30-month stay requirement
A child who gains priority admission to a primary school through the Home-School Distance (HSD) category must reside at the address used for registration for at least 30 months from the start of the Primary 1 registration exercise.
If you’re moving to a new resale house or are waiting for an uncompleted development, you can register your new address in the primary 1 registration. If you’re moving to a resale property, you will need to undertake that you will move into your new home by the start of your child’s primary 1 academic year. If you’re moving to a new launch, you need to move into your property within two years of your child’s entry into primary 1.
One thing to note is that moving to a property nearer to your preferred school won’t guarantee your child’s place in the school. Factors like high demand and a limited number of vacancies might affect your child’s chances of getting into the school. For most schools, you will need to join as a parent volunteer if you have no prior connections to the school. However, being a parent volunteer is competitive and it also won’t guarantee your child’s place in the school.
