I am an anxious parent looking to register into a primary school for my eldest daughter . As I have two daughters I hear from alot of people where I enroll my eldest daughter into will subsequently affect my second one. Hence, I would like to start off on a right note. I have trawled thru the pages in Kiasuparent and really these are good information to start off any clueless parents about the highly competitive primary school registration. I would like to confirm one point mentioned in one o fhte pages and can anyone assist to verify.
For the use of rental address within 1 km of the desired school for primary one registration, there is a minimum occupation period of the rental address from the time of registration and start of attending school . Another have even gone on to say that some schools require the rental address be maintained for the full 6 years of primary school that child is enrolled in. Is the practice applied by ALL primary one schools? Or specified by certain schools ? Can someone englighten as I certainly do not wish to run afoul with any rules and regulations. Thank you very much. -

the general rule is that the address used to register should be the address that the child will be staying at during the primary school days. There is no specific clause stating the max or min duration. As long as you are not renting an address to \"creatively workaround\" the rules, then you are safe.I am an anxious parent looking to register into a primary school for my eldest daughter .

I registered my child by renting a HDB flat that is less than 1 km. Stayed there for 2 years and paid $60k for 2 years rental for a 3 room flat. Cannot afford to buy the landed property near the school so rented the flat. As a very kaisu parent, $60k is still Well spent as there are a lot of advantage by staying nearby. Travelling time for yr child is very much reduced. You should stay in the rented flat in case they spot check. So far We have not been checked. You should choose a school that has as little high rise like condo and HDB less than 1 km from the school. Nanyang Primary is a good school that has only a handfull of high rise appartments and HDB flats. Most Within 1 km are the landed properties. Chances in phase 2C is still very high for less than 1km. Forget about 1-2km. As long as you stay there for 1.5 to 2 years, the school cannot penalize you. There Were 4 other families in that block that I knoW and they did not have any problem.I am an anxious parent looking to register into a primary school for my eldest daughter .

We are currently on an overseas posting and our current HDB flat in commonwealth is being tenanted out. Currently, we have not changed our individual NRIC address, i.e address is still being reflected as our parents place respectively. As such, it is possible to use our parents address for the registration? If yes, will it be the dads or the mums address?

Eligibility is strictly by the NRIC address. If you own it, change it back to reflect it. You may need to boot out the tenant......(the tenant could be using it for the Pri 1 registration - he rented it for that purpose, may be)i have a question, hope sm1 can help me cos i search ard the forum but cant find any topic on it.

and the NRIC should reflect the address that you are staying. But for your case a bit tricky since you are overseas. Are you planning to take back your flat to stay?vickvick:
