thanks all for the advice!

yes i have also spoken to my boy about how he can make use of the traveling time to relax or unwind

whether HCI or DHS, the journey from our hse is an hr or so, regardless

we arent able to send him as my younger child in P2 studies in Punggol and also starts 7.30
we are trying the mrt route, to tan kah kee mrt its not that bad as my hubby can drop him off at YCK mrt, or he can take 852 from yck interchange

any idea where do they enter school from? Chinese High Main Gate? or the Chinese High bus stop along bukit timah road?

thank u!

anyone staying near Yio chu kang/ sunrise estate area near Amoy Quee Camp?
we are considering HCI but distance is a challenge
nearest mrt is YCK or Lentor but we need to take bus down to YCK/Lentor before starting the mrt journey

total traveling time will be 1hr 15mins there about
any students spending this much time traveling?

just wondering the toil it has on the kids and if it’s uncommon

my son spend 50m-1hr one way everyday to HCI….
so far no problem

Hello! I have the same problem as you. We are at Punggol and we took the mrt on Friday to try the route. We realized that Year 1 students have to use the gate that is further up, opp National JC (bus stop 41071). We are trying to see if taking a bus from say, Little India will be faster.

As mentioned, I don’t think the HS boys can enter at the gate right next to TKK MRT station. I believe most will take a bus down 2 stops to Opp NJC and enter there (this is two gates down). Good news is there are a lot of buses that go this route from TKK.


Other option is to walk to the first gate from TKK (think this is the Chinese High gate and closest to Chinese High bus stop). It is not far but not close either.

If you are already on a bus, I think the shortest walk is if you exit at Opp NJC, not Chinese High bus stop.

You must bear in mind the traffic along Bt Timah Rd in the morning. Taking bus from Little India may not be faster.

High school starts at 7.30am but think silent reading starts earlier.

- students enter via the gate at HCI (Intl) where u can see swim pool. Everyone takes a bus from TKK down. To go home, folks take bus to 6th Ave to take MRT. This is for those who hops onto MRT in whatever direction.
I do hear boys who come down via Lornie take bus and they probably sleeps on the way down.

College may start at 8am; J1 and J2 were staggered last yr.

Boarding school - Only overseas and selected few are allowed to stay since Covid started last yr, so for 2 yes, Sec 3 boys cannot go to boarding school.
Sec 1 orientation camp - this is in June so fingers crossed by then situation improves n they get overnight camp.

Anyone knows what date is school reopening for other sec level besides Sec 1?
