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: -

1. The address in the NRIC must reflect your current \"permanent\" home address. It is a statutory requirement, and has nothing to do with MoE.
2. The school will use the address stated in your NRIC as a basis for priority registration based on distance to the school. It is assumed that the child is staying with you at that address. Nothing stops you from making other arrangements subsequent to reqistration - neither the school nor MOE has resources to check on each and every student for compliance... just don't get famous. -
Thks, Chief Kiasu !
So technically, the home-sch distance is based on IC address at pt of registration & IC should reflect \"permanent\" home address. -
My mum is staying within walking distance to Fairfield Methodist. What if I change my IC address to my mum’s place…will that solve the prob in my son getting a place in the school ?
2) Also, If we change our address at police post, do we need to produce any bills or anything ?
3) Can I change back the IC address after my child starts P1 ?
4) Does my hubby have to change his IC also ? -

NRO has tightened its rules regardind address changing since June 2008. You will need to produce phone/utilities bills that reflect your current address. That is to confirm that you are staying with your mum.My mum is staying within walking distance to Fairfield Methodist.

Your registration priority is considered to be 1-2km even if your mum is staying right next to the school.
Only 1 NRIC is required. -

Fairfield Methodist had come to a saturation point where at Phase 2C only 1 Km would conduct balloting.So in summary if you are beyond 1Km from Fairfield Methodist, it would be wise to target other primary school. -
OHH My mum place within walking dist lah…then does it mean that if within 1 km …sure can get in ??
How popular is Fairfield ?
Also, when Phase 2c is carried out,is there a timing where what time the parents must be in the school… -
even though your parents are staying within 1km, you are not allowed to register under Phase 2C within 1km, your application will fall on Phase 2C within 1-2km for registering under Grandparent’s Address.

Wow very interesting to read. Hope I’m not too late in discovering the dos and don’ts regarding Pri1 registration. Will be registering my boy next yr in 2009 to start Pri1 in 2010.
Have submitted my application to join HPPS alumni in Apr 08, to date have not heard from them even after 2 follow-up emails. Only comfort I have is that my cheque for membership fees was cleared.
Cant imagine being thrown into turmoil if my alumni membership is not processed and my son will need to go for balloting as we are outside of 1km from HPPS.
