I'm staying at Woodlands. Dd is p2 this year. My girl enjoys school very much.as for traveling journey wise- we are kinda used to it. The traffic is normally smooth early morning . Dd is very happy studying there. The girls are quite well- behave as far as I know.

What time does your DD board the school bus in the morning?

Will the school bus operator arranges such that each student's travelling will be at most 1 hour?

For my case,the school bus operator doesn't come to woodlands area ( coz I thk the demand is low) . However , there is a 4:30pm bus to fetch the students back from school to woodlands .

DH or myself send DD to & back fr school daily . We step out about 6:35am )reach school about 7:05am. If start journey at 6:40 (latest), normally reach school ard 7:15am-7:20am.[/quote]
There are alot of mini buses that goes to various parts of singapore as there are students who live far away. Call RS transport 62866553 to ask transport details. School starts at 7.35am or 7.40am. Traffic to the school very smooth for us.

Last year, I had the option to put my dd in the same school as DS which school is a stone's throw away. The girls in her SMPS class seemed well behaved and she has good teachers. She enjoys school and she learns well from the teachers' teaching. On the other hand, the teachers in my son's co-ed school seems to have to shout/scream to control the class. Feedback from other parents of other classes in my son's co-ed school also seemed to be same. So comparing my DS and DD's progress in academic, character building, and especially from their behaviour seen in their daily life, I am filled with great happiness that I made the right decision especially on the times my DD fills me with the information on the stories and values she learns from school when I further queried her how she pick up certain good behaviour.

Are the 26 all SC? Will there be cases where some might pull out of the balloting process if they are doubtful?

May I know if any mummies here send their gers to SMPS even though they live more than 10kms away? and y? Trying to convince myself that the sch is not too far away for us, living ard 15km away from the sch.

Hi Allanice

glad to hear tt ur girl is happy in sch. may i know y u choose smps, a sch so far from ur home?

There were more 2B applicants this year as compared to last year. Wonder why. We chose SMPS cos we didn't want our little girl to be in a pressure cooker but instead to just enjoy growing up in a nurturing environment [/quote]



I did some homework by asking friends working in educational institutions abt SMPS and was told about the nurturing environment and the emphasis of good values versus academic results. We understood that we couldn't have the whole cake and eat it. So we agreed that it was more important for our dd to have a strong values foundation to being a wholesome person when she grows up. Everything else can build from there [/quote]

Goldpiggy,
You really do your homework well.[/quote]

Thanks, sglady. And congrats that your dd got into SMPS
See you at orientation
