I am urgently looking for a carpool/shared taxi or private bus from kembangan area to ATS.


I tried the ATS million school bus first day today, they charged me at an outrageous bus fee ( when I compared with other schools’ bus fee) but only managed to send my kid home at 340pm instead of 245pm that they mentioned.

Appreciate if any of you can share any contacts of reliable driver or private bus with me. Thank you!

I am a parent of P1 2017. My boy attended chinese prep P1 class in ATS b4 sch starts, & we find the teacher, Mdm Yeo, effective & caring. We are finding a few other P1s to start a small class. Please sms me 9017-5449 if you are keen.

[quote=\"floppy\"]Not sure what are the criterias that Ps are assigned to the schools. However one thing very clear MOE will never post a P from a \"no brand\" school to NYPS :siam:

Sounds like the stuff that urban legend is made of.

Considering that NYPS has only 4 principals till date (with the current one dating to Dr Ng Eng Hen's time as Education Minister), the \"one thing\" isn't so clear when there's not much data to draw or infer on.

Do not need historic data. One can simply draw a conclusion from the posting list. Why not post some 无名小学 feather weight P over there then??? Hahahahahaaaa... :evil:

NYPS next P is from Pei Chun Public school. It's neither a no-brand primary school nor a top-brand primary school. So I'm still not sure whether that validate or invalidate your claim.[/quote]Are there any feedbacks on the new P? So far, I did not hear of anything positive. I learnt that she is not friendly and does not interact much with the students. As compared to the previous P, who is very active, interacting with students and to the extend of stationing at the students drop off zone to supervise the drop off and pickup. There seems to be quite a distinct difference.....passive P vs passionate P.

The new P seems quite quiet and low profile… not much communication with parents. Many experienced teachers had left or are leaving ATS… its quite a worrying sign.

Hi exhausted mum,

Why do you say the new P is low profile? Heard her speak at a recent event and had the impression that she's the down to earth, quiet type. But she does have pretty good credentials - was VP at Radin Mas and seem to have run Park View well.

Am just surprised that the school compound looks rather run down e.g. a few damaged facilities etc when the campus is supposed to be rather new.

My DH is an old boy and alumni so we are likely to send our gal there starting next year, but distance is an issue. We are at Redhill. I do not drive and picking her up from school will be a challenge. Heard the bus company does not operate any routes to Redhill. Can any parents help advise?

Sometimes I wonder if it is worth the while to make the gal travel so far too....sigh....

Redhill and don't drive?
My advice would be to seriously reconsider as it's gonna be 6 long years.
You can choose to shift house or buy a car.

Maybe I should be clearer. We have a car BUT I do not drive. Mornings will not be an issue since hubby can send but pick ups will be. Hence my qn on the bus arrangements.
Indeed the distance is a concern but it is an almost guaranteed place in Ai Tong versus guaranteed balloting in ONE nearby school within 1 km of my house. The rest are all 2km or beyond and all confirm ballot under Phase 2C. I have a serious dilemma here. The only saving grace is the MRT station is supposedly going to be up in 2 years' time.
