Holy Innocents' Primary

[MMM]

Hi,


My kids don’t go to HIPS but it’s very near our house.

What about parking at those HDB flats (earliest HDB in hougang) near the school??? It’s a short walk to the school. There are also many landed properties opposite the school at hai sing cres? I am not sure if it is fine to park outside the houses or they will put the bins there to prevent people from parking.

Ya… there are many lanaded properties around there… the road is one way traffic only (one in & one out)… thats why i wonder if all parents will to park along the roadside to wait for their kids then there sure be chaos… haha… I need to be prepare in case 1 day i need to drive there & i wonder how…

Any parents got any idea of where to park car when sending & fetching your child? Ytd i went to the school, they told me that cars cannot go in except raining days we can drop them at the drop off point..

There is a very big carpark behind the school. Think is Gate B.

I think i'll need to find a day & go down survey the surrounding area 1st..

I would like to seek advice if any parents here were PV prior to your kid’s admission to the school?


Any idea when they will go single session? Is it partial session now?

My kids are fm HIPS. There is a church opposite the school. We usually park there & it is foc. If you are only sending & fetching your child, you can park along the road side (Lor Low Koon) though they do not encourage. Everybody is doing that including me. I only park at the church if I need to attend some talks/ceremony in the school.

So far, parking along the roadside does not create any chaos. I've been doing that all this while. Of course, occasionally a bit chaotic la but very seldom. We are so expert & cooperative to know when to give way to the oncoming vehicle cos' after parking along both sides of the road, only 1 lane left to move. The school will issue letter once in a while to discourge parents from parking along the roadside due to complaints from the residents nearby but doesn't work, everybody still park there. Alternatively, you can park at the HDB carpark which is at Gate B (open only during going to sch & dismissal time) whereas Main Gate is open all the time.

P1 & P2 in the pm session & P3-P6 am. Don't think they will go single session yet.

pinky88,


thanks for your quick reply. Just wondering if there is a student care centre nearby so that kid can be there to finish up the homework and whether there will be coaching?

Btw, are there many homework for P1? Do they have to go to school early or stay back for classes or events? Just thinking of logistic
