      Hello! 🙂


      My daughter is in P1 this year. And she takes the school bus. I am just wondering.. Next year it will be single session for all levels. The school mentioned that the school bus does not send the kids home after school if they have to stay back for remedials or CCAs.

      For parents with kids who take the school bus and cannot pick up the kids after that, what will your arrangements be like? Is there some kind of car pool or private school bus service to send the kids home?

      I wanted to enrol my daughter into the student care next year. But now that I know there won't be school bus to send her home, I can't anymore. Is this a norm for all primary schools in sg? Sorry, still quite new to all these. So I am just wondering aloud.

          KCPPS is supposed to have on-premise student care service next year, but operator has not been confirmed. Alternatively, you can try Sparkle Tots near KCPPS. They are willing to walk over and fetch the kids from school after CCA or remedial.

            There is a "Devotion" session on Christian values which is compulsory for all.

              The on-premise student care service would likely be over-subscribed as interest from existing students have far exceeded the capacity.

                Heard that the priority will be given to the new P1 students, but not sure about the details. Maybe we have to ballot? Siam one ballot cannot siam another?

                    Chapel session is kind of like assembly for the pupils. Simple Christian values lessons which are applicable to everyone are taught . Your Kid doesn't have to pray at the end if not comfortable.
                    Whatever Christian lessons taught are already so watered down. They even use snippets of the pg13 spiderman movie to teach some lessons at Chapel. How Christian do you think the school can be?
                    Actually I feel that parents enrol your kids in this school knowing full well that this is a christian missions school. So Chapel sessions are to be expected. If such chapel sessions are a major issue to you, then should not enrol in this school in the first place.

                        I share the same sentiments. Why are parents enrolling their kids to a Presbyterian school if they find attending chapel sessions an issue?
