LKVM:
Thats very low :celebrate: :thankyou:[/quote]Yes, but the bus is always so crowded :stupid: and my pick-up point here is the last stop so at certain days the bus came quite late (between 7.35-7.50am). Usual timing is between 7.20am-7.30am.Champion:
[quote=\"LKVM\"]Guys any idea how much is the bus fees?
For my child is $35/month and the distance is less than 3 mins drive to the school
. You may call this number 8182 8191 Eileen. She is in-charge of the school buses operation. -
Thank you for welcoming me. Great to know more parents here. Nvr expect the bus fee is low. I still thinking whether to book one way or both way. I have not move in to my house which I register. I will be staying near the JP there.
For mummies whose kids already study in CPS, is there any issue or problems from the boys home opposite the school? -
Wow, yes, very happy now the forum is so active.
about the uniforms, like champion, i also bought 2 sets each at first, then i also added another set in the 1st week but I added the formal shirt, not PE attire, because I only wanted to iron clothes once a week, so 3 shirts would be best. (2 days PE in a week, so only need to wear shirts 3x a week)
about cost, I can't remember exactly, but it was very cheap. $5 for shirt and $6 for shorts. something like that. I also bought socks from them cos it felt like it was good quality and it did last very long, till now, still very good.
about bus fees, mine are also $35 per month, but i live further than champion (near Jurong Point). i think the fees also depend on the size of bus. mine is also very big and hence the cost is shared among all the kids.
the downside is, there are many more stops along the way before it reaches the school. who knows, champion, maybe our kids are on the same bus?? haha
i pay $15 more per month for the CCA bus. i think it is very reasonable and cheap compared to what i pay for my kindy son (my 2nd boy). but hubby said cannot compare cos the other bus is smaller. naturally more ex.
oh yes, they are very reasonable also. for June, they didn't charge me for the CCA bus, i thought that's very nice of them.
And EVERY time i sms Eileen (champion gave her no above), she always replies. very responsible. i sms her when my son doesn't take school bus, so that the bus won't wait for him. -
oh sorry, forgot one more Q.
summergem, the books cost me about $115 and I bought everything cos hubby was very kiasu. i was going through the list trying to see if i could get any book from friends with older kids, but he said just buy all.
I didn’t buy all the optionals though, most of them are stationery that I already have, like colour pencils, crayons.
later i compared with other friends, $115 is very cheap for a full set. other school bookshops may charge more for the exercise books. -

So far, I don't hear of anything \"big\"Thank you for welcoming me. Great to know more parents here. Nvr expect the bus fee is low. I still thinking whether to book one way or both way. I have not move in to my house which I register. I will be staying near the JP there.
For mummies whose kids already study in CPS, is there any issue or problems from the boys home opposite the school? and I believe the security over at the Boys home is quite tight.

thank you, lkvm! can't wait for next year when all of you will start sharing anecdotes from school too!

It’s really good to have this thread. I also thinking to let my gal go to phonics class at The Frontier CC opposite JP. Anyone tried before? My gal has problems in spelling and I am afraid she could not catch up in P1. Or am I too kiasu, haha…

Haven’t tried any phonics classes, can’t comment.
Want to bring up an event…
My son brought home this flier from school.
It’s about the Mid Autumn Festival.
The school is celebrating it on 17 Sept, from 6pm to 8.30pm. It is a Friday.
It is open to guests as well, and it’s like a carnival where you can buy games stall coupons. $1 for 4 coupons I think.
And you can buy food coupons too. Some of the food stalls include Bubble tea, nachos, hotdogs…
My family is planning to go, bring the younger boy too, since most probably he’ll be studying there in future. Maybe even ask grandparents along…
If you purchase a kit, then it also includes NEWater, a lantern with candles etc etc… For guests, it costs $3 (inclusive of food and games coupons). For students, $2.
Asking champion etc, who are going?
For the students to be in P1 next year, if you want your child to have some fun in their future school and familiarise themselves, it’s a good opportunity to come too! -

Hi tjm,
Saw the flier yest nite and my gal has been pestering me to sign up for the whole family to go :lol: Last year, due to both my hubby and my work committment, we missed the opportunity to bring her there so this year she insisted we have to go . So am planning and arranging to go as I have another 2 kids to tag along with.
