Hi, I’d rented a place within 1km from the schools I’d be applying. Does both parents need to change address on our nric or only 1 is necessary? My husband prefers not to change address as he sometimes stays with his father at our old residence.

Thanks for the info. At least it’s something that we can consider.

So you mean we need to stay at least 30mths and can be anytime before registration? Whether it’s owned or rented premise?

If I have 30 months to registration I'd have got my Hubby to join alumni right?

Well as discussed, there’s nothing we can do now except to wait and see. Even renting a place there’s a cut off date? Pei Hwa a SAP school? I thought it’s just a neighborhood school like Bukit Timah.

Thanks for all the replies. Only now then I realized how complex our local p school system is. Feel so bad for my boy our oversight. Should have checked this out earlier. But my understanding is phase 2b is only for grassroots, pv...can old boys qualify?


Looks like worse case for him would be either Pei Hwa primary or Bukit Timah primary. We r within 2km zone.

Oh dear my boy will going for registration next year for 2018 intake. My husband is ex Acsp but not alumni and we’re living >2km away. If we fail in getting him a placement in phase 2A2 next year will we still qualify for phase 2b and 2c. I really have no idea how this system works as we’ve been living abroad for many years.
