Catholic High (Primary)

[mummy so kiasu]

We are staying in Sengkang. My hubby drives our Sec 1 boy to CHS at 7am every morning. He has to come home by himself & the traveling time is 40 min. We will not pick CHS even it is a good school, if he is only in P1.


Our son is now big enough to travel by himself & takes care of himself. He also requires less hours of sleep comparing to the lower primary kids. Having enough sleep is very important so that they could concentrate in class.

actually i had done some online computation on the journey, hmm..with mrt and bus it takes about 30+ mins. The only worry is about the student care services. who to take care of DS after school. Am curious, if there student care in the school, if no, how you all settle your child if you are at work?

We use student care centres. Get the school bus to send kid to the designated student care centre. The teacher at the centre will \"pick up\" the kid from the agreed meeting point and take the kid to the centre. Then they will get the kids to eat lunch, do homework etc. All you need to do is pick him up before 7pm, give him dinner and relax. No need to coach on daily homework any more so you can spend quality time with kid.

Best for you to get a centre nearer your home then you won't need to go to Bishan to pick your son then go back home to Buangkok every evening. It's out of the way.

I pm you the name of a student care centre in Buangkok that is not bad.

Hi


May I know if there is any existing school bus that plys between CHS and either Kovan or Tanjong Katong area? Any idea what is the bus pick up and drop off time for either location?

Asking bec we are most likely going to send my boy for p1 at chs in 2015, and thinking that we should probably start adjusting his sleeping and wake up time early next year in preparation for the changes in body clock timing. Sorry I know it’s rather kiasu to plan so far ahead… but he’s currently sleeping and waking rather late… hence we probably need some time and discipline (ourselves too) to adjust the family’s timing…

If you joined the alumni group, make sure all membership fees are paid and updated etc. Then you'll be eligible for Phase 2A1. Bring your membership proof.

If not in the alumni club but just studied there before, then eligible for Phase 2A2. Just bring old report book as proof.

BTW, many pple are lobbying the MOE to remove Phase 2A (go read the Recess thread - Opinions of P1 Reg). You guys better pray the MOE doesn't announce anything drastic this May. Last year, they also announced the \"Singaporeans priority over PR\" news in May.
