[quote=\"Mrs Ang\"]Heehee....maybe too early to worry now as DD is only 14 mth old now :oops:

Not too early, not too early. Some members are searching information on schools for their unborn child.

may be some researched the primary school attended by their partners before they are married to ensure primary school priority registration when they have their kids[/quote] :rotflmao:

But seriously, I tried to disturb my ds. I told him in jest that next time he should find a gf who comes from a good primary school so that his dd got good sch to go to. The next thing I knew, he went to take the psle school booklet and started flipping and looking at gal's schools!! :faint:

Hi qms,


i tried onemap. It shows within 1km. I would like to know whether the school will consider it as within 1km or within 1-2km if i apply in phase2c. Else irrespective of the distance it will go for ballot if the no: of applns exceeds the vaccancies in phase 2c?

If onemap says you are within 1 km, you are within 1 km.

Did you use the School Query function, or did you try to measure the distance between your house and the school?

I tried school query function. It results in within 1km.

safer to check based on block number than base on estate name, as part of an estate could be out of the 1km zone

I check the distance between my place to the school. From my place, it states 0.64km; from the school, it’s 1.25km. Which one I should look at?
