lots of students enter via that gate in the morning.

the bus stop also becomes a de facto drop off point

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.

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.

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 ....

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.

You know, a lot of times these are the parents who unconsciously contribute to jams in schools esp in the BT area. I have personally witnessed it for the last 9 years. Instead of taking a few seconds to stop, alight and go, they have to climb out of the car - either to open the door, carry the bag or sometimes for a public show of hug and kiss :grphug: . Traffic could have been a lot smoother.

[quote=\"Paddy Field\"]Anyone knows what their DS class is? And does RI band e students??

The classes are put up at the foyer outside the general office. The kids checked their classes first, then went straight to their respective classrooms at the Yusof Ishak Block (the block where the CCAs booths were displayed during the Open House). There were seniors boys around to guide the junior boys. All was systematic and in order, so not to worry, paddy. I'm sure your boy will be fine. Are you picking up your boy after school today?

Yes .. Will be bringing him out for lunch n showing him how to take public transport back. Wonder when their ezlink card will be ready for them to use those gates which need the card to assess.
