Can do it as a sticky where a list of measuirng the distance from the school. I believed all school would able to provide you the distance of the house. -
i did checks with a few sources, eg. can.com.sg, elite.com.sg, and the distance between my home address and the school we were interested in was between 1 and 2km.
i wanted to confirm so i called up to school to ask. school came back with the answer that my house is 2km from the school.
I assume that falling on the 2km mark is still ok, considering that the categories are 1-2km, and 2km, and therefore we should still fall in the former. I checked with the school and the response came back that from the previous MOE advice 2km falls in the category >2km ...
:?
anybody has experience like that? I really need help here, as it is clear to me mathematically that 2km is definitely 1-2km, and not >2km. -

Since you have checked with the school which confirmed that you are 2km from the school, you can simply ask them if you will be considered as in the 2nd band (1-2km) or not. The school's answer is the definitive one. -

which is what i did, and the school advised that i am in the >2km category. am feeling very puzzled right now ... since i am on the 2km mark, shouldnt i be in the 1-2km category instead?ImMeeMee:

If I were to go purchase SLA distance and it is shown that it is between 1-2km, will the school accept this, or will they insist on their own measurement? -

The school's data comes from SLA, so it may be money wasted. But it's only a couple of bucks, so you can always try your luck.
