St Margaret’s Primary School (SMPS) has announced its planned temporary relocation from its current premises at Wilkie Road to the MacPherson area from 2020 to 2021.
The holding school will be on a site that is currently occupied by MacPherson Primary School, located some 4.5km away from SMPS and is 600m away from Mattar MRT station.
Upgrading works to equip the school with new facilities such as redesigned classrooms, a dance studio, a jogging path, and a sports hall were cited as reasons for the relocation.
To save you the stress from possible disruptions to your schedule or longer travelling time, or (god forbid) more expensive bus fares, we’ve compiled a list of rental condos located within a 1.5km radius from the current MacPherson Primary School.
Having just received its TOP in 4Q2017, the brand new Sims Urban Oasis is a mixed-use luxury development on Sims Drive. It is a family-friendly development, with more than 50 facilities, including two Olympic-length swimming pools. It is located 417m from Aljunied MRT Station.
