Hi dottypooh, is your child in volleyball team? My child is interested to enroll into volleyball as his CCA, so I'm wondering if there's any qualifying assessment to enter into the CCA.

Hi CeciliaAng,
I am assuming that your child is in P1 this year. Usually the students have to undergo some assessment activities by the school teachers... If your child has some potential, they would get a letter. If not, dun give up... Continue to train hard. And your child might have a chance.
My child didnt get into volleyball when she was in P1. She just joined them this year. She is in P4 now.
If your child is interested...... Make sure he does well for his studies as well as volleyball is one of the most tedious CCA in the school. They train almost everyday except Sunday if they are in the school team.

Cheers

Thanks for the information. Hopefully he gets into the CCA he wants.

Hi,

My DS will be under 2A2 in bukit panjang primary and 2C (<1km) for Nanhua and Qifa. NH should be out so now I'm indecisive of either BPPS or QFPS. Transportation is not a problem. Can anyone give some advise?

I balloted for Qifa at more than 2km for phase 2C last year. If you are within 1km, it's worth the try for nanhua, but qifa would not be available for 2C supp usually.

If you ask me, I would prefer a school near home. As most schools would be operating under single session, a lot of extra activities will be conducted in the afternoons. There are some schools that would end their activities as late as 6.30pm. if the traveling time back home is long, the child would be too tired to complete their homework.

Hi, I'll be enrolling my boy to qifa Pri under P2a2, does anyone know the pricing for the school bus?

School bus fares depends on the area that you are staying. Would you like to pm me for more details?

I'm currently living at Bukit Panjang.. but my Mom is staying at Teban gardens. Want to know the pricing for either sending him from BP and from Teban gardens. Going home will be back to Teban gardens.

if my child take the sch bus and reaches school before 7am… And sch starts at 740am… What does the child do for 40mins? It feels like he will be idling him time away in school… Any advice/experience from parents on this?

My child used to take the school bus until he started student care in school. He would usually take his breakfast and then spend time at the playground with his friends. But it's definitely tiring for him to wake up so early everyday.

Alan Bus service: 67778811
I think better to call them and get a clearer picture

You will be surprised what the kids can do in school. They can socialize in the canteen or they can go up to the hall.
Like CeciliaAng shared, there is a mini playground beside our indoor sports hall where they get to play with their classmates.
The school library is open only at 8am so that is out of the question.
I am sure your child will know what to do to occupy himself. Don't have to worry about that.

Thank you Dottypooh and CeciliaAng! i think i shall try to let go and let him gain some independence huh..... hahaha...
Will there be teachers around the school during that timing? at least i know i can ask him to ask the teachers if he needs any help...

There will be teachers around the school but not sure if they will be in the canteen.
