If grandparents' home is less than 1km from school, it will be counted as 1-2km instead. Other than that, MOE will use the actual distance.

It doesn't matter how many greats you attach to the title - as long as you are not making your granny work in MacDonalds or something to earn her keep :shock: , you can always register her as a \"foster parent\" and use her address for the registration.

Just to highlight a point, if you are using the grandparents' address, u will be classified under 1-2 km even if the address is < 1km. So no point for those schools balloting < 1km...

Sorry... somehow missed this post. Phase 2C Supplementary is also subject to the distance rule, so, yes, you need to do the grandparent's declaration to benefit from the 1-2km ruling. Also, what luanee highlighted is important - grandparents' address is only useful if you are more than 2km from the school.
