Short answer: I'm not 100% sure.

My guess is take a bus from Botanic Garden (after arriving there via Circle Line).

While the walk from Circle Line to Downtown Line at Botanic Garden is not too bad, it still takes some time and you need to go up again at TKK MRT station. Once at TKK MRT, a lot of the boys will take a bus down from TKK to Opp NJC bus stop (I think the walk from Opp NCJ is a bit shorter than from it is from Chinese High bus stop). So if you can just get on the bus earlier it saves one step.

The caveat to the above is that the traffic on Bukit Timah Road could be bad in the morning, although maybe the buses can keep moving OK.

Hope someone else can clarify here. If not, just try both a few days and see what is preferred; I don't think it will be a big difference either way.

I personally prefer the Botanic Gardens method out of habit (TKK station was built halfway into my time at HCI). The jam at Bukit Timah Road is pretty awful in the mornings; it has Nanyang Primary + the secondary schools to serve, but I think if there's a jam whether you board the bus at TKK or at Botacs it doesn't really matter, so my suggestion is if you're on the Downtown Line, just take to TKK station, else if you're on the Circle Line, take to Botacs.

I found out that if I reach the bus stop at Botacs by 7 I should be on time for school; later than 7 the traffic picks up, so probably the latest you have to be at the bus stop is around 7:05 to 7:10. Do note that while all the buses from TKK goes to the Opp Natl JC bus stop, not all the buses at Botacs go straight, so you'd need to pay attention (or just board with the crowd)

And yep! Usually I enter HS via Gate 3 (Opp Natl JC bus stop) because that's the side of where the classrooms are at.

The traffic outside coronation plaza is very bad in the morning due to NYPS and the merging lane just before Sinopec.
