mlchia:Considering morning star charges $300 monthly, having school bus to take them home early same price?? Sounds so ex to meHi,
Just wonder if the bus fare from Upper Thomson to SGPS on one way trip $255 consider ex? My son is in P1 this year @ SIY class and goes to Morning Star after class.
but still, I dunno the standard rate also.
leejeslyn:I think as long as Morningstar have vacancy. Fromhi,
Can i check how long in advance we must register for our son if we were to enrol him in the morning star after school care?
What is the ratio like? ie. How many students will they accept?
My son got scouted at primary 1 to join CCA school team. School ends at 1:15pm. After which they will assemble at the hall, at the hall will have school bus line, parents pick up line and finally, morning star line. By the time he goes
For morning star, already 1:30pm, they start serving lunch. Then by the time he eats, dunno what time, and by the time 1:45pm, he’s considered late. So after a few times late in P1, he got kicked out of CCA school
Team and got put in recreational team. So in my opionion, CCA is not recommended in P1, until he is very used to looking at time and not be late.
This year only further than 2km need balloting right??
My son also will be in p1 next year! And in morning star.
thanks Nadya Eleanor! Yes, place already secured, orientation dates confirmed 
2nd child easy...
Estellica,
my boy also the hyper active sort. Don't worry. If really needs intervention, the teacher will tell you and refer to school counselor. They will give you like loads of questionnaires to fill to determine your family dynamics, relationships with ALL family members. and if no sign of behavioral problems caused by say impending divorce, or abusive parents, they will refer to say a doctor IF your boy needs medical intervention say for ADHD. So far, mine only needs monitoring.. after going thru 1 whole cycle. and it seems now that he is in the system a few years, he have learnt the correct behaviour expected of him. but granted he is more easily distracted etc etc...
I checked before my son went to primary 1 on 2011. And at that time, no schoolbus after morning star. Now, things could have changed. But from what I know, no schoolbus for after morning star.
Just got the phase 1 registration form last week:) exciting all over again
After school care is great for homes with 2 working parents. If you can manage your son’s timing, you can get him to do all his homework plus learn his weekly spelling and ting xie there. So when you go pick him, it’s all family time spent talking and playing games.
Good thing is the uncles and aunties there helping with school work.
Also, after school, they get picked by the centre from the hall to go to the after school care. They have shower, lunch, then activities( both indoor and outdoors) and they have LCs to do if no homework. At about 4 pm they got afternoon tea and I think outdoor games.
In my opinion, it’s better they go to after school care than plonk them at home with a maid. Cos I think if that’s the case, they’ll spend all time in front of the TV/computer. And by the time I get home, surely very tired cos have to deal with the homework and spellings etc. but if 1 parent doesn’t work, it’s better to stay home I think.
So far, I’m happy with the after school care. I’ll put my P1 there also next year.
Since your boy in P2 next year, maybe he have to take part in the promotional exercise? It’s on 14 Nov i think. Where they gather in the hall, then their Teachers will take them to the new class for 2013.
Which year is your boy in?
If P1 next year, you’ll get orientation where you get to buy books and uniform… If not, books are from Pacific and uniform from Shirley uniform at serangoon central. The exact contact you can get from the Contact Us from the St Gabriel’s Primary School website. Call before you make a trip down… Sometimes closed and sometimes no size.
What about shaw little league preschool programme??
