qms:

Which map are you referring to?


Schools only use One Map (http://www.onemap.sg/index.html). Use the School Query function in this map. It will show you schools that are within 1 km and 1-2 km from your address.

ya... my blk is not highlight red.... but my blk opposite same condo is highlighted red.

oh, then they are really strict on it. I am just a block away from hitting 1km and I even speak to the principal on it but she said they really have to follow the radius parameters..... :razz:

[happydaddy]

how do they know? they based on postal code? All the block in the condo using the same postal code leh.

[Kissgurami]

nuh, your postal code follows your block, hence they follow the 6 digit postal code. for example 530161


not sure if anyone else can advise, they do base on the onemap from what i am told

To be confirmed, u can always check with the school, they got record for individual block.

[Kissgurami]

hi hot,


I was in the same predicament last year - to move house or not...

Dear hquek,

Currently my boy goes to my parents’ house after childcare.
They are staying 2km away from my house.
However, I don’t intend to consider b4 and
after school care at their house cos they are sick,
do not want to add on bundle to them.
Plus, no way my boy will do his schoolwork at
my parents’ house… not the discipline kind.
Meaning, waste of precious time doing nothing,
then go back home struggle on schoolwork till late.
This is what I can foresee if I leave him to my parents.
Ideally, I hope I can send my boy to school in the morning,
then go to student care after that, ie. Single session.
At student care, he can finish his schoolwork with teachers
to coach him, plus friends to socialise.

There aren’t any schools near my house have single session.

[hquek]

hi hot,


Schools are working towards single session - I can’t recall when is the cutoff year but it will be happening (though probably not too soon for you). Understand the predicament. Anycase, there are BASC in the morning for those afternoon sessions.

[quote=\"happydaddy\"]Hi expert, if my area is slightly out of 1km, 1.02km based on postal code, am I eligible for phase 2c? What is the tolerance? They based on postal code? On the map, my blk 50% is within 1km..

zero tolerance

if there is balloting required for within 1 km, then you are out without the need to ballot

everyone who does not qualify for earlier phases like siblings and alumni and connected persons will fall under category 2C

But on the map is within 1km because the condo is sitting on a big area. 75% of the land hit within 1 km So the school base on postal code?[/quote]if that is the case, only those blocks within 1km will be in. the distance criteria is based on location of each house/block, not based on the whole condo compound.

you can go to the school to check - they have a list of INDIVIDUAL addresses within and / outside the 1km/2km mark
