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?)

That's like sending a time bomb to school everyday hoping that other parent does not detonate it

Hi

I came across this site where you can use the map here to estimate whether your desired school is within 1km - 2km of your residence. If you are within the Blue circle, it means you are within 1km of the school, Red circle means 2km.

cheers!

Hi and welcome! This site was recommended before but like you said, if you are unsure, the best is to pay a bit to get the accurate info from SLA, which the schs will follow.

I have recently encountered an incident regarding home to school distance. As this particular school left a few vacancies. So I have to be very careful to make sure that my house distance falls within 1km for Phase 2 Supp. When I went to the school, the admin girl said my house falls within 1 to 2km. I was disappointed and shocked as my house is just a few blocks away. I managed to find out the statelite distance online and shown that it is still within 1km, even paid for inlis to check the distance! So when I called up the school again the girl still said it is still within 1 to 2km until I told her that I have REAL answer. Finally she checked again and then admit that the MOE's hardcopy is printed wrongly. Parents, please be careful when enrolling your child for this coming Friday, Phase 2C Supp, esp those falls within 1km. Wish me luck too.
