thanks phtthp! this is so helpful.. i managed to get the answers i need from MOE customer service


1) Yes my new house is within 1km (i havent buy yet but haa now can really go get it)

2) MOE/School allows to use the new addy for registration, as long as u can proof the TOP will be within 2yrs from the kids start P1.
ie: my boy start P1 in 2013, so the TOP have to be by 31Dec2014.

according to MOE's website, (as stated above too)
MOE/School allows to use the new addy for registration, as long as u can proof the TOP will be within 2yrs from the kids start P1.
http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/faqs/#proximity
there is no restriction that if the place not TOP, it will be considered as more than 1km & less than 2km category.
unless this is the new ruling. :oops:

I need help. Will you register your 2 children, one in ACS and one in SCGS which is less than 1 km from your current house under 2C or will you register your children to co-ad GEP school in tampines under phase 2B but far outside 2C? I understand both need to go through balloting. Next, will you separate your children to different school or putting them together? What is the chances of getting in ACS and SCGS <1km under phase 2C? What to do with the given phase 2B? I am really stressed.

I always believe in \"getting into the earlier phase\" first if possible, unless distance is really a deterrent.

No one can predict this year's statistics for any of the schools, whether it be 2B phase or 2C phase. So, might as well register for 2B phase, go thru' ballot, and if you get it, then wait for 2C to see statistics before deciding if you want to give up the 2B seat to take another chance to ballot for 2C. If did not get for 2B, well just have to register for 2C.

The MOE ctm svr said, some schools are more rigid, hence it will be best to bring along the original copy to show them, some school reject photocopied.

What happen if Phase 2B and 2C are out? I studied the recent balloting results and it showed high risk for ACS, SCGS and SHP.

If both phase 2b and 2c are not successful, then you need to apply again for 2C supp. You will need to find another school as there won’t be any more seats left in your earlier school of choice.


If balloting is required at Phase 2C Supp, then the rules of proximity to the school apply again. If unsuccessful at Phase 2C Supp, the parents will have to apply again at Phase 3, which is open to everybody, including foreigners. Only upon failure at this phase will MOE assign the child a school.

So have a REASONABLE plan and strategy.
