In the 2 schools that my kids register at, they have a thick bible file of road address and the km stated in it.


[quote=\"Krist Kong\"]Just curious how a school justify the distance of 1km?

LOL! Yes, so does my my DS's school.[/quote]They go by radius of 1 km i.e. centre of circle = the school, and anything within the area with radius 1 km is within 1 km. Hence there are cases which some blocks in the same condominium is less, while other blocks more than 1 km.

The official tool is
http://www.onemap.sg

Go to 'Services', select 'School Query',
click 'go', select 'find buildings around school',
then put in your postcode. The site will generate results and if you select the printer icon, you can see all the details.

Oops, should select 'find schools near buildings' to check what schools by distance are around your house.

hi,

it’s my boy’s turn to register next week. may I ask what are the chances of getting into HPPS in phase 2c for a SC living within 1km of the school? alternative schools after this distance would be Fairfield and New Town Pri.
thanks.

My husband was from Poi Ching when it was still in Toa payoh. It’s a good school. He did pretty well for his PSLE and went on to a good secondary school. Unfortunately the school shifted to Tampines which is very far for us. If we stay in the east definitely will consider sending my kids there!

nope. according to the onemap.sg thingy, we are in the 1-2km range.

We are staying opposite of hougang primary school and within 1km of Rosyth.. is it worth to try out Rosyth under 2C first and if we are not able to get a place, then we would try Hougang Primary School. Is it wise to do so?

If stay within 1km from HPPS and SC, I think HPPS may give you better chance. This year they reserved 20 seats and HPPS has 25 application last year for p2c vs Fairfield 66 application for 25 seats.
