Don't trust Google map...Like I said, cut thru the Ghim Moh HDB carpark where the market is/old bus terminal was. Those who took 100, 111 would cut thru this path last time. Sinoboy already highlighted this earlier.
Walking thru Ghim Moh market market, ( no need to go near Ulu Pandan CC) and entering the campus thru the side gate near Ghim Blk 1 ( so no need to go to Mt Sinai road) should be be much faster 10-12 mins max. Unfortunately Google doesnt know these short cuts. And no one seems to be interested in this either. Just saying it anyway.Sun_2010:

Google map gives 14 mins so it is between 10-20 mins using an average pace of walking I suppose. 10 mins could be a very athletic person and 20 mins could be one with a heavy bag or a very late night of finishing up the homework after all the CCAs.
How come I keep seeing heavy bags? Is it heavier than Pr Sch kids' 4 kg bag? They can rent a locker you know? Besides, it's all lecture notes on foolscap papers and no thick textbooks/workbooks in JC...unless things have changed?[/quote]No lah someone else here who is RJC alumni (may be more than one person) mentioned this before. She walked to Buona vista MRT from the campus for two years.
But I know there is a side gate where RJC, Dunman high, NUS high school, henry park primary, RGPS people all use to walk to the MRT through ghim moh. There is a feeder bus from the campus to the mrt which makes it even more convenient.

JC bags are the lightest of the lot. Most don’t need textbooks. There is also something called "the locker".

The so called text books are super thick and heavy that no one is bringing them. It will take two bags to bring if want to bring. They are plied with lecture notes. The bag are lighter than in pri or sec schools -

I do not agree. No doubt standards of living improve over generations. Hence endurance and resilience may be of different measures. However, we should let our children be exposed to some 'hardship' which is not even deemed as hard in the past. Do not over-protect and make them strawberries.lee_yl:
Every generation is a strawberry generation to the earlier ones. Our parents and grandparents lived through The Great Depression, Japanese Occupation, race riots and many more, so who are we to snidely comment that our children are strawberries when we are likewise strawberries in our parents and grandparents' eyes?
Speak for yourself. I ain't no strawberry in the eyes of my parents and grandparents but a resilient apple.
I don't care if you call yourself a resilient apple or redoubtable orange, we are not an orchard here.
It is interesting that a thread for a new IPJC has so many distracting posts making snide remarks and comments while trying to avoid the key issues; firstly, there has been a series of mistakes committed by MOE that has resulted in parents being unhappy. Secondly, the lack of clarity and information leave parents in the dark and uncertain as well as worried.
If the affected parents choose to vent their frustration in an open forum using words, everyone can just make an effort to empathise, be sensitive and not make negative comments unnecessarily. -

I won’t say they have made a / many mistakes. It is just unfortunate that a series of unforeseen circumstances has taken place and taken as a whole it looks bad to those who xxxxx it. It happens everywhere all the time.
Knowing Singaporeans are kiasu, kiasi, kiabo, and kpkb in the slightest hint of deviation - they don’t dare put out another statement until every issue is crystal clear. Am sure their higher up have briefed them to shut up unless new foolproof solutions are tested and proven. -
