Hi Kelsy,


Appreciated your views. It has helped me to decide and just paid $150 one time alumini registration fee, 80 hours definitely worth more than $150 so it is super worth it.

My son shall go to RSS in 2015 despite the long journey from my current place, Woodlands to Bedok…i have to ferry him to and forth. At least i can secure a place for him in a good school.

Wow, woodlands to bedok ? Well, I have no doubt RSS is a good school, but the distance is kind of far, very far indeed. Do think twice… JMHO

[phtthp]

Bedok to Woodlands extremely far !

your poor young son at P1 cannot tahan. Is too far.

don’t think got school bus fetch kids from Bedok to Woodlands.
even if you drive - one way itself make you very tired, not to mention both ways.
seriously need to re-consider. Shift down nearer to RSS.

Anyone read about the school bully in our school in \" Wan Bao \" Yesterday ? Wonder which P6 class is he in ? Apparently, per the report, this boy has been a regular terror. Hope the school takes serious action against him. School Bully ? I definitely condone against such barbaric behaviour :nunchuk:

And DS said the principal din even breathe a single word during assembly. I thought the principal should alert the kids about school bully, and at the same time tell the school bullies (who had yet to surface up) to think about the consequences. In the case that was featured, the case has been reported to the police. Not sure how the police would take the case, but heard from someone that once police is in the picture, the school wont do anything to the bully .. hopefully there wont be anymore ard..

Just curious, what was the bully incidence about? I missed the newspaper report

Cannot really remember, think a P6 boy was going around pushing and shoving the younger kids around. However, I did not hear it from the school, but from the newspaper report. The beauty of this school is they do not condone any child. All children are given equal opportunity to shine and that explains why they do not stream students till P5 level. :hugs:

Hi, mommybumblebee,

My younger boy is going in at 2015 too. It may be fully morning session by then. Woodlands to Bedok by car is very fast. Have you considered any contingency plans should any of you are unable to fetch? Like what others mention, the distance can kill. Do not forget that you have to make 4 trips a day. Consider shifting nearer. Tampines, Bedok, east coast, chai Chee and kembangan are all possible choices.

Was so glad to find out that there's no streaming till P5. Some children are late boomers. Really unfair to stream (打入冷宮） too early.
Also glad to find out that the P1 children are not allocated classes based on reading proficiency.

Hi all RSS mummies/daddies,

I saw the sch bus arrangment is terrible, the kid left home at ard 11am and reach home ard 8pm!! pls email me any car pool arrangment from punggol to RSS [email protected]
TIA

Walnut, my son in P1 I also stay in Punggol, he took a school bus thru and flow, bus come at 11plus and reach home 7plus…

Hi pekopoko,


Happy to see your reply

I am in dilemma as to whether apply RSS in phase 2A2 or just apply punggol green (new school) which is just across the road.
Can give comments on whether the school bus timing is it acceptable? How long is the journey?
How much you are paying now? I called the school bus co., she told me this year is $160, next year will increase price, r u aware?
