Hi, can anybody advise me ?

My hubby wanted my DS to study in his alma mater but I find the school is too far >6km. I do not want my son to spend a long time travelling on the road (most prob school bus). We are staying <1km St Hildas and 1-2km Gong Shang Pri. I find both schools are good. However knowing from past yr results that balloting is required for SH and GS for distance <1km, I am in a dilemma on what to do. Does anybody’s child has to travel far for school and finds that it is manageable?
Thanks!
