Hi, can anyone provide feedback/info on the afterschool care service offered near the school? MTIA!

I called the school and they told me to check the yellow pages. According to them there isn't any near the school.

Hi joopjoop, I’m surprised with the info you gotten from the school! There is an after school care just opposite MSH. Its in the Bartley Christian Church itself. If I’m not wrong, the after school care is called TLC. Several of ds’ classmates goes there. They have their lunch in the school canteen and then takes a chartered bus over. Can’'t provide any other feedback as ds isn’t going there.

When I went to fetch ds after his Ti Zi Kue lessons (post sch ciriculum) during the earlier part of the year, I used to see a teacher walking the group of boys over to TLC.

Here's the reply I got from the school when I send an email. Anyway, I decided not to put my ds there as it was too far.

\"As to the nearest Before & After School Care, may I suggest you do a internet or yellow pages search? Apologies that we are unable to help you in this matter.

If you have further queries regarding P1 registration, you may call me at the number below.\"

joopjoop, I spoke to Karen just now to clarify the info on After School Care run by TCL at Bartley Christian Church. Karen confirmed that TLC is not an entity of Maris Stella. I am not sure about the distance you are referring to. I thot’ it may be a good idea as your ds cld go to TLC together with his friends, probably a few of his classmates are going there as well. As such, he has friends he is familiar with who could help to look after each other. You can even get in touch with a few of the parents & form a support group. In the meanwhile, Karen suggests that you could drop by TLC (which is just opposite the school) to take a look at the premises & have a better idea.

I found three phone numbers from an earlier post. Tried the first, no one picked up. Second’s not in use. Managed to get through to Mr Tan Say Beng at 9366 3882. If anyone else is also considering this option, can call to inquire. Will go down one afternoon to have a look.


We’re deciding between putting him in after school care near my workplace or with this centre so would be grateful for any comments/feedback from any parent with kid(s) with them…

Hellos - Maris Stella is a Catholic school - Bartley Christian Church is a Christian church - so confirmed not related. :lol:

Would like to know if anyone knows the fastest way to travel back to Tampines via public transport from Maris Stella? Please don't say taxi but if it is taxi, how much per trip?

[vicki]

Hellos Namie, you stay in Tampiness? I stay in Tiong Bahru -- haha -- i think i am very far from the school also -- will need to think of transport now that balloting is over!!


There was someone who said that he/ she is thinking of sending ds to town BASC -- wonder who this person is?? Maybe my boy may end up in the same school bus since town is quite near Tiong Bahru!

For Maris Stella, they take in P1s for badminton (through selection), table tennis, wushu and inline skating. But these are payable.

Hi Toffeev or any parent, can you tell us more how they do their badminton selection for P1? Must play with a proper badminton net (so high) or just play practice rallies without net? My son is entering P1 next year, and he really wants to play...
