Hi Luanee, You would have better chance if you move within 1km of Henry Park since no balloting for within 1km this yr. I was rejected by NYPS for PV but still managed to get a place in Ph 2C w balloting, so, don't lose hope

Did u know this is the first year that HPPS has no balloting for <1km? And it actually informed parents of the balloting initially, 55 parents for 53 places. Then last minute they realised there were 2 pairs of twins/triplets (which count as one applicant actually) and scrapped the balloting!

As long as there is balloting, there would be a chance of not getting it. Of coz there are ppl who get in with balloting under slim chances, but I do not want to undego such stress. Don't think I am the lucky type also, lol.

Let's say I'm willing to consider any property within 1 km...I wonder if we can print a detailed map to list all properties within 1km of the school? :lol:


Else, the most accurate manner is to first have an address in mind and go pay SLA for the search of the distance....

cheaper way is just all the Pr Sch to check if property is within 1km.

Haahaa...thanks. But, I have no property in mind. So I thought I am going to be very open minded so as long the place is within 1km of the school...

At least going thru classified ads would be easier :shock:

VooVoo, note that some schools still need to ballot for <1km addresses. So best is to choose those that need not ballot for <1km traditionally. Which areas/schools are you looking at?

You can use this guide to check the distance http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/measuring-home-school-distance

For 2004-2008 registration, NYPS balloted under phase 2C for <1km except year 2007. Of course, the chances are rather high, but still the risk is there...

I'll be registering my kid to primary sch in year 2009, for 2010 enrolment. I'm currently staying in a private property within 1km to the primary school of choice.


However, I'm contemplating buying a resale HDB flat (a 2nd house) that is near to my in-laws (so tat my kid could stay with them after sch) but their location is almost 2km to the primary school of choice.

If I buy an HDB resale flat near my in-laws now, can I register my kid with my private property address (IC address showing my private property address as well) which is within 1km from the school ?

Does anyone know if it's a must to register with an address that I am currently staying ? Both addresses belong to me .... :roll:

Hi all ... Anyone has any idea if our IC must reflect the HDB address if we possess both HDB or private property ? Is it illegal to register Pri 1 enrolment with a private property address (nearer to sch) when we're physically staying at the HDB address ?

Hope that someone could help to shed some light.... :roll:
