Can we cancel our order at this stage? If so I would like to cos the food is so sad! My son has been bringing home the jelly/solitary biscuit/cream puff. By the time he arrives home it's all squashed by his books.


I was thinking of giving him money to get fruits from the canteen then realised he's not even allowed there. !!

We called the caterer. They did not even ask why. I think many parents must have cancelled. Yes, they will refund the balance to you. I have not received it yet but I trust that they will do so.

So what will you be preparing for your kids then? Everyday, 5 days a week... oh my.....

I hope the issue can be resolved asap cos I really cannot imagine myself waking at 5+ to prepare his meal especially for Monday when we have to prepare lunch as well.

:!:My son also complained stomachache y’day morning. I dont think house T-shirt is for PAL, mine was told to wear every Wed but PAL is on Mon right?


BTW, anyone using TLC afterschool care? How is it? Do u hv contact no.?

since a few parents complained their kids tummyache, cant be due to the punching case. shd be the food. the catererer probably prepared the food very very early

For PALS lesson, students are encourage to wear House-T shirt and PE shorts. Not all classes conduct their PALS lesson on Monday, my son’s lesson is on a Wed.

what do they do in PALS?

Complaints aside, I think I cannot tahan having to wake up at 5am to cook his recess food. It would be too much of a hassle and sacrifice to prepare his food everyday.


The downside is, my ds doesn’t want to eat buns and sandwiches so I can’t just let him take a bun.

Those considering to prepare own food can go buy a thermal food warmer for your sons to take to school. You can put porridge, rice with meat n vege, chee cheong fun etc in it and it will keep warm for a few hours. That means you gotta cook very early in the morning.

Those intending to prepare rice-based dishes gotta cook it fresh and not use leftover rice from previous night coz bacteria grows on exposed rice within 2 hours. It can go bad and cause tummy ache.

Good luck!

It is the hassle that got most parents to sign up for the catering especially since the kids are not allowed to go to the canteen. I hope that the situation can get better after the VP talk to the caterer.

Sjij dun have catered food. P1 has to q up to buy food. First 4 days p5 will help to be big brother to help p1. I think it’s a better system than catered food. For catered food, we don’t know how they wash the ingredients and how they cook though.

Thanks for e info re caterer. I'll call first thing tmrw. Poor DS will hv a heavier bag to lug to sch but at least i know he'll be eating proper food

:lol:

I'm be attending the mtg- which class is yr boy from? Not bringing my boy cos I doubt he can keep quiet &/ or still thru'out the mtg!

we just pack light food. biscuits, sandwiches, bun from breadtalk, etc
for drinks we alternate between milo and smoo milk which he has been drinking since his nursery days.

dun think we will bring ds along too.. meaning one of us gotta stay at home to make sure he sleeps by 8pm.

the catered food and bullying is a concerned to me. wonder if i shd still put my boy in MS. if i do reg him, i will walk him home though. no sch bus. n tabao food for him. i hope no boys will snatch the food if they dont like the catered one.

shd tell the principal at the parent-teacher meeting in public. i m sure other parents will join in to voice their concerns abt the food.

catered food is a concern but bullying happens everywhere. there is no way we can avoid unless ur ds is big size and have the dun come mess with me face. lol... what we can do is to make sure he knows what to do when he felt threatened. we always teach our ds to be civic in handling such situation. but kids being kids, sometimes things may happen. just hope it won't be a big one if it ever happen.
