Simply key in your postal code and it will show you the nearest school within 1km.

hi niceguy,


about your given link. is it first circle within 1km and second circle 1-2km?

[niceguy_sg]

Dark green or the 1st circle is the 1km. The outer circle is the 2km range.

Many thanks to "niceguy" for the link.


When doing a search, do check against the school address again. The map does not seem to be up-to-date. E.g. Whitley Secondary moved to Bishan a couple of years ago, the website still show its location in Toa Payoh, and Catholic did not show up under "Primary School" search, possibly the map was done up before the primary school section moved in to Bishan.

That is an experimental site set up by the Microsoft Innovation Centre in Singapore. The more up to date sites are still: http://www.can.com.sg and http://www.streetdb.com

Hello;


You can try http://www.elite.com.sg

This is a very good site to check if your house is within 1 or 2 kilometers of primary school

Dear Parents,


I would like to share this convenient way of checking whether your address falls within the 1KM radius from a particular school:

BTW, can ChiefKiasu advise me on my son's chance of getting into SJI Junior during phase 2C this year, we stay within 1KM from the school.
