Hi,


I drove by MCS at about 6.40p.m. yesterday. There were so many cars still waiting along the roadside. Now, I am not so sure if my hubby and I should be sending and picking up our girl from school. I was thinking that it might take a longer time for our DD2 to get home if she gets picked up from school by us. She is keen to take the school bus.

Does anyone have any info about how the school bus system works and how efficient it is?

Tks for info :).

Gin, I am not entirely certain of the bus route, but I know the MCS girl who lives in my block gets up the bus at 11.40am and arrives home around 7.05 or 7.10pm. I think our area is relatively near enough to the school, so the drop off shouldn't be too late, and its probably the same school bus that plys the entire area. I think its only after the school buses go off that parents are allowed to drive up to pick their kids, if I'm not wrong? If your dd takes the bus, my dd and her can keep each other company

I am staying at Bishan St 23 and school bus will be here around 11.50 to pick my girl to school. She will arrives home around 6.55pm. So to me is consider quite efficient as the school ends at 6.30pm. By the way, do u know that the school ends 1 hr earlier on friday? If you going to pick ur DD up, then u have to make sure u can reach there early.

Yeah, really din see u all for long time. hehe.


DD doing pretty well this Term 3 as in she is able to cope better. Din hear her complain much now when she does her homework. Somehow feels that the teachers are giving less homework this term. And YES! Finally CA2 is over. Woohoo! Told my DD that we should go and have some fun. hahah.

How abt u and your DD? How is she coping with the PSLE?

The school will sent out letters on textbook list, uniforms and bus transport list. You may order the textbooks from the web. As for the uniforms, there will be forms to fill up and you will need to bring it to the vendor at Toa Payoh to purchase the uniforms.

Hi Funkymonkey,


How is your DD doing so far? I heard from my girl that she is in the same group as your DD.
