CHIJ St Nicholas Girls'

[MommyNgoi]

Hi, I’m super new to this forum. And yes, I joined as my daughter just got registered for 2018! Appreciate any guidance as I’m so blur trying to navigate this site.


We live around Katong at Amber Gardens. Any suggestion on the best way to settle the logistics, without us having to move? I heard about Schoolber, in the event no bus comes here.

Appreciate any advice from experienced parents.

Thank you!

Thanks Crester!

I’m also worried about the transport as we stay in Sembawang. Any idea if the school bus comes here?
How about any in school student care service or nearby ones and what time they operate till?
Appreciate any kind advice!

There is a school bus that fetch (P1 to P6) children from the east,
to CHIJ St Nicholas primary in Ang Mo Kio,
but school bus come very early 5.35 am everyday (Mon to Fri) to fetch them. They reach school, around 6.45 am.

Can contact the school bus operator, for more detail.

But, your daughter have to wake up latest around 5.15 am daily, brush teeth, eat breakfast (sometimes no appetite to eat), before hop onto St Nick Sch bus.

After board 5.40 am school bus :
most of the children very sleepy & tired, close their eyes continue to try to catch some sleep inside school bus, on their way to school. Inside the bus, when they sleep, is quiet in the morning.

Mon, Tue, Thur :
St Nick dismissed school, at 1.50 pm.
When school bus fetch children back home (in the east) : is around 2.50 to 3 pm.

Wed and Fri :
Being Cca days, school dismissed earlier, at 1.30 pm.

When school bus fetch children back home (in the east), to their door step, close to an hour later, they reach home around 2.30 pm.

Those staying in the east -
School bus fare : around $230 per month, dua way to-and-fro.

You can contact CHIJ Village Student care centre (for P1 to P6 students), at telephone 6459-4801.

Think they had increased the student care fees last time ($ 280) to currently around $ 350 or slightly more, per month.

May contact school bus operator (Anna and her drivers' team) : what time school bus fetch kids, from Sembawang ?

Alternatively -
There are also some parents at CHIJ St Nicholas primary : that do not place their daughters directly into CHIJ Village Student care centre.

Instead, these parents placed their girls into another Student care centre, that are much nearer / closer to their home, wherever they stay : & thus, more convenient for them to up pick their girls, after work. This is another method, being practiced, in St Nick.

That means after school dismissed at 1.50 pm, their daughters board school bus : not go home, but go to the Student care centre, that is much closer to their home, nearby.

Hi Mommy Ngoi,

Alternatively, if the school bus goto Katong around 5.40 am so early to fetch your daughter, another way out is :-

If your husband or you happen to drive past Ang Mo Kio on your way to work everyday, you can drop off your daughter in school in the morning, then let her return home in the afternoon, by school bus. That is, one way only.

This is quite common, in St Nick.

There are parents who practise one way home, by school bus. In the morning, they drop off their dsughters, on their way to work.

Example

My friend's daughter stay in Sengkang. She said school bus come around ... 6 am. She said \"Ridiculous, so early ! How to wake up, so early ? \" So, she prefer to drive, & send her daughter to school Mon-Fri, come rain or shine.

However, even though her daughter take school bus one way home, after school -
There is not much difference, in terms of the school bus fees charged per month, even though is only 1 way.

Hi all

My daughter is going 4 this year and we are keen to enrol her in sngs. Understand that the PV application for her cohort will be open this year. Any experienced parents can advise more on this? I checked the sch website but didn’t see anything on PV application. Thanks!
