Hi Sharmum,

Oh dear, how can the driver do that? I think you have to talk to the driver and not the office coz sometimes the feedback or complaint doesn’t channel from office to the driver. There was once my girl reached home earlier and my mum was not at the pick up point yet and the driver called my HP and said he is waiting downstair and now i will ask my mum to wait 5-7min earlier coz sometimes the timing is so irregular since the CCA has started. Each day there will be gals staying back for CCA so less gals to send home.

Any idea why the boss said there will be another mess next week? Can someone give me the boss HP number juz in case I need to find him?

Have spoken with Francis and driver of the transport company but they make it seems like my mistake of not going down earlier. Still say that I very rude to raise my voice at them when I am questioning them on how they can do this……

Then, I spoke with SMPS Ops Mgr and she told me that Richard is the boss not Francis and I should highlight this to Richard so that he is aware of the situation ( saw my hesitation to call him – I worry about my dd safety). Then, she told me all the more I should call and inform him – but unable to reach him.

But when I check with the Ops Mgr (SMPS), she mentioned that noting in particular is going on next week – except earlier dismissal on the CNY Friday. This is really tiring and frustrating.... :stupid:

Well, can understand your dilemma since our DD are in their hands. The only way is to ask your helper to go down early in future.

Hi Tri-mum,

Yes, agreed. I am not very comfortable to let her use the lift alone or with stranger. I rather she call and wait if didn't see my helper.

When my girl was in YMCA student care last year… . For first few days, everyday I called the driver HP and asked him whether arriving soon or what time to go down and wait. So whenever he was early he called my hp.

This year , my girl is taking the another bus home as I have changed the student care to near to our home. On first day of school , called the driver to inform him to look up for my girl as she is first time taking his bus and make sure he knew where to drop her. To be kiasu ,even took half day leave on 4 Jan and went down to her school during their dismissal time, went to look up for her school bus no to make sure she boarded the right bus and also spoke to the driver juz to make sure he got the alighting address right. Luckily for her there are two other girls going to the same student care. Now that CCA started, my dd told me sometime there are very few girls in the bus .

Hi Mummies


Need some feedback on St. Margret’s. How are the teachers and school system? Are they focusing only on academic or have an overall approach from academic, sports, arts, values, etc?

I have shortlisted St. Margret and Paya Lebar Methodist. My gal born in 2006 and understand that I should start to register for PV (if need be) this year.

Hi everyone,


My daughter will be starting her primary school education at St Margaret's next year. My husband and I met the principal and we were happy when she said P1 children have no homework. She said the first year is quite traumatic already -- longer hours, etc. -- and she didn't want to add to the stress.

Frankly, I think this is great. My daughter already cries when she has to do her K2 homework and studying. Work should be done in school. Studying for tests/exams can be done at home, but there has to be time for play too.

Hi,

I am intending to register my dd at St Margaret Pri this July.
Please share with me some of your experience?
Did you apply through phase 2B?
I will be under 2C (within 1-2km), wonder whats the chances.

How is your dd liking the school for the first few weeks?
what is the school hours like?

Hope to hear from you Thanks in advance!
