hi you can use this as a guide

from what i have seen, you may be just at the borderline or just beyond 2km. So best is that you check with the official source, which is either SLA http://www.inlis.gov.sg/Layout/HomePage.aspx and / or the school.

If you have made this statement after checking with the school or using the SLA's e-service, then I guess there is nothing you can do about it. Otherwise, you may wish to check with one of the above official source as 'surprises' may occur sometimes. I would prefer SLA over the school as not sure how the school determine the borderline cases.

aaadaddy is right.


pq050603 do check with the official sources. The map is only a guide.

cornucopia:

MOE takes serious action to those who use false address. Do take own children in consideration as children may be out of school should they make random checks.


This is to protect those who are really living in that area of <1km. Not many have financial ability to rent units just to use address for P1 registration. It will take away a place for children who geniunely live near school.

Thanks!

i also just come to know of a fren who actually use her parents address (where she dun even stay there) and get her child into xxx school.

i think many people is doing this, and its true MOE dun know.

Hi doggylittle!

Your friend might have got in through the caregiver route. He/she needs to make a statutory declaration. In addition, you need to add another 1 km to the original category the child is in.

Why not? For parents who have toyed abt the idea of whistle blowing, what is the reasons for holding back (ie. whether MOE have proper procedures in place to protect whistle blowers, asian mentality?)
