You left out NUSH and DHS ...

Didn't know dhs was there too....that is far!!

Yes, it is a distance from the present Tanjong Rhu to Mt Sinai holding site...

BUT heard that the school did make special transport arrangement ....
To transport pupils fr the present location to the holding site in the morning...for those who had problems getting there...(Any ex- dunmanians of the affected batch can double confirm this ?? as my gal isnt the affected batch)

Moreover, their morning flag raising time had been pushed later to commence at 8 a.m due to the longer road journey...
This practice has Not been changed even after DHS moved back to Tanjong Rhu...

Affected parents fr CHS, St Nicks n SCGS...
Suggest to discuss with the respective schs if the schs could step in to help to ease some of the transport issues should the decision of the holding site be final...

\"IP students from CHS, CHIJ SNGS and SCGS will spend their first four years in their respective secondary schools, before they progress to a new government JC in 2017. For the initial batches, the new JC will operate at an interim campus to be located at the current ITE College Central (Bishan Campus). The interim campus will be fully furnished and equipped with the necessary resources for students to fully benefit from an enriched IP curriculum. More details of the permanent site will be released later.\"

Thank you. My bad, never read fine prints. Please forgive me.

Then the authorities need to honour their words. It is both written and verbally communicated.[/quote]

Do the authorities have to honour their words and address your concerns if they have their reasons?

Look at those property owners who are promised 99 or 999 years of land leasing and but still have to relocate due to some unforeseen government's projects.

Yes these people deserve their voices to be and views to be at heard in a dialogue.

Yes a dialogue session is necessary in all the cases.

Delay is not just once but twice.

Let’s not mould our new generation into 草莓一族。


It’s also unhealthy to reiterate about JCs’ ranking, encourage competitions among JCs, the new IP JC to surpass which and which top JCs and worrying about whether it could still attract top scholars into the JC.

Isn’t it more important to encourage our young generation to put in their best effort in everything they do, to be resilient like their parents, and contribute whole-heartedly to our nation in future and not to draw themselves boundaries of elitism and this myopic meritocracy in education?

Agree it is not a matter of honouring their words if there are valid reasons to the problem. These are just angry words. Not listening to the property owners does not mean they should just continue not to listen...are we living in the imperialism world? The resolution can be open for discussion by first understanding the impact on the people affected, especially when there are 2 changes in the announcement. Allow the aggrieved people to make their case and the authorities to convince them.

And for affected parents, suggestion is not to pressure for the new building to be ready by promised date. If there is really something wrong with the soil, pushing for a quick construction is only putting the students' lives at risk if the building is built on unstable ground. JMHO.

I am sure the authorities did listen to the affected property owners' grievances in those cases but were firm in their stance for the benefit of the majority in the nation.

Shouldn't the affected parents and pupils seek their respective principal for explanation first? We are talking about three school leaders but none know the exact situation nor 'fight' for their students?

If the requests are reasonable the authorities will do something about it. Like the Fenvale Temple case, the residents submit petition meet MP and authorities like what parents in new JC are going to do. And finally the authorities did something about it. So changes can happen if reasonable.
