      From what I know most other schools try to arrange cca and lessons to end to meet sch bus timing or vice versa

      Yes, my DS's school CCA/lessons don't end so late unless there is special occasion or competition. Most CCA/extra lessons ends at 4:30pm. Students can request for early dismiss if their CCA end at 5pm & taking school bus. CCA that end at 5:45pm is consider very late for a primary school kid.

        My DD would be transferring to NYPS. Not too sure if I should buy all the textbooks, expecially for the Maths, since they should have a lot of handouts from the school. Anyone cares to share?

          OIC, 5.45 is kind of odd timing, too early for working parents to fetch and possible public transport may be too crowded. So if there is school transport would solve this headache.

            For such day, the kids normally stay at the void deck or canteen to do their homework or go kick football to exercise and relax a bit while waiting for their parents to fetch them after work. By P5 & 6, some usually walk to the bus stop outside school gate to take a bus home.

Also included in the letter are book list & stationery list as well as uniform and school bus contact details.
