[Novena] Primary Schools

[toffee]

Hi everyone!


I’m also one excited mummy who will be registering my DD into scgs this year.
Can’t believe time flies past so quickly!
Just wanted to ask if anyone can share the morning traffic along bukit timah road.
Is it jam packed with cars? Any tips from experienced parents if we have to send via car?

Thanks a lot!

The traffic is very terrible…


It is better to walk if possible

Hopefully traffic will improve when the new MRT station is ready.

Thanks supermumto3 for your reply.


I haven't done any recee so I really have no clue how bad is \"bad\".
Walking is not an option cos I don't stay near at all
Might consider school bus if it's really terrible to drive.
But I hear the kids have to wake up very early to catch the school.
Lots of adjustments for a P1 kiddo.

Looking forward to registering my son next Fri to ACS(P). Anyone else registering next week?

[J_C_M_L]

My goodness! For ACPS, day one already 72 seats taken!!!

[laughingcat]

Not so bad already…it is only approx 2.5 classes taken up. As for NYPS, it is approx 4.5 classes taken up for phase 1

[dorisp]

Partly because NYPS is co-ed.

[laughingcat]

Of coz! But i am purely looking at occupancy rate based on popularity. There are some co-ed school with low occupancy rate.
