      I bought 4 sets of uniforms and 3 sets of PE. My son is not in sports CCA.

      Thanks. Do you know how many PE lessons per week would Sec1 have?

      I can't recall exactly sorry, but I recall it was one or two. However it's useful to have PE attire around for things like camps and all.

        Hello, anyone can shed a light on the morning traffic during schooldays? I have searched for info but came up with only 2011/2016.
        How bad is the traffic before/after covid in the morning along the high school side?
        Any info is much appreciated as I have to travel from North side
        Thank you
        My kids always want to arrive in school super early, hence traffic has not been an issue for us. DS reaches by 6.50 am.

          If you reach bukit timah road before 7am, it shouldn't be a problem.

          Take into consideration there are schools like mgs, raffles primary, njc, nanyang girls using both bukit timah road and Dunearn road at about the same time.

          If you come from North, I assume is via pie taking either Adam road or eng neo.

          Adam road turning into bukit timah road can get pretty jammed up along the short stretch of road just before coronation plaza (nanyang primary is there), after that jam also due to petrol station/tan kah kee met station. So best to filter to middle lane then move back to left lane after tan kah kee station in order to enter hci via gate 3 or 4 (you can find the site map online to see where gates 3 & 4 are located).

          If going by eng neo, turn into sixth avenue follow by a left turn into one of the namly avenues (pls Google it on map cos too many namly road names so I can't remember) & will lead you to gate 4.

                    Students need to be present for flag raising, and most will usually like to go to their classrooms beforehand to put their bags down and hang out with their friends (or chiong hw) before heading to flag raising together

                    Monday’s flag raising is together with College side, so flag raising starts a bit later (at 7.35) so they need to be at the terraces (the grey steps at the field) by 7.30

                    Tuesdays to Thursdays iirc is 7.25 or 7.20, so they need to be there 5 mins before as well

                    After flag raising, the first period is for silent reading until 8 am, so proper lessons only start at 8.

                    On rainy days, there’s no flag raising, so they just need to be in class by 8.

                    On fridays the school’s timetable has blocked off a 2-3 hour period (I forgot the exact block) in the morning, which can be used for tests or project work, so if students don’t have anything on, they can report to school later at 10ish(? I forgot the exact time)

                    Hope my info is still accurate haha

                      Sadly, there hasnt been flagraising at the terraces for like 10 months now due to Covid. No live band olaying national anthem and school song etc. Best to wait for school to advise on arrival time as there are some staggered guidelines on school start and dismissal… evolving situation.
