Hi qms, i did not sign any tenancy agreement with my relatives.

Izit necessary to have one if i m using the address to register?
No, their kids already grown up n they never use this address to register P1 in any year.
Thank you.

if you are staying there with your family and your nric reflects this address, i see no reason why you cant use this address to register nor is there a need for tenancy agreement.

but if you are not staying there but using this address to register, then it is definitely a \"NO NO\".

Hi, thanks to all who reply.

I had call MOE 3 time to confirm my eligibility to use the relative address.
As long as it’s a permanent residential address and we are physically staying there and our NRIC reflect that address, we can use it to register for P1.

Come back to my dilemma, Kong Hwa is a very good school but judging tat there is always balloting for 1km and I only have 1 chance, may not be wise to take the risk?

Geylang Methodist always ballot for 1-2km, and I am keen in this school bcos there is affiliated Sec school and JC.
But it’s a Christianity school while my family is not christian, do I need to concern abt this part?

Tanjong Katong never ballot for 1-2km, so it’s more or less guarantee seat if I choose this school.
After all this is a good school also right?

Would appreciate any advice, thanks in advance.

Both (khs & gms) u will go through balloting and 1 chance. Personally feel that u stand better chance within 1km. If u are not the type to take risk, then try Tanjong Katong. Give it a try unless u find Tanjong Katong is a school that u do not want to miss it.

Haig Girls and Canossa Convent seem low intake this yr.

Is Canossa Convent a girl’s school or mixed?

[phtthp]

Canossa Convent is all girls’ school.


to me, the girls there are decent, pleasant, gentle looking, studious in studies, not ‘hiao pou’ type.

last time when i explored the school premises - i met one grandma, waiting to fetch her daughter home. Curious, i asked this grandma how she find the school ? The grandma replied ‘Oh! it’s good.’ She said their family Catholic. Her daughter studied in Canossa Convent before, many yrs ago. After PSLE she went to CHIJ St. Nicholas. That’s why the mom (alumni) now sent her daughter in here to study, to follow her footsteps.
