Wow! 6am is not bad! I have to wake up at 5.30am and prepare things coz ds school bus picks him up at 6.35am! Got to start practicing waking up earlier a few days ahead of school re-open! Now he wakes up like between 9am to 11am! :lol:

we decided not to take school bus because of that… saves about 30min

[catmum]

Thought of that before, but we don't drive, so better to let him take school bus 2-way.


Oh, by the way, some parents of the school in this thread noticed that I'm also putting up post for a Blog shop call \"Simply Cute!\", selling ladies' accessories and cute wooden stationeries. They asked whether got special discount or not, for having ds in same school. :lol:

Well, since we're \"one family\", my 2 sis-in-laws (store run by 3 of us) agreed to give special discount to CHS parents and even teachers (if you're watching this thread!)

Just browse the blog at http://www.simplycute00.blogspot.com/ and email to [email protected] or PM me here for your orders (indicate CHS parents/teachers) and I'll let you know how much discount or free gifts will be given for your orders, ok?

Thanks and Merry Christmas! :love:

Hi parents, may I know if I can drop off and pick up inside the school, or do I drop & pick up my son along Bishan St 22?

Street 22 gate is Secondary side and a long walk to Primary.


Street 24 gate is Primary side and nearer, but Street 22 is quite congested.

Think is before 6.30 am (if I am not wrong) can go in from Street 22 gate, after cannot, only outside either gates.

All cars are allowed to enter from St22 and drop kids off at primary school porch but there is always a long queue to get in and out, especially after 6.45am. When it rains, traffic comes to almost a standstill at St22! Alighting outside gate at St 24 is a better alternative. The Pemimpin side gate is even better. There will usually be 2 ladies there waiting to help open the door and provide umbrellas when it rains. The above applies to the past years that I've seen. Not sure if they will change any traffic arrangements next year.
As for picking kids up, cars are not allowed into the school until 2pm. This is to facilitate the school buses to leave. Cars can either wait along St24 or at the multi storey carpark next to the school.

Oh ya, still got Pemimpin side.


ST22/24 time not sure, but being block outside before.

[NicHei]

Pemimpin side gate is better… I normally reach there about 7am, just drop and go and the 2 ladies there are very helpful

Thanks parents. Another question - do u throw the school shirt in the washing machine together with the metal buttons, or have to remove them each time?

[JonC]

Aiyo, same question / answer repeat and repeat.


Can pls read this thread?

There is also sewing tips here.

Anyway, during my days, poor, so 1 set change and change. My DS, 1 shirt 1 set, sew and wash.
