Hi Shizta,


Thank you very much for the information. It sure helps. Do you have any idea Kellock provides the transport to fetch the children to the PAP coummunity foundation student care after school?

Hi shizta,


Thanks a lot for your information. You are very resourceful. I did not get the school bus form that day. Probably, need to get one during the orientation day.

Hi, hve been busy the last few days thus didn't check the forum. Shizta, you are indeed resourceful.


Regarding the sch bus thingy, the lady told me the bus operator will send a representative during orientation day. We can then post all our questions to him. I'll be taking one way trip.. wonder if still need to pay full price.

I havn't got time to check my letterbox for the confirmation. Just very thankful we need not go through balloting.

thanks for the compliments :oops: . actually some of the info are from other threads which i've been reading even before i joined as a member. then some concerns me so have to do research :lol:


my girl also taking single schoolbus trip. the cost will not be the same as 2 way but it will definitely b more than half of the 2 way fee.

eg. if 2 way is $100, 1 way may be $60 or $70

Bus operater contact is mdm eileen 9631 6628 but accordingly to her price for next yr is not out yet.

wonder how long will be the orientation n is it limit to 1 parent only ?

[Maozai]

Not sure on the duration of the orientation too… Do not think it’ll be too long right? I’m just wondering where to park on that day. Its sure going to be crowded and I’m sure there’ll be plenty of cars and not that many lots available.

hello all,


Hope you dun mind, it may be a bit too early to join cos my gal will only be there 2 years later
Planning to enrol her under 2A(2) next year, even tho i stay w/i 1km of Nanhua. Hoping to get some good feedback prior her enrolment and maybe meet some potential parents :rahrah:

Hi Tinkerbell,
My daughter was an ex student of the school (even tho I am within 1km of Henry Park!)and I am quite involved in the school. Happy to provide you with objective feedback.
Why are you choosing this relatively unknown school?[/b]

Hi Maizai,
Orientation is usually about 2-3 hours (especilly if you intend to buy books, etc) I think. I'm no sure if it will be the case this year, but the school may have arrangements with St Teresa's church next door to allow parents to park there. The side gate is vey close by. Otherwise, there are many lots in the HDB apartments just adjacent to the school.

[tinkerbell]

hihi, thanks thanks. will pm you.

Hi Kiasu-not! Glad to see someone whose child has been with Kellock.


I just received all the admin forms and book list from Kellock today. We can start buying books this wed-fri. I'm just wondering why can't they send us the forms earlier. Not sure I can take leave in such a short notice.

Btw, on the book list, there's this compulsory mechanical pencil with blue lead. Kiasu-not, can you share with us why do we need to buy that? Is the pencil special other than its using a blue lead? Cos I doubt my daughter knows how to use a mechanical pencil. She'll break the lead all the time cos she's using a lot of strength when doing writing.
