Raffles Girls' Primary

Ha ha, the taffic has improved on both sides at bukit timah. I can drive tru hillcrest peacefully now. No more long Qs along the road and need not enter by watten to try beat the jam… actually its kind of quiet in the evenings. Now hubby does not hv to leave home 10 mins earlier in the morming.
Anyway looks like they just started work recently, think early this month. I do hope they include another entrance for cars to enter else its going to be "all hell break loose " with an estimate of 600 more students in the morning session. -
Pupils from National Junior college (located behind RGPS school premises) can enjoy remaining 1.5 years (from now till end of 2015) of traffic bliss.
Come January 2016 :-
Back to square 1 : traffic woe during peak hour.
Worse, because another 600 students (from 2016 P1 + P2), during morning peak hour.
Unless students take new Tan Kah Kee MRT station (Downtown line), walk across to school faster.
Tan Kah Kee MRT station much more convenient, compared to Botanic Garden MRT station.
Tan Kah Kee -
Can walk across to RGPS + NJC.
Not only do we need more classroom -
we also need more facilities, to accommodate & occupy the girls in the afternoon, after school.
The girls don’t go home straight directly so fast, after classes end.
Will plan new programme, to occupy them.
Recess time inside the canteen :-
we also need more food stalls, plus definitely need more benches, to let all the girls have space to sit down & eat their food.
current P4 girls (born 2004: year of Monkey) -
Will shift back here enjoy new school facilities for one remaining last year, before sit for PSLE 2016. -
Yes, the traffic could be worse when the school operates single session in 2016.
I hope the school can come out with an innovative way to ease the traffic during peak period else it could be quite frustrating for both parents and the resident there.
For years i have been wondering why the school didn't want to partial convert NJC Dr to allow vehicles go in from Dunearn Rd only during peak period and open the gate next to Hillcrest Villa for exit. I think it will at least ease the deadlock situation especially when the school buses coming out from NJC Dr and cars along the left lane of Dunearn Rd turning into Hillcrest Rd. -
New MRT probably will have stations on the opposite (Dunearn) side as well, as for most other MRTs. I’m hoping it is in time for 2016.

MRT would probably serve a portion of the upper primary. For parents who drive and want their kids to have more rest will still send them to school.

Yeps I dread the daily drive so much, and it has only barely 4 months since school started. 4 trips of almost 20 km each day up and down Farrer Road. What with the tween attitudes and daily food struggles...makes me want to throw in the motherhood towel altogether.
