I was very surprised when I saw this in onemap too. Some condos are \"cut\" in half. Very dangerous to be in the wrong block.

Yes indeed. Eg. my friend's block in SeaView condo in Marine Parade is just outside the 1km mark for Taonan. So next time before you select your block, you need to use OneMap to determine distance first!

Imagine we view the flat and tell the owner \"i dont want your block, i want the block beside you\".

don't even give you any chance to ballot at Phase 2B or 2C

Meadows @ Pierce has the same issue with one of its block, falling just outside 1km for SNGS :rotflmao:

Hi, would like to check are the "Document Required" during registration refer to photocopy of document or the original document? Thanks…

[MommyK]

You need to bring both originals and photocopies

[zac's mum]

I heard some schools charge u an exhorbitant price for making photocopies for u. So if u don’t wish to be fleeced, just bring your own.

Center of school to center of block. In highschool, we learn that distance between two bodies is the distance between their centers. Example, If the gate of school is 1 km from your lift, but centers are 1km 5 meters apart, I am sorry for you.

Use onemap.sg

for certain condo/hdb blocks, they could fall under the 1km radius to the school...even within the same estate, the inner blocks may be out of 1km. so if suay suay staying out of 1km, then your child would have to ballot if need arises.
i still remember this because back then during son's registration, some of his kindergarten classmates were staying in same condo...1 got in under 1km but there was another one who had to ballot because the block was out of 1km range.

You are right. As I said, it is center of block, not center of condo or estate. So every building/block is calculated individually. If it is landed, individual units r calculated.

:yikes: year in year out my school will station 1-2 teachers there to help collect original copies to office to copy. None of the parents seem to know the need to photocopy.
