Hi everyone,


I received my orientation pack, my dd will be in P1 Joy next year. I don't think they have banding in P1 since the classes are already allocated.

Any mummies with dd in P1 Joy next year?

My younger ger will be in P1 Devotion next year. No banding in P1 .. the class will move up together to P2.

Hi All!

My little girl is in P1 Grace next year!! So excited!

RE: PARKING
Don't think, we will be allow to park in the school due to limited space.
Just wonder, where can we park?
Anyone can enlighten me?

RE: SCHOOL SHOE
Are there any limits to what kind of school shoe?
Is it strictly shoe-lace type or there is no restriction?

Thanks in advance!

Dear mistrymum,

May I know what is the problem that you have encountered? Can share with us? Wow...I think must have caused you alot of headache if not will not let your child take MRT. It is a long journey back home yah. Yes, I am stressed over the timing in the morning as it maybe too early for my child. My child is used to taking school bus. H/w hubby wants to send her on his own. My husband drives super fast and I am also worried. He has tried taking just 25 mins to dr from woodlands down to SMPS.

Busy with PSLE ... no COP but also must get good grades.

Like the other mummy mentioned, CCA bus leaves school about 4.30pm and my girl used to be home by 5.15pm.

This year, my girl was ask to take Yishun or Woodlands or Bt Batok/Hillview depending on the number of girls on the bus !!!! My poor girl ever arrived home after 6pm. I have highlighted the issue with RS, then they put her on the Yishun bus (arriving home around 5.45pm) but after a while, it happens all over again. Now by MRT, my girl takes less than 1 hr to reach home (including the walk down from the school). My regular bus uncle (BUS 28 ) is good.

The SMPS girls are very indpendent and many do travel home/tuition by themselves. I do keep track of my girl whereabouts with the handphone. Like she already on the MRT , who is she walking down with.

Hi happy me,


I do drive my girl to school when the need arise, esp this year.

I would leave CCK (via woodlands road. KJE, BKe, PIE and exit stevens Rd) before 6.40am, I can reach the SMPS around 7.10am with no traffic jams. This is a Blessing if it happens. There is always heavy traffic at the BKE/PIE exit, Steven Exit and outside SMPS.

cheers,

received the letter from RS Transport for renewal. it says school bus fee likely to rise by 20% next yr…

Dear Mistymum, do you mean they have a bus specially for yishun, woodlands and other areas. Does that mean the bus just moves around that area only? I am glad that with the use of MRT, things have been much better. I agree with you that singapore no matter how big is still convenient as we have good public transport system. Thanks alot for your info on the bus system.

Btw, can i check with you what assessment books do you use to prepare your child? I heard that SMPS is using stella as well as my pals?

Can I know how many students do they take per bus? Is it because of the rise in petrol and the seat belts that is why they have increase in their fee?

Dear mistymum,

Does the school stress alot on cca or academic now that there are so much changes in MOE?

Btw, are you an old girl from SMPS? Can advise me or is there any mummies that can advise me what should one bring for the registration to show that you are an old girl from SMPS? Report books?

Thank you in advance! :lol:

Can i check
