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

Hi all, i am new to this forum... and am interested to share my displeasure on the caterer too. My son also experience stomach ache last week.

I have been reading the complains on the food the caterer provide. The caterer should not provide packet drinks and tibits in their meal. I believe all parents will discourage their children to buy tibits during their recess. Why can't they provide the main course and a packet if milk or Milo instead. Why are we paying for the packet of plain water when they too have brought their water to school. Hope the principal will feed back to us.

The principal addressed the parents’ concerns on catered food during the Parents’ Meeting on 18 Jan. They had spoken to the caterer with regards to the quality of food catered.


There was no Q&A. If not I would like to ask the following question.

1. Was Nonya Manis awarded the catering last year? If yes, was the quality of food the same? Did the parents of last year’s P1 give any feedback regarding the food? Or was it just us, the parents of this year’s P1, who are more demanding?

2. If there was already negative feedback for Nonya Manis, why are we awarding the catering contract to them again?

Anyway, now that my DS is bringing home food, he is eating more and there is no more complaint of stomache. Hope the food is now ok for those parents whose DS are still on the catering scheme.

My son is now in P5. Nonya Manis has been the caterer since he entered the school. Though son complained about food, I never really bothered to investigate but I am aware that he skipped eating altogether sometimes.

The food is not healthy in our eyes. But on Tuesday my son was asking ne why we cannot prepare food like his school. He always spit our home cooked food into the toilet or kicked up a big fuss. So if he eats something, I’m

happy already.

Are you sure he prefers the catered food? My son complains and told me he only eat portion not all... He hated the mui fan.

I'm really contemplating to stop the catering..... the vegetable they gave today was only 2 slices of cucumber!

Can anyone advise what else was covered during the Parents’ Meeting? My husband was working and only arrived after 7pm so did not get to hear anything.

Seriously, he did not miss much. I found it a waste of time going down. The Principal only addressed the concern of food catering and the anxiety of some parents regarding assessment in the hall. He could have simply wrote us a letter or email. There was no question and answer session. It is not a dialouge session. More like a monolouge to me.

In class, the FT went through some important info which mostly we already knew.
