Thanks to all of the reply and clear my doubts.

Anyone knows if I get in the school because of the distance, but later if I have to move but still move to an address within the same distance range, is this allowed?

Thanks a lot. Yes in normal years it’s very safe. Only when 2018, balloting is required (11 out of 27, can’t find any distance related information). Maybe all those who didn’t get into Peichun went to try MCS during 2CS. Thus raised to my concern.

Thanks all for the suggestion.

Just not sure if Marymount as a backup for 2CS could be still risky. Normally it doesn’t require balloting but maybe because PCPS reduced intake, last year, 2cs took in 11 out of 27 applicants. But I don’t have the data with distance breakdown.

In general, schools with affiliated sec are even more competitive. Given we are at round 2c, just trying to either avoid balloting, or try to have a safer backup for 2cs if balloting is not successful. I don’t have much faith on anything needs to try luck.

But let me know if any school might have high chance.

Hi parents, hoping someone can help.

I’m planning to move for my girl’s primary school. She will fall into 2C. Currently thinking of two options:
1. Move near rgps. I have a few friends moved nearby <1km, and get in. But of course the housing is much more expensive. And I’m unsure if there is any backup school if anything goes wrong. Also, given that we don’t have a car, the place may be a bit inconvenient.
2. Move to tpy. Looking at peichun / Marymount. Looking for peichun <1km and Marymount 1-2km (very few blocks overlap for both within 1km). Personally I like the area much more. My original plan is to try PC for phase 2c and Marymount for 2c plus. But given Pei Chun has reduced the intake from 360-330-300; phase 2c <1km balloting chance is <50% as of 2018. Anyone knows if the intake will remain as 300 for the next two years? Also, Marymount 2C+ used to no need ballot but last year it also required balloting. Is my plan too risky?
One more qn is that I understand we need to stay at the registered place for 30month, but given it’s rented, if I have to move house but yet still move to within 1km of the school (or maybe I buy), will it have any issue?
Thanks in advance for the help.
