Hey, same! If you have any question, feel free to ask. My dd has been in this school from p1 but I cannot profess to know everything about the school. Always learning, that's my motto.

Dont worry, Im sure the school believes yr child can cope before accepting her. I guess youre worried abt her being stressed out.

Thank so much!! Felt so much better. Just to check how is the traffic and where should I wait for my girl???

For pick up, traffic can get quite heavy along Hillcrest Road from 15 min before gate opening times. The gate opens at 1.30 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays and 1pm on the other days (assuming no change from 2010). If you are not driving in, you can wait for your daughter just outside the guardhouse. She will walk out to meet you. If it rains, parents etc will be allowed in to wait in the tuckshop.


If you are driving in, cars will be allowed in 10 min after the gate opens. The 10 min is to allow the school buses to move off first. The car queue can snarl out onto Dunearn Road and it is common for drivers who want to turn into Hillcrest Road from Dunearn Road to do so from the middle lane.

Just wanted to mention that for morning drop off, do send your daughter in before the gate closes at 7.20 am to avoid getting her booked by the prefects.

Hope the above info helps. You and your daughter will get used to the routine in no time at all!

Think the rules on uniform, hair, shoes etc can be found in the student handbook which I haven't bought this year (which is in the booklist). However, I believe their shoes need to be white shoes only. I don't see students wearing sports shoes but if there is a medical reason for needing to wear them (eg for better arch support), you should be able to get clearance for that.
