Hi there,


It had been awhile since I last left a message here. Any parents whose kids are in DLS knows if there is school bus service from the SC to Yishun? :thankyou:

There isn't as far as I know . I am also looking for bus to Yishun. Is your child in P1 next year?

She will be in P1 in Yr 2019. Oh you are staying in Yishun as well? I am actually an OB of DLS, so that is why most likely we will try for Phase 2A. However, a concern shared by my wife is the distance from home to school. Whether will it be a toll on my daughter? Hope to be able to hear more from you especially when your eldest girl is also in DLS.

We were planning to send the youngest to student care now at least for the first 2 and a half years. My eldest was picked up from school until last term of P3 and she started taking the train back on her own. Not too bad, walking distance to Yew Tee MRT and one train ride home. Still depends on the child though, I am hoping my youngest is able to do the same at that time.

Alternatively, we are considering Schoolber. :scratchhead:

I’m from Woodlands… no sch bus service too… I send her by mrt in the morning and helper pick her by mrt in the afternoon…

next year #3 p1 liao…if #2 needs to stay for after sch activities then she has to travel by herself

Thanks for the reply, mummyscopio. I am just wondering how many within this group stays in yishun/woodlands. Maybe can collate the numbers and then maybe speak to a bus company to provide such service to and from DLS.

I actually know quite a few stays in Woodlands... but I think not a lot will need sch bus... many are traveling on public cos for school bus, morning too early... days that they have afternoon activities there's no bus to send them in the evening... it's Super costly and not worth...
so many choice public

Mummyscorpio is right. We stayed in Woodlands originally, my eldest took the school bus. The bus pick up time was 5.50 or thereabouts, if I remember correctly. Bus would drop the first batch from Woodlands and do another round in CCK. Really too early for my girl :snooze: Ended up stopping it after a year and dropping off ourselves.

My son just graduated from DLSS. My personal opinion - meet good dedicated teachers in P5/P6.


It was unfortunate that his FT changed at mid-year in P5. After that, things did not go smoothly for him with his FT and co-FT. They spent their time disciplining the children instead of motivating/inspiring them to achieve their potential.

All the extra classes they made the children stay back to prepare for PSLE did not help much as the sessions were mostly used to catch up for lessons not completed during normal periods.

The MT teacher was also not dedicated. Coincindentally, she was mostly sick during crucial times - a week leading up to prelims and PSLE.

I can only thank my son’s Math and MT tutors for his results. They stepped up to help him achieve his grades for PSLE.

Morning Mommies & Daddies. Does any one have any idea when the school’s Open house will be? I’ve been monitoring their website but not a whole lot of information there.


hoping to register our LO next year for 2019 P1 intake (dragon year). thanks in advance!
