… if they were at the orientation last sat, I bet they won’t be that mean to us right?


I have to call them and see whether mine is bad or not… sianzzzzz…[/quote]

I think only MCS knows the reason why they weren’t there last Sat as they were also informed at the 11th hour to not having to be there.

Good Luck

Dear Preciousmoments,

i just wanted to ask you about the school bus, he was indeed very uncooperative and refused to take DD to study care where is just next to the school, DH was so frustrated talking to bus driver, we also don't know how now?

Dear parents,
do you know any other bus route will go balestier road? please let me know, actually i was told by the operation manager from school that the principle told all school bus drivers not to come to disturb parents, sigh.. the principle wasn't there, how would she know we're being disturbed? it's indeed a big trouble if the school bus driver not to come, i'm quite disappointed with this principle, orientation is a big day to us, what kind of reason can she excuse herself not coming???

The bus driver who ply the route around my area happens to b the boss! He was so uncooperative. Called him twice n both times he was unpleasant. Told him where we stay n he says he will only pick up from main road!! Main road, my gal might as well take the public bus. Told him we only want one way but willing to pay for both ways, he came up with so many excuses that he can't do 1 way. Gosh, he was so difficult, we decided to abandon the school bus plan. Big sigh!!

We probably have to let the school be aware of all these situations that we are facing… it’s really difficult to understand why the school is disorganized in the P1 orientation, considering the fact that they organize this every year right?? Surely the organization should get better over the years… apparently there are still much room for improvements…

Hi all,


Yes, must say that Sat's event was a bit messy.

DD is in 1 Compassion

Till today, I am not sure if the 3 ladies who assisted us with the forms are DD's trs... They seemed to be very cold. At one point, one parent asked if they are the admin staff, one replied \"we are trs\" but no further elaboration or rather introduction of their actual roles.

??

Hi chergaby,

My gal is also in 1 Compassion and she mentioned that her form teacher is Mrs Sarah Tan, one of the teachers who helped us with the forms. What's your gal's S/N? My gal is No.27.

Same for me, they expect us to walk 100m down to opposite bishan interchange as pick up point. I asked wat if rains? She said just wait inside shelter till bus come... Zzzzzzzzzzz... Are we expecting too much for them to drive near our carpark entrance?
Btw, the lady knew my unit number when I told her my blk. She claimed that the school admin gave them the address of all students...

Hi LLXO4


Great! But we will be away from this weekend and back on the 2nd week of Dec. Maybe we can organise something in Mid-Dec
Or you may want to go ahead and meet up with the other mothers and their girls

Hi, I am going away for 2 weeks after 18 dec. Will u be available any dates before that? If not, we can meet up on 1st day of school. I will try to arrange a date to fit everyone... The more the merrier..

Hi lvkt, it was indeed a torture talking to the bus driver. Unfortunately, he's the only driver who ply our area! We tried calling 2 other drivers who may drive near our area, but they referred us back to Mr Neo. They do not overlap bus routes. Which part of balestier do u stay? Nearer whampoa or nearer Thomson or in the middle?

Called the bus vendor main line, lady picked the call n she said just let me know where you stay n she will arrange which vehicle no will take care the route to the destination, althou not really happy with the unpleasant lady but at least settle the transport problem...

The school has no authority to release such P&C info to any vendors without parent's permission! Especially since the bus vendor is not a staff of the school!

You should feedback to the school and CC a copy to MOE. This is totally unacceptable!

Callie Tan:

Thanks for your compliments...old liao lah, hehehe....

It's easier to look out for you cos we are in the same class mah...

Ya a bit boring that the bus vendors weren't at orientation, thought can settle this thingy there and then. So now I am lost... should I wait for call or what???

Tik u better call then wait.
