:!: :? I suggest you call the school directly. They have a list and will be able to tell you straight away which category you fall into once you give them your address.. at least when I called some schools, they could give me that info right away!

Yes, RRMummy is right. Call up the school immediately to ask instead of pondering over it yourself!

You should be measuring based linear distance to the school, and NOT the route to the school. Don't ask the map system to plot you a route from your home to the school. Just search for your home and ask for the list of Primary schools that are near you.

Use the govt reference.
Use the Singapore Land Authority website E-service, make E-payment $2.10 with credit card at SLA website.
Instantly, you will know if your property within 1KM or not, from the primary school that you choose.

Attached website link:

At SLA INLIS website, click \"Products\", then choose \"Property information\", then choose \"distance between Primary school & property\"..

hihi,


does anyone here know if my house there are two primary school within 1km. If I choose to apply the one (Rulang Primary School) that is further from my house, will the chance be lesser? The other one that is nearer to my house is just beside the house

As long as both schools are within the same distance bucket, ie. less than 1km, your priority advantage is the same regardless of which school you apply. Your chance of getting in, however, depends on how popular the school is in Phase 2C, assuming that is the Phase you are going for.

Just for yr information. WG will paste the whole class results outside the door for everyone to see .So it will be quite pressure for those kids who can’t do well in the beginning.( hear from current students). Of course there is good & bad sides.
