Hi parents, would like to find out if any of u faced a sharp increase for the school bus fare this year? We paid $165 for 2way last year but changed to 1way this year and was shocked that it is $110 even though its just 1 way.

2 way $165 doesnt mean 1 way $82.50.

DS 1 way $110, 2 way $130.

1 way more expansive, there are basic cost to cover. 2 way is cheaper just add a bit for the return trip.

However if pick up and return is different address and require different bus, then each way may cost $110.

School hours : 7.25 am - 1.15pm Mon & Tue
7.25 am - 1.45pm Wed,Thur, FRI

Driving to school best time wil be by 6.40 am, hardly any Q.
School buses start coming in around 6.45am.

Pick up - Main gate opens for parents 20min after dismissal .
To avoid the jam, arrive 30min -35min after dismissal.
No point and too dangerous to pick your boy at the bus stop / pick up along the road ....

Best to train your son to take the MRT, right at the sch door step...save you the rising blood pressure :mad: :rant: .....

and your son may even be home earlier than by car

Dear parents,


Planning to transfer my to MS Primary for P4 due to proximity, appreciate if someone can share how they organise the classes ? e.g. all top results students go to the same P4 class ? Do they have robotics CCA ? thank you very much.

P1-2 and P3-4 same classmates for 2 years, all different standard.
P5-6, they based on top students same class and same standard, but may not be in order of A, B, C and so on.

Yes, they do have robotics CCA by external vendor.

This is a Govt -aided school.
This is a SAP sch , = Both Eng & Chs are 1st language, hence P1-4 , the boys take Higher Chinese .
This is a Mission sch = Expect & appreciate prayers & gospel readings.
Primary sch canteen sells LOTS of fried food and empty calories snacks > potatoes chips & sweet drinks etc
Most Sports CCA are outsourced hence they are paying CCA > charged per hour . The top on the rank will be Badminton & Table tennis .
Most if not all of the excursions , 'mandatory' mag & newspapers subscription & online portal etc etc are not paid thru Edusave but by cash >> bulk collection at year end . Amt can be anything from $100++ to high end of $200++ per boy.
Last but not least , if u send & fetch your son by car .... either send super early at 6.40am and pick much later 35-40 min after dismissal or else :slapshead: :stompfeet:

:please: Welcome to the Big Family :grphug:
