Take some time to read through the thread 'all about home addresses'! You'll probably find your answers.Hi ppl,
I've just sold my flat, will they allow me to use my my rental address for registration? I've not purchased my next property yet, so tentatively \"address-less\". Anyone can advise on this?

Recently on Today’s Online - Voice, several articles on alumni system being unfair when it comes to Primary School Registration…any view? I personally feel its unfair…alumni system should be abolished to allow greater clarity…is there already a thread about this? Please move me there…

Interesting side effect of the new rules, there are now schools which will have no PR pupils other than siblings and which are unlikely to have any in the future, and schools where PR kids will now be concentrated.

Actually, What is wrong about this alumni system that you feel is unfair? How would abolishing it allow more clarity?
At every stage of registration, there will be unhappy and happy parents. It is hard to satisfy everyone. -
If abolish alumni phase and go by distance for all other phases, then very soon popular schools like nyps, acs, scgs, rgsp etc will be schools for the rich only.
With alumni, at least kids from average or below income families still have a chance to get in.
What is distance if they can have a chance to study in these schools. -
Fully agree with the criteria in Phase 1. However why should \"guan xi\", connections with alumni, clans, churches be part of the criteria? Should proximity be the first priority so that the kid can go to school without the distance hassles? Nothing wrong with the current system if you have the any of the above associations but if you have neither a old school to fall back (cos old school closes down), no church, no clan, no PV with only distance proximity...
anyway its just my personal 2 cents....i am neither a happy nor unhappy parent at this stage..but am in the loop so that i know where i stand and whats my choices when my turn comes...

I suppose everyone will have different feelings depending on which side of the court they stand in.
My kids got into my primary school via 2A1. I thought it was great. It's that association with the school. Eg. kids singing the same school song, donning that uniform which hasn't change much, seeing teachers who were there during my time. Getting to know other parents who were from the school. As well as the pride we all have by being associated with the school. What's wrong with that? We share the joy together with our kids with their learning journey in the school. The key thing is that we feel for the school and I realised it goes beyond having it easy in P1 registration. -
Personally, I see nothng unfair about it ie the alumni.
One of my kids in SJIJ under 2A
and the other at St Nics under 2B
