schools/MOE?

Hihi qms,


No worries. As I will be going for the open house
of school A, I will check with them by then.
I guess as much that school should have their
own withdrawal form too.

Now think about registration also got nervous, cold feet,
wonder can I go thru the real thing or not.
