Hi,


DS will be in P1-1.

Any idea what to wear for the orientation?
Heard from my friends that some schools required them to wear the uniform. What about SAPS?
Re-read the letter, dun think its stated, right?

Mommies of current students ... can help?

My DD is also in P1-1, along with her K2 classmate whom she is very close to.

I went down on 14th, got all the stuff in a box. Popular sizes of the uniforms are sold out at around 11 am, left PE attire. The name list had the houses listed. My DS is in house of peace - green PE attire. Ended up purchasing 2 sets of uniform, 2 sets of PE attire and 1 pair of school shoes from Blk 4XX.

If buy online (available from 9th) will get some free gifts but I think I rather settle everything early. I heard that even though Popular has discounts, some Popular stores may run out-of-stock for certain textbooks so the discounts may not be worth the trouble running around.

Hi,


Any OTHER bus companies?

The SAPS operator wants to charge $55 for single trip!

It charges $60 for full round-trips and only $5 less for single return-home trips. Is this what rest of market is charging?

Thanks.

Intend to send my DD in the morning to BASC which will send her to school right across the road at noon, so I only need to drive her to BASC in the morning but have the school bus send her back home.

I am wondering if it is possible for school bus to send her to St Anthony in the morning and for BASC teacher to fetch her from school and save me the trip down in the morning :idea:

No exams less stress for parents! Plus I have two 3-month old DSs to take care, definitely glad there isn't any exams! :lol:

I just checked with the school bus operator and they say will only know the price and time to pick up my son next week.


Anyone knows the total number of P1 classes next year?

I like the idea of no exam, cos my child cannot sit still in class. Wonder how are the P1 teachers would manage the child. Heard many horror stories of child cannot sit still or ask many questions in class from other school. A bit worry for him now.

My guess is 9 classes since there are 30 students per class totaling 270 places.

Where do you stay? Thought the price was quite fixed when enquired during orientation...

Yes, there will be 9 classes. And if not wrong, the bus fare will be a minimum of S$60. And it can go to as high as $130 if u are staying further away.
