Hello,


Some quick questions:

1. What do they call the Tuckshop these days? Tuckshop or Canteen or Cafe?

2. Where can we buy those traditional student desks? The type where the top opens up and you can store your exercise books and stationery inside? Checked with IKEA and no stock for the foreseeable future and KSP Buy and Sell doesn't have anything on this.

3. For the Admin Day and Orientation Day, do we bring the child along?

4. On taking the school bus, for <1km, will the child be picked up amongst the firsts or lasts? ie. more or less sleeping time for the child at home. Still trying to weigh the difference between taking the school bus and mummy taxi. For mummy taxi, what's the drop off and pick up protocol at the school like? I understand that school starts at 7:10am.

5. What's the guidance on Pocket Money/Day at MSHP? Will $1 to $1.50 allowance/day be sufficient?

6. Does the school restrict the child from carrying a non-smartphone (on silent mode) in his school bag? The cellphone will be particularly useful if DS needs to call home for whatever reason, eg. early or late pick up, nanny fails to show up etc.

Any advise welcomed and tks in advance.

1. Canteen

2. dunno

3. can

4. not sure about pick up, drop off prefer to drop off at the taxi stand in front of the MRT...can follow the others walking to school and enter by side gate..school start 730 la...as long as before 730 not consider late.

5. $2

6. no phone allowed.

I give my elder DS only $1 per day, as he will buy other unnecessary stuff with his extra money.
