Hi Blurdaze,

Rem to update yourself in the list that Pat's mummies has created.
Time flies, the 2009 babies are coming to Pat soon :shock:

My DD is currently in toddler's class.
I only stayed on for the 1st day. In fact, the teachers from the other classes actually told me, I dont have to stay ard! I do feel awkward being the only parent that is hanging ard the school that day.

Since u will be joining in Jan, there should be some orientation whereby parents are welcome to hang around the school on the 1st 3 days. Lucky you!
For my case, i joined halfway, so no such privileges for me.

Halifax teachers shld be v experience in handling such separation anxiety problems, so dont worry.

Thanks for the reassurance. Trying to start her in D'story Club first so that she can get used to the place.

for the tanglin branch, i am told that there will be orientation in Dec, followed by the 3-day accompanied sessions when school starts in Jan…

Hi Preciousmoments,
I agree with debpch, 1.5hrs is too long.
In fact, the driver told me mine would be around 1 hour as he need to send those in orchard area home first.
1 hour is already very long to me.
For us, we dont have a choice as we are not able to pick her up on time.
Let's hope the school can have 1 more driver to cater to the north/north easteners

Currently they only have 2 driver for the morn- home to school route
As for the school to home route, there is
2 driver for the 12pm
1 or 2 driver for the 3pm
1 driver for the 5pm
Actually all in all, there is only 2 drivers. So they will come to and fro to pick kids from different sessions.

I agree, 1.5 hours on the school bus is much too long for a kid. Sigh, looks like I'll have to rush off from work everyday next year.

Crystalbelle, where do you stay for your bus journey to take 1 hour?

Can I check, after shower, do the kids change to new set of clothes or they wear what they wore in the mornings?

And for the older K1 and K2 children, do they still drink milk in school? School's milk or kid's own milk?

Forgot to clarify my queries with Tanya when we registered.

Hi,


Understand from Tanya that they provide UHT milk to all children. However, u can also bring ur own milk. They will also change into new clothes after shower.

Thanks Shiyunu! I forgot to ask all these impt questions.. was too busy admiring the surroundings.. :lol:

UHT milk is good, thats what my boy is drinking in his childcare now, only i have to supply it myself. Wow, changing into new sets of clothes after shower will mean that he'll need a lot of new clothes before he starts Pat's in January. He has been wearing uniform 5 days a week since he was 16 months old!
