Hi daddy2007


Sometimes taking bus no doubt may be easier, but if both parents are working and the only option is school bus, then we really do not have a choice…

Any1 concern with the safety on our child walking out to the bus stop near Grand corpthorne htl in the afternn?

The Sch bus fees of the Sch is v exp compared to many others. My nephew pri Sch bus fees is only $50.

Hi zumba.

P1 is afternoon session. P2 onwards is morning for now.

Yes - the current school bus operator does not provide service for the east area, only central and west area.

The nearest BASC near rvps would be Alphabet Playhouse. You can arrange the transport provider to fetch your child from Alphabet to RVPS.

Me!

His bus stop isn't near grand corpthorne, it's the one opposite great world city to take his bus, near those shophouses.
So no choice, had to give him hp during those extra-lesson days.

I want to boycott the extra trip service.


Btw, did the school get back about on the fare revision? They said start of T3, but no news till now :?

Winth, they gave out the reply. DD received the "envelope" on Friday. You may check with your DS. They are going ahead with the increase. However, the increase has been staggered. The CCA and 70% of the monthly fare starts on August. Balance 30% effective January 2013.


I’m concern over the operator requesting for a increase year on year at such quantum. Now I wonder if they would keep their 2013 fares unchanged till end of that year with this increase. There is no mention about it. Maybe the school should call for a public tender for 2013 given that we still have 6 months before the end of this year.

Any parents with kids from P1 this year? May I know if the homework is heavy? I am concern that they have have lots of homework… I am more in favor of a more balanced study life

[cloubhappy.05320live.05320com]

I m also keen to know if it is a competitive environment. Does p2 or p3 needs to stay back for extra classes or Cca? Cca compulsory for p2/3?


Thank you.
