All About Getting Priority Registration

1) To try to apply Aitong Sch ( SHK member but >2km)
2) To apply for FUCHUn Pri ( iM Old girl)
3) tO use MIL'S add to apply for Paya Lebar Methodist Girls ( <1km )

Shd i take a bet by trying for Aitong(2B) then PLMG (2C) then fuchun (2C)?

i have 2 girls and a son baby ( headache planning)
Thanks for kind advise; this seems like a heavy bet

Just go to Fuchun at Phase 2A2 (guaranteed). You got no chance to enter Ai Tong at >2km. Balloting is tough even if within 1km. And you need to be an active SHHK member for at least 4 years before they will give you the letter to try at Ai Tong.

PLMGS you may have a chance as so far, balloting at Phase 2C is for those within 1-2km (which is what your MIL's add will get you). But it's still not a safe bet.

And Fuchun has no more spots at Phase 2C Supp (supposing PLMGS not successful). You may end up nowhere.

that is why I thot she should not be in fuchun under 2C, wasted opportunity

she has zero chance for ai tong

Does anyone know if there's any priority for grassroots over PV parents in P2B? Or both have same priority? (assuming both are citizens and stay with 1km of the school)


Thanks! :please:

Please note that, should you apply via the caregiver route, your child will be under the 1-2 km category even if your MIL stays next to the school.

do you really stay there ? if your other place is HDB, can you change your IC address away from it ?

My fren managed to change her IC to her mom’s address while owning a flat of her own, but must have special permission from HDB. You must write in to HDB and get their clearance letter / email. Then present that to the neighbourhood police post.

As for PV vs Grassroots, both equal opportunity at Phase 2B BUT if both fail at the ballots, PVs stand a higher chance in the the waiting list (appeal) than grassroots or clan members coz they directly served the school.

Changing address for the purpose of P1 registration. I think the MOE should look into this matter. It is not logical at all. Imagaine the actual place of stay is in the west but just because of the branded school (top ten) in the east they can crazily spending hours traveling and troubling themselves to seek relevant authority to change the address. I am very sorry for the little boy that I know.
