Hi all

May I know how much pocket money do u give ur kids every week ?
does the sch allow the students to have their meal outside of the sch? Pls advice , Thk u

Ms Tay - in various threads you will see it's roughly $20-30. When the CCA schedule is out and if your son is taking 3rd language etc, it means that he will basically be staying back for lunch many days in the week. So depends on his commitments, how many lunches he takes per week, his appetite, the prices of food in RI etc. Don't forget your son is a growing boy and may eat more. Personally I suggest you start with ard $25-30 then adjust upwards accordingly and if need be when his schedules are finalized. I personally think when schedule is finalized and if he's practically in school everyday, a higher figure may be warranted. His friends may ask him to go Junction 8 :moneyflies: :moneyflies:
