My DH was also complaining of parents dropping their kids along bishan st 21 (lazy to turn in?) n causing a jam in e morning. I guess we r much better off as compared to those schools at bt timah. Their jam is definitely worse. Just bear with it n see if next week is better??

After dropping off ds and when passed by the street outside Cathelic high ... Wa it was jump up with buses and cars.... Lucky RI the street not as busy as tt....

Is it confirmed that \"Meeting Form Teacher\" is on this Friday 06.01.2012?

According to the green file we received on reporting day, yes, the meet the teacher session is on this Friday. It is quite convenient esp if u r picking your DS from camp cos meeting is at 6, pick up at 645.

:thankyou: Paddy Field.

Are most of the parents going for the meeting session?

Does anyone know if Gate 15 (located next to a bus stop) is opened in the morning? I'd like to drop off DS there tomorrow. This morning I was queuing behind 4 cars at the drop off point within the school and all 4 parents alighted from their cars to carry the bags out for their boys. My goodness, these aren't primary school kids!! :faint: I really don't want to waste my time waiting in queue if the majority of the parents are going to be behave like this. I have other schools to rush to after that.

lots of students enter via that gate in the morning.

the bus stop also becomes a de facto drop off point

So I think when the second car arrived and saw the first car parent came out to carry bag for her boy, she followed too. Then the third car parent followed the second car parent and the fourth car parent followed the third car parent.... Lucky the fifth car parent never follow the fourth car parent ... :rotflmao: .... Else there will be a big jam at Bishan st ....

What’s the reporting attire for tmr’s camp? I checked thru the file - only the reporting attire for the first day of school mentioned, but not the camp. Should I let ds put on his PE shirt and shorts? Which one? RI or primary sch one?

I think I saw from the camping list it stated in RI Pe attire and track shoes.

Thank you for the info. Will try that tomorrow. We reach quite early so there aren't many cars around that time, shouldn't cause any jams at all.

I thought these scenes only took place at primary schools. Oh wait, in primary schools the father/mother will alight from the car, kiss the darling goodbye, watch them walk into the school then slowly get back into the car and drive off. :rotflmao: So less jialat already lah. Now they're only helping them to carry the schoolbag.
