Remarks:
  1. If parents cannot present the “2026/27 RC” to the KG their child has been admitted to during the “centralised registration dates”, the KG concerned may not be able to complete the registration for their child. Hence, parents are required to submit an application to the EDB within the designated period.
  2. For parents who submit the application form, please bring the $40 registration fee and the below information:
    A completed application form, one child’s recent photos of passport-photo size, photocopy of the child’s birth certificate and immunization record, four envelopes with own address and stamps, pay attention to letter weight and postage increase.
  3. If an applicant is admitted after the Centralised Registration Dates, he/she is still required to submit the RC/AP for registration. If an applicant wishes to change school after registering with a KG, he/she is required to get back the RC/AP from the KG with which he/she has registered. Upon getting back the RC/AP from a KG, the KG concerned will no longer reserve the place for the applicant. Normally, the registration fee paid to the KG with which the applicant has registered will not be refunded.
