Hi! My boy will also be attending MSHS. 4 more days to go, feeling nervous & excited for him. BTW, does anyone know how’s the traffic situation along Braddel going to MSHS in the mornings? How are you all going to MSHS the first two days? Via the circle line? Because I understand the school doesn’t have any space for parking & surrounding area parking also limited. Trying to plan timing,etc. TIA

If you are driving, try to go early before 6:45am cos the traffic is bad. Yes, MSHS got limited parking space.

Morning traffic is bad, afternoon pick-up is worst. For the first few days, suggest you send your kids to school earlier.

Hi,


Did anyone arrange for bus driver to provide transport back to Toa Payoh? Wanted to get some feedbacks. Yesterday, i waited for 1 hour for my boys to be back. Today 45 mins. I thought it’s kinda long journey given distance from Bartley to TP is rather short. Called up the bus operator earlier. Initially they blamed it on bad traffic jam. After that, they revealed it’s due to 4 kids which they had arrange to send to Serangoon Central first before going to TP. I personally felt this is not the right way. I thought the buses is only catered to specific locations.

My eldest boy fell sick yesterday. After the long journey, he dozed off in the bus. Coupled with the coldness in the bus, he ran into fever soon after he reached home, complaining of neck pain. It’s common for kids to be sick… but i tot it’s not common it took 1 hour for the driver to reach TP.

Regards,

The bus driver advised that they leave school 15 min after dismissal time & takes another 20 min to reach my place in TP. So on Monday (dismissal at 1.45pm), my son reached around 2.15pm. Today (dismissal time at 1.15pm) about 1.50pm. When you said waited for 1 hour, it is from the time of dismissal or you waited for 1 hour from the expected time of arrival?

How's everyone after the first 2 days of staying with your child in school?


I think the parents were more excited and anxious than the children.

Mummies, how did you all fare today? Cannot go the classrooms anymore from today.


I cried when I had to let go of him as he walked up the stairs to the classroom. Letting go is so hard … Good thing I was alone at the basketball court after that cos my tears just kept flowing. I just couldn’t control my tears… ooh letting go is so hard …

On Monday, the boys reached TP Lorong 2 at 250pm. Tues, they reached 210pm. I have taken 15 to 20 mins consideration for boarding bus after school. It could be earlier if the driver didn’t go to Serangoon Central.

Actually, y'day I checked with my son too if the school bus goes along Braddell then to TP after turning out of the school. From the way he describes it - he used his finger & drew on the floor, about turning out of school his finger went straight & then had to make a U-turn & then out to Braddell Road then to TP, I figured that it is going in & out of Serangoon that the U-turn came about. I am surprised at bus no. 21 making way to Serangoon Central as surely there must be many more boys staying in Serangoon Central & probably another bus then why put these 4 boys on the TP route bus?

Hi Honey,


First day i spoke to the driver. He didn’t mention anything abt gging to Serangoon Central. Yesterday i spoke to the lady co-ordinator. Initially, she didn’t reveal the Serangoon Central route. It’s after much talking that she finally admitted abt the Serangoon route. Seems that only 4 boys are residing around Serangoon Central area. I told her she could have put the boys on the route to Hougang/Kovan/Lorong Ah Soo. It makes more sense than to use the route going to TP. She was mentioning no one was complaining but she does felt apologetic. She did say she will try to rearrange on the 4 boys though I’m not sure if she will really mean her words. I will monitor the situation this week and probably call her this weekend if it doesn’t improves.

BTW, which part of TP your boy drops off?
