im planning to get a place for my kids w/i 1km of the school of choice this year.


wch of the following schools stands a higher chance to get in w/o balloting.

- Henry park pri
- scgs
- mgs
- fairfield methodist
- nanyang primary

thanks.

within 1km without balloting ? very unlikely, extreme slim chance for scgs / fairfield

Hi,


My dad is staying within 1KM from the sch of my choice & I’m within 1-2KM. I was thinking of changing to my dad’s address & then stay with him when my boy goes to P1 as it will be more convenient. If I were to change my address now before the registration in July, will the Sch query?

No, school will not query

Thanks for your reply. As we may stay for few nights a wk & rest of the week may be at our own property, will it be an issue?

I am plaaning to sell my HDB flat but I want to use the address to register my child for a nearby primary school which is less than 1km. Is the Option to purchase, first appointment or second appointment use to decide my official address? I would suspect that it is the second appointment as that is when ownership of flat is changed. So I need to ensure that the second appointment is after July 12 in order to use my current address?

How far is the new home from the school that you will be applying?

Do you know that you are not supposed to use your current address for P1 registration since you are selling it away?

But I will be renting near the school as well after my sale. Current place and rental place are all within 1 km of school.

The rented place is just a temporary abode. The most crucial address is your new address as it will be the permanent one, unless you are saying that you will continue to stay at the rented place even after getting your new home.

If you plan to stay at the rented place for the six years of your child's education, you should be using your rented apartment's address.

You should not use your current address.

You should not use your current address.

If the new owner is also using the address to register at the same school, you are the one who will be in trouble because that address is no longer yours.

Even if he is not registering for p1, he won't be happy too. To him, if you can lie to the school, who knows what else you would be up too. Loan sharks? So he might make a report against you.

Use your own address, be it rented or bought.

Hi,


I’ve sell my current flat in yishun but is still in OTP, and i have brought a flat in tampines (falls less than 1km within SHPS and Poi Ching), again is in OTP. Gonna do contra for these flat.

Side story, My parent address also falls within less than 1km for both schools.

My Qns is, can we register our address under "gonna be" our tampines home?

I hope i do not wish to do the SD under my parents address as they fall within 1-2km even thou is less than 1km.
