Hi Ivy,


I managed to get the bus vendor after calling the school. The school gave me two handphone number instead. Yes the bus vendor told me the price has increased another $10 for two ways. But for my case which is only one ways, the increase is $14! The vendor cited it was due to smaller bus and seat belt. But the bus my DS took this year is also not big bus and already equipped with seat belt. But I am not sure if every kid gets a seat with the previous vendor. It seems like the school knows of the price increase when I called up the school just now. I also not sure who to feedback on this. Sigh. When only one bus vendor is allowed to ferry the students, parents like us is helpless when it comes to fee increase :-(.

Hi rejoice137,

Wow, only 1 way cost $14.00 extra? There was news that school bus fees will not increase in the newspapers. You can check it out if you want to. The reason that they gave me was the same. I insist on paying the old fees and they decided to use a big bus 23 seater instead. Did you agree to pay the extra? The school General Manager can't make decisions and he left everything to the bus operator. I must call the school again and maybe ask to speak with the Principal. Wish me luck.

Hi Ivy,


The guy told me the 24 seater is a small bus! The bus my DS took was the small bus that was different from those they took for excursion. And already had seat belt. Worse case is that the previous vendor already increase fee by $10 middle of this year. For my case it was a wooing $22 increase from this year Jan to next year Jan!! Did u manage to call the school and talk to the principal? Let me know and I can call her too if need.

Hi all,


Tomorrow is The Day. I wish you all a good night rest and for parents with P1 kids, I wish that all will go well tomorrow.

Hi Concern_mum, one of the parents sent the kid to Anianas. You can read up more details on page 17 to 19.

Hi Ivy,
I decided not to let my DS take school bus. The teacher from the student care he is attending will pick him up instead. I hope that way he will get to student care earlier to have a good rest in the afternoon.

Hi Astee,
I am going to miss having lunch with my kids too. Are you going to pack lunch for your P2 DS or let him buy from canteen?

Hi Rejoice,


I am planning to pack a few days of lunches for them as they may be tired of Canteen food for the four days of schools.

Cheers,
Astee

Hi Astee,


Can I ask you a favor? The book store has run out of picture composition for Chinese. I found someone selling it at KSP market space. However, I am not sure if it is the right one. Can I check with you if the book is from 胜友书局 and the title in Chinese is 陈老师教看图写话by 陈彦？thank you.

Hi Rejoice,


Just checked my son's bag and i believed the FT had collected the book and kept it, so i cannot confirm your question. If you can wait, i can check for you with the school tomorrow when i deliver lunch or fetch them afterschool.

Thanks Astee, hope that is not too troublesome for you. I will check with my DS as well when in fetch him from the student care.

[rejoice137]

Hi Astee,


I asked my DS just now and found out that the school uses a different one from the one selling by the KSP parents. So look like I need to try my luck at the bookstore tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

One thing I need to find out from you is the remedial and enrichment classes on Thursday afternoon. That is not applicable for every student right? I also notice that the lunch hour on Thursday has been moved to 12:15 pm instead of 12:45pm. That mean the kids get out of school on 12:15pm on Thursday?

Thanks.

Hi Rejoice,


According to my girl (P4) timetable, those whom are supposed to stay back for remedial/enrichment lesson will receive notice from the school and the lessons will commence on 3rd week of this month, if i remembered correctly.

As for Thursday, according to the last letter issued by the Principal, Thursday release hour is 12.30pm, so i will standby to fetch my children at 12.30pm. if the classes are release early, like 12.15pm, i will ask my children to wait a while for me.

A few confusion this week but starting part is alway difficult, once the routine set in place, it will flow smoothly....keke.

Cheers,
astee
