At beginning od the term, the time table not fixed, DS has to bring lot's of books and the SPI bgg was super-heavy. I also have a trouble lifting it up. Only last term, then the the FT let them put more bools in the locker, and the load lightened to 1 to 2 books.

But on days when he need to bring back thick files, it becomes heavy again.
Maybe the fabric tyoe is better.

Anyway, he said that sone of his classmates got those schoolbags with wheels and it is easier to \"pull\" the bag from schoolbus to Arena. I explained to him that it is difficult to drag this kind of bag up the stairways when his is promoted to classroom upstaair next year. He replied that got lift lah..Oops.. I haven't been to his school b4 ... :oops:

Fotunately, his bag is not so much stuffs these days

Oh they have lift at BTPS? Wow.. Maybe I should decide what kind of bags to buy after Orientation Day.. May wanna get him one with wheels.

Hi, although there is lift, students are not allowed to use them unless they obtain prior permission from the teachers.
So, you may have to take that into consideration when choosing the bag for your child.

The lift is only for teachers and their helpers (ie help teachers carry books and boxes). Not for students' daily use.


I do find the schoolbag extremely heavy. It could also be that the kids do not know which books they can leave at home/in lockers. P1 kids are still very \"blur\".

Can I also check if P1 kids in BTPS use any of those Chinese digital dictionary?

Been thinking of getting one as my Chinese is hopeless and I also wanna help my soon to be P1 girl. I heard some schools use them, right? And the schools also use certain brands too right?

Hi parents,


My DS will also be in P1 Adaptability. Hope to meet up with you all too!

Hi,


My son has been registered in BTPS 2012. As we stay in the Farrer Park estate, which is outside of 5km from the school, the school bus could not take my son. Any parents who stays in Newton, Novena, Kampong Java interested in car pool arrangement?

Is indeed far. We were within 1km of our choice school for him but we were balloted out. Sigh..

And we did not want to put him in just any school around our neighborhood and thus BTPS. We are really hoping to find parents that we can car pool with.

My boy will be in Compassion.

Hi Jo,

My son will be in Compassion too. I was so worried about getting him to spell his class, so immediately taught him how to spell \"Compassion\" once I knew about his class. Thank god, he has no problem in learning it.

Mine situation is pretty the same as yours, we were balloted out from our 1st choice, and 2nd best - BTPS, though we stay in JW..

Did you go for the Admin day? I went a day later cos was out of town on that day.

I am looking forward to the Orientation day! Will be bringing my boy along for him to try out new uniforms and hopefully to make some new friends too.

Will you be bringing your boy on that day? It will be great for them to meet and know who their new friends would be in the new school. At least there will be familiar faces and friends they can look forward to at the start of new school. A new environment without familiar faces can be quite intimidating for a P1 child.

Hi Jo,


Yes of course, my boy will be there too. They will get to meet his form teacher and friends, and apparently, they will go to their classrooms and have a quick chat with their teachers.

Will also be getting the uniforms.

So how are you settling on your son’s transportation to and fro school?

Is your boy looking forward to joining BTPS? Mine is. He is pretty set to go there, as apparently, he likes the environment there.
