you should be safe if you are staying <1km from plmgps and registering under phase 2c.. but if you look at the school's balloting history, there are balloting conducted at <1km for phase 2c in year 2006 & 2007. as a ks parent, you may wish to have a backup plan in place(in case the unexpected happen).. or else PV in the school(almost guaranteed for <1km)

I have been taking this P1 registration very lightly until this year. I have never been bothered as I have been thinking to put my DS to the school which is just located next to where I lived. (seriously just only less than 200m away). But the situation has changed this year. The school is conducting balloting. I have never seen many children around my area beofre. Suddenly, there are many children applying for the school. My guess is parents are renting houses around the area. Is this legal? How long must they stay in that address before they can use them for registration?

My hub and I are thinking to put DS to our old schools. But situation changes again. There have been talks about change in Phase 2A process.(Thanks to our FTs and KS parents making noises in newspaper, to grassroots and to Minstry over this phase 2A.)
Isn’t P1 registration is such an easy process? Just bring the necessary documents and register your child!! Why is the situation becoming so complicated? My parents had never had such difficult situation. Why? because there were fewer FTs and the FTs around then were truly talented. They had the money to send their kids to international school.
Seeing the stressful situation my colleagues are going through this year heightens my anxiety. With more children registering next year and not to forget PRs (God, know how many of them). Adding on to my stress is the fact that my DS has no sibiling to qualify for Phase I. In this year, about 35% of the children got into the school during Phase1. While in popular schools, more than 50% of children gone to the school druing Phase1. I’m counting down 11 months before the start of 2013 in-take registration.

The regulation only states that you must use the address where you live in. It doesn't state how long you must stay in that address before you can use it for P1 registration.
