You are right. There are no bus vendors Gg to SK. But I think on of them have actually detoured from pasir ris to serve the SK kids.

However, going into single session next year, the bus won't be able to fit anymore so they likely won't be taking in new students. Or might even just cancel their service to SK.

Is there another school in Sengkang which you can try? Cos travelling an hour to and from Sengkang to Marine Parade may be very tiring for the young kid. IMHO.

Yup a few schools I have shortlisted too in SK. But still hoping TNS could be an option if I can drive her to / from school daily maybe...

Yup a few schools I have shortlisted too in SK. have to be realistic too. Unless I can ferry her to and from school daily.

Whatever your choice.. come July/ August, hope you can get your choice. Good luck

Cystal, i let go of tao nan too last year and i’m glad i did so and stay put in SK as covenience really helps… getting up early in the morning and just walk 5-8 minutes to reach school than to rush and drive 40 minutes in jam to send them… the kid is tired, we are tired too.

Yes…esp at MP, The traffic jam around the school in the morning starts from 7am onwards. The queue to the drop off and the u-turns is really long.

If really no direct bus from Tao Nan (Marine Parade) primary to Sengkang -
- perhaps see whether Tao Nan school bus can drop off child halfway, then either you or spouse or parents / maid everyday (come rain or shine) able to be there, fetch child home, everyday.
This method is called the \"half way workaround alternative solution\".
Otherwise, no choice, but to give up Tao Nan Phase 2A status, register child into a school in Sengkang, instead.
Last resort is drive child to Tao nan daily to & fro both ways, for next 6 years from P1 to P6, until can find a transfer to another school

Hi YMCA student care is always on waiting list. Anyone who has placed their child in other student cares?

Hi,

Some students went to Hotshots (along east coast road) when the school was still in MP... not sure now.
I used to see them walk the P1 and P2 s to school in the afternoon.

Hi Mummies,

didnt get a respond earlier and just wondering if anyone can help advise. I'm staying at Seng Kang and keen to put my daughter back to Tao Nan (my alumni). Anyone staying at Seng Kang too? Do you know the route from SK to Marine Parade and how long it would take?

Hi,

Bus 5 which is for Hougang also goes to Seng Keng and Punggol. If you call the school, they might tell you no bus to SK and PG. You can try to call the bus 5 operator directly for details. Contact number available on TNS website.
