Yes, it follows the MOE school holiday. But exam periods are much earlier or later than mainstream schools. For june/dec holidays, I find the elective or cca activities tend to be organised nearer to start of the holidays. The school tends to be quite last minute with these as it is subject to only qualified students or interest. There’s no harm sending a mail to the level head to ask about the tentative schedules. Some of the students will already be starting projects so you have to check in with them so your holiday plans don’t disrupt their project team plans.

Thanks for the info!

Does anyone stay extreme east and how does your child manage the travel between school and home daily and manage the school activities, homework etc? Wondering how do kids who stay far from school manage the long travel time? Is it taxing for them?

Yes, its very stress and limited time when travel too far. Many of my friends and relatives always ranted that Secondary School that need up to 1 hour travel time are stressful because if the school starts 7.30am, the student need to wake up at 6am without breakfast. A lot of time school ends at 4.30 to 6pm so they only be back home at 6 to 7.30pm. After dinner and shower, they will start homework at 7.30 to 9pm that mostly ends at 10.30pm to 12am. So they Secondary School students usually sleep at 11.30 to 12am while different curriculum top schools student frequently sleep at 1am due to homeworks and projects.

If the travel time is up to 1.5 hours, then the student need to wake at 5.30am without breakfast. All of these are based on short waiting time of public transport and short walking distance from bus stop or MRT to school and home. If a student has no meal, then they cannot concentrate and will have health problems too. If taking MRT and bus, you cannot sleep or else you will miss the stop. In raning season, the travel time will be longer with clothes and shoes are wet.

If you plan to take the school bus, its even earlier! The bus must reach at least half hour earlier to school and due to pick up points stops, they need more travel time. Usually another extra hour more than public transport and if you miss the bus, you need to take public transport so you must wait 15 to 30 minutes earlier for the school bus. If you take public transport with 1 hour travel time, then school bus need at least 2.3 hours. Getting wet is rarely but school bus will always need longer travel time when especially in rainy days. You can sleep in the bus but its quite stressful when the bus is moving.

If travel by car, there will traffic jams at that hour and especially near schools are too jammed. This exclude problematic rainy seasons.

After reach home, there will be lots of homework because Secondary School and Primary School are so much different. CCA will tire them out too and most feel too sleepy when reach home. Usually most schools CCA is at least twice a week, some CCA up to 5 days a week. When test or exam coming, its more tiring and stress level goes up triple. For Nush, depends on how involve the student and what kind of activities. When approaching to Sports Day or competitions, students will have to stay back and it will be very tiring months. Top school always tends to want their students to top in competitions too and get maximum trophies for the school so grinding the students are normality.

You have to judge if your child is very hyper discipline if one way travel time is up to 1.5 hours. I dont advise one way travel time is more than 1.5 hours because the student usually cannot cope when to and fro travel time is 3 hours daily. Many of the drop outs are due to travel time. All the top schools students tends to doze off during lessons without realizing it. The teachers sometimes will wake them but later ignored when they dozed off again. The teachers know their students are tired but this is the way of life in top schools. Time is essence in secondary school days especially top schools. Every year, many even GEP students from Primary Schools to IP schools ended up drop outs and went to other JC nearer to home. So its not necessary all top students will make it but rather on the student with extreme self discipline and less travel time to avoid over tiring. Another nightmare is after being pushed to another JC, the lives are like being sacked from a company and you start afresh being known as kick-out student. Sadly, every new student will be questioned by their peers.

You must imagine if you travel 1.5 hours to work by public transport and back another 1.5 hours, can you cope? Studying in top schools have triple stress than working. Furthermore the students must attend PE classes, sports, CCA, but working environment dont need real physical strength, unless you are a contruction labourer.
