Henry Park Primary

[cody]

First day of school …


Parents are allowed in school premises.
While children attend lessons, parents attend talks in the school hall.

Parents will be "dismissed" to witness their children experience their first recess.
Each P1 child was paired up with a P2 child as recess buddies.
Buddy system lasts for 1 week if I remember correctly.

When the school day ends, children going home by private transport will wait at the lobby outside the office.
Children going home by school bus assemble at Kids Zone.
(pls bear in mind these areas will change in 2012 when they move to the ex-RJC campus)


Day 2: parents are not allowed in the school premises.
Those who come are asked to wait Around the bus bay.
No accompaniment at recess time either.


If you are pressed for time, just take leave on day 1.
No leave? Just accompany your child for the first half of the school day will suffice.


Hope this helps!

regarding the name tag colour, it does not change yearly. I expect next year P1s to use brown tag ('inherited' from this year p6 cohort) which will be the cohort's colour til they leave the primary school.


I am heading to Bibi and Baba (the uniform supplier) to avoid crowd at the school premises ;))

Oops sorry! I was informed by the uniformed Aunty about the name tag.

Hi mummies,


I'm new here. My DD will be going to Pri 1 next year.
Anyone staying at north side(woodlands, Admiralty or sembawang).
Any school bus to HPPS?

Hi Shilo-milo,

My son ex-sch bus driver used to send 1 kid to woodland @ $200.
I once called a sch bus driver to drop off my son in AMK and for 1 way only he is charging $90. Morning and evening due to heavy traffic he does not provide the pick up/sending.

We also stayed in the north area. But so far it seems that there is no school bus going to the north. If you find the contact please share with me too. Thanks.

Hi,

My daughter will also be joining Henry Park next year
And, I've just received a letter from school informing me that she'll be in Primary 1J. Any other parents whose child will be going to the same class?

And, I understand that P1s are allowed to join CCA. But, when the child register for the CCA? cos my daughter loves Art and when she saw HPPS has Art Club, she gets so excited and can't wait to sign up.

Appreciate to hear from any mummies/daddies on my queries above.

Thanks!

Hi Kero,


Thanks for your info.
You are staying at the north?Which part? Is your kids still schooling at HPPS?
So how does your son goes to school everyday? Actually, my MIL stays at Holland Road but I do not want to trouble her. That is why I need to ferry her to and fro.
Surely, will sure with you if I have gotten the contact.

hi Kero,


Does it mean there's also no school bus going to Bishan, since AMK is very near Bishan?

Hi Shilo-milo,
Do let me know if u have any bus driver contact passing by Bishan too. I think I have the same issue with u. My mil lives in Clementi but also, don't want to trouble her too much.

Hi Dadelina,

my girl will be in 1I and I wonder how the allocation is done.

[dadelina]

Hi GPTeacher,

Yeah quotes curious on how the allocation is done too. And, based on the earlier post, buying of uniform and books will be done during the orientatio. But on the letter, it states buying of uniform 5/11 and books 12/11 or online.
Quite a hassle to come on three days instead of one day and settle all at ago, right?

[GPTeacher]

true,

but i actually prefer having the opportunity to go to the school before the actual orientation to avoid the rush and ‘madness’ on the actual day.

hehe…though the kids wont be back till 2013, it’s fun to ‘visit’ the school …to explore the compound
