Err -- why good news? i actually tot it was quite a good scheme.My dh noticed the high panels in front of the stalls too. I wasn't looking closely...maybe they don't sell soupy dishes?
Good news about the catered food system being scrapped. Didn't really talk to anyone today, just wanted to get it over and done with. My son enjoyed himself though. He made countless 'friends' (none of whose names he knows).

actually i thot it was a gd scheme too, as it will be safer for the young children to eat inside classrm. my boy is so sotong and small sized. he will prob just buy from vending mach the juices and eat all the fried snacks, not proper meals as he isnt a rice-lovg person. but i guess they have to grow up just like all other kids in other schools

Huh? They are scrapping the catered food scheme? I thought they had it as the canteen was too small? How are the P1s and P2s gonna fight with the bigger boys for food?
Alamak, now DS will have excuse to bring money and lose it, or worse, spend at the bookshop. And I would need to worry about the money getting stolen or extorted by "gangster" boys.
And packing food is too troublesome. He hates sandwiches and I don’t want to cook in the mornings.
Bring the scheme back! -
Can we all send in our petition to bring the catered food scheme back? Who to send to?

I noticed that there was no counter for the catered lunch & thought something was amiss. We were then told during the briefing that the school will be implementing staggered lunch hour for next year. I then asked one of the staff and he replied -- no more catered lunch.Huh? They are scrapping the catered food scheme? I thought they had it as the canteen was too small?

Different type of worry....sigh

u mean staggered lunch? wat abt recess? also staggered recess?
maybe parents who want catered food can email to the admin.
i think catering is ok so long they willing to change the vendor. -
theft or loss of $ cant be prevented but u can get ur boy to put emergency $ in the other pocket. but extortion?? wow, really makes me worried. hope the staggering means the older boys are in different timing

I feel differently. I think it’s a good opportunity for the kids to learn independence and not remain mollycoddled. They’ll spill food, overspend, buy rubbish…for a while. But they’ll learn to be more careful and look after themselves better in the long run.
How many schools cater food for their P1s anyway. Most P1 kids around the country buy their own food.
Except for the glass panels issue, I actually prefer for them to buy their own food. -
Btw, for all DS going P1 who are smaller built. I was told that the size 26 PE shorts will come in about 2 weeks time. Will update once I get confirmation.

by the way, is those thomas bag too childish for P1 kids already?
and since they have lockers, is there still a need to buy those big ergo bags like SPI or Lego bags? thinkg of a smaller and lighter bag cos my boy so skinny
