ESF application address issue

Katherinee

We will move next year. But my current address is not in that zone. Which address should I use in the application form?

I think it's best you speak to your school principal and see what advice he or she has for you. Then call the individual primary school and see what advice they have for you. Because if you have the house deeds that should be evident enough to show you will be residing there in the future.

We will move to TKO next year, so for ESF application 2017/18 the catchment zone school will be CWBS ...

First thing, investigate into what can be a valid "proof of address".

They dont consider purchase agreement for property under construction as an address proof.
So I can only apply using my current address. But as they are in two different districts, i am not sure how to switch my application to CWBS even after we actually move in the new residence (which is expected to be end of this year)
Even if I can have a chance of interview, that will be from the ESF school in the zone of my current address

Abacus information session said you need
utility bills AND purchasing/or leasing contract for address proof

Yes, as we havent moved to the new residence yet, we dont hv the utility bill.
And the purchase contract alone cannot be sufficient proof.
I can only apply with my current address. The staff told me that once i get a place at any ESF school I can apply for internal transfer. But actually chance is thin to get admitted in the current zone as it is SJS.

If u already have the utility contract, why can't u apply the utility early?

Katherinee

U mean i hv the purchase contract?
As i havent moved in that place yet i cant apply for water or electricity bill i guess?

She said the property is still under construction.

Thanks for all the advice. I called the ESF office and they have advised me to use the current address as I cant provide address proof at the moment. But they say if i can get the documents by mid oct they can still transfer my application. Though i probably cant make it as i still havent got the keys to the new residence by now
