just curious, what is the dismissal time like at MS?

do the bus charge extra money on cca/remedial/enrichment days? do such days end at 4pm?

Hi Cherrygal - did you put your boy in TLC for the student care? I kindof noticed the names of boys going to TLC on the class notice board!! Wonder if this is related to the school or something?!


Im very happy with my school bus!! The timing is cool - almost the same as if we drove!! We did a test today. I brought ds down and waited for the bus - then bye bye him - and dh drove me down to the school - dropped me off on the opposite side of the road (so that he can go back at Serangoon Central) - i walked into school and waited for his bus at the waiting area and its only a 5mins wait!! So driving time almost = school bus time!!

Going home was the same!! As in i reach the \"drop off\" point abt 5 mins before he came back! My mil was also surprised by the \"efficiency\" of the bus!!

Lets see what happens 2ml....

At 7.15am, my son told me he was hungry. I was happy cos he did not like to eat and always claimed to be full. Then during recess, he threw away half his rice, finished the drink and ate half a pack of crackers! I don't like the crackers and the drink should be given after meal.

is it the kids eat inside the classroom? got any teacher to supervise them during recess or they are just left alone and choose not to eat the catered food if they dont like that? if its like that then still better to tabao some own food to eat in the classrm

bigfoot, i guess if u hv a daughter, wld aim for st nicks....

My DW worried abt P1 if we have a daughter cos her Pri Sch was in Bukit Merah area. Yes, St Nicks would be good but we may have to go in at Phase 2C and U know what will happen if we are unsuccessful. Furthermore, we are more than 2 km from St Nicks. Nearest would be Ai Tong (1-2km). Anyway, like I said, it is a happy problem for me. Haha.

hi bigfoot, i thot u qualify in 2b for st nick?
for ai tong, ballotg is within 1km. so i think u cant aim for that. got to aim for marymt convent or kuo chuan, i assuming u stay in bishan. if u move to serangoon, can try PLMGS if u hv a gal

one thing i dont like abt st nick is the late dismissal for my girl. mon, wed, thu is 1.45pm. super late. if i were to shift becos of MS, my girl comes hm even later. lunch is almost 3pm. sigh. so i m still hesitating. what is the dismissal time at MS?

U mean you will try for balloting for ds2 for CHS under 2B? Then if cant get in how??

For me - def all 3 boys will be in MS liao!! Then i can get ds1 to take care of ds2 and ds3!!

Actually if the chance is good, I will try CHS for DS2. This is purely for the sake of convenient. But most likely he'll end up in MSH as well because of the popularity of CHS. Dun get wrong, we love MSH. It is just the distance. Imagine the saving in schoolbus service cost and the extra 30 min of sleep every morning. For now, we will focus on DS1 in MSH first.

maybe bigfoot can try CHS at 2b for ds2. if fail, then appeal to MSH cos got elder bro there altho he missed the earlier phase for siblings.....

my boy ate very slowly in class ytd. Brought the drink and snack back. They never follow the menu ytd so will see how today. hubby with him now.


his uniform got a few stains caused y the under-table rusts!!!

My boy also got PE on Mondays, so maybe the time-table is quite standard across the level. My school bus came at 5:55am but I'm really proud of ds1, he woke up without fuss, even easier than during K2 days when he slept until 7am+ This morning, he woke up at 4am :!: and couldnt go back to sleep so we ended up waiting downstairs at 5:45am liao He seems to really enjoy MS, :love: I saw him smiling and talking to his classmates in class too, so happy for him. He's usually a slow-eater too, but y'day he tucked into his food readily and finished it pretty quickly.

Yes, the kids eat inside the classroom, they will queue up to collect their food and then return to their seat to eat after saying grace. Y'day there were parent-volunteers fm the Parents Society supervising them to eat, next week don't know. My son is usually a very picky eater, if I tabao he probably has many, many ideas and objections, but he's ok with the catered food, don't know why, maybe just like to make mummy angry :x
