Hi, I am new. Have been lurking reading your posts!


My son got into Rosyth. When we visited the holding site in AMK, we were told that there will be no orientation due to having just moved in. Was told to buy books, uniforms and turn up at the porch on the 3rd next month. When we got home, we realized that we didn't buy the report book and order the embroidered name for school shirt. So that's going to be another trip.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone know how many classes there will be for GEP next year for P4? And also how many kids from Rosyth got into GEP? Just curious...!

Cheers

Hi everyone I am new here. Just to share my DS got into Nan Hua. Please add me to the list.


We are not very near the school and will need to board school bus by 6am. With the move to a different school, DS will need to spend ~ additional 1.5 hours per day on school bus to and fro. Still thinking if there are other alternative to cut down his travelling time… We are near bt pnj area.

We are now waiting to buy textbooks and uniform etc next week when they are available for sale in school.

Also just wondering - are there assessments books that are more for preparing the child for GEP tests etc?

Have you bought the uniform and school books for your child? :roll:

Yup. Have u?
I couldn't get the PE uniform though as we have not been told DS's house.

Hi kitkit, we have similar problem
Son's school bus picking him up at 6.05am. I'm not so willing for him to get up so early too.

Hi, another mummy whose boy would be joining GEP in NH next yr. I am at CCK, hv the same concern with regards to travelling to NH. We r expected to wait for the sch bus @~6:10am. Heard there's a pte bus that wouldn't come so early. Any parent @CCK/Bt Panjang knows? Thanks.

Looks like many of us have similar problem.


May I ask, any of you going to let your child take the public transport to school? Or will you do that?

When I called up NH last wee, I was told the pte bus goes to areas which the main bus operator does not operate. I'm not sure how accurate this info is cos I have not verified it. You can call the school to ask for the contact no. of the pet bus operator and verify with them directly.

Just wondering is it feasible to do car pooling within cck/bt pnj area to NH?

Seems like quite a no of GEP kids from CCK/Bt Panjang going to NH next year. Distance is really is problem, I was told on some days they have to attend classes in the afternoon, e.g. PSLE, PSLE Oral, Listening Compre, etc, so have to send kids to school in the afternoon..... :sad:
