Hi super busy mum (I like ur nick!)


My girl is not on bus 2. She’s on bus 8 and is not mini bus.
It’s those huge bus that can accommodate 30-40 kids type.
Hence I don’t think the law states it’s mandatory to retrofit seat belts lor!

I understand from my other gf fr other sch whose girls are on mini bus also has no auntie.

Can anyone feedback if the sch bus ur dd takes has seat belts?


Mspizza does ur bus number 2 has seat belt on?

Is there a regulation or any law that states the buses must have seat belts?
My girl bus has no seat belts. They arranged my girl to sits the first row which the front is just a black board that people board or slight the bus.

Comparing to girls who sit behind, infront of them is a seat which another girl seats.
So in case things happen, at least the seat infront acts as a shield isn't it?
I told the bus auntie this morning to arrange my girl sit behind but she gave me a vague reply \"eh...but she sits here\" and I said the bus has no seat belts! Worrying!
Then she said don't worry lah.

So when things sway sway touch wood happens, is she going to be responsible? Is the bus transport responsible? Is the driver responsible?
Not very happy with it.
One of the upper pri girl said she was told seat belts will be fixed a week later but none. And the sch P has been reminding the girls to wear seat belts.

Hi. According to her, bus no 2 does have seat belt and all of em are required to fasten up. Hers is not e small bus but e big one. You may refer to this link for more info - http://www.spf.gov.sg/mic/2011/111223_seat_belt.htm

hi jacsplace,
The girls stayed in hotel. (think is 5*). 3 to a room. Their class teacher assigned their roommates. (2 from same class…one from another class)

My dd enjoyed her Malacca trip very much....

I realised the P1 girls do not have much homework and there is nothing copied onto their handbook as well. They do not have a class blog is its quite difficult to know what they are doing in class. Is that the same for other P1 classes??

Hi bluemoon


I agree in the HW. So far the hw my gal brought home are to do coloring and 2 pages of worksheet. I guess it’s good in the sense everything is done in school. At least at home they can take a break or revise other stuffs or you may assign ur gal some assessment books to do.

I would gladly support having a blog or even a fb closed group for the class. I had suggested but no outcome fr the school. Other schs had fb page and posted pix of the gals first second few days at sch. It certainly warms the heart for those parents to spot their gals esp when the parents didn’t get to stay at school.

Forgot abt the handbook. My gal handbook has stuffs copied in it. Though not on a daily basis. Teacher also email us parents for important reminders too.
