All About Measuring Home-School Distance

BigDevil:

You can't possibly draw a nice perfect 1km circle and cut a block of flat into half. So the entire Blk 534 is considered to be within 1km.


Any problem with that??

no problem with that but errh...if really strictly by radius...some may dispute unfair lor... :evil: :cheeky:

Hi all,


We always hear about within 1km and 1-2km criteria.

Now I have this question: Canberra primary school is within 1km from my house, but almost at the border of the 1km (around 900m), and Wellington primary school is just next to my block. So, will my kid’s chance of balloting to Canberra be reduced because my house is almost hitting the 1km, and some more there’s already another school nearer?

When the school does the balloting, does the actual distance influence the chance of balloting? For example, will those kids staying 100m from school actually have higher chance compared to those staying 900m from school? Or will Canberra primary even reject my registration of balloting with them since there’s another school nearer to my house?

Anyone has this experience to share?
Thanks.

At the moment, based on current rules, no different for both schools as the criteria is within 1km, then 1-2km and lastly >2km.

But whether MOE will change rules in near future that would be anybody's guess.

Question here…


For those schools at temporary holding place while the original school location is being upgraded, when it comes to distance, it is based on original sch location or the temp holding place
