Yes sch bus only ferry kids nearby only. I got the same surprised tone two years back -_-'.


We stay in sengkang. In e morning , daddy sends him to sch and we leave our house at 635am, reaching sch around 7-710am. He goes to after sch care. I had an arrangement w my boss to come in early and goes off early n leaves the office before 5pm each day. I took public transport to his school n upon fetching him, we flag a cab home. More time is saved as compared to taking train and LRT on e way back each day. On days I have to leave office late, I asked my parents or in laws to pick up the boy.

Thanks for e input everyone, seems like we have to drive our kids to school and pick them home on our own daily. Hopefully we will still have a car by next year as our car is going 10 yr old in Aug. At times really want to just enrol my son in any neighbourhood school Ard our estate for convenience sake but on e other hand would really love to immense my kids in SAP j rich in Chinese culture and language which I think will be beneficial to them as they grow up. Not to mention HW is my Alma mater, whereby the bond is even stronger. Haha, 3 more months to go.. can't wait for it to be over for a load off my mind.

Hi Zing, seems your mind is made up. From past stats, you should not have to worry about getting in.

Happy that you have such strong feelings towards your alma mater and that your next generation will be part of this HWS family.

See you around soon!

I think all kids will be given the form and a nil return is required. So even the kiam chye has to be returned on pain of getting scolding from teacher? There should be PTM before June hols. Can ask teacher also then.

Just called the school bus provider if they pick up students from Bishan... The operator gave me a surprised tone and asked why do I enrol my kid in HWS when I stay in Bishan?
Should just enrol into a school in Bishan or <2 km. she say the driver normally only take in students staying within 2km from school as they need to take on other job as well. Haha, seems like I have another wake up call now.

No school bus... :slapshead:

hi Zing,

perhaps you may want to post into here : see whether got any private bus driver can help to fetch your kid from Bishan, to school
