Thank you For your welcome Ikiasu! Looking forward to more interaction with you.


Thank you too, nms1, for your advice with regards to their uniform. I'll keep that in mind when I get DD her uniforms.

Anyway, I hve 2 queries, if it's alright to ask...How does your DDs commute to school? And are the girls bog down with too much homework? Thanks again for your replies.

My daughter walks to school but there are a lot who catch the school buses. It is not very easy to commute via public transport.

I think the homework is very reasonable in the early years. My daughter is in P2 and can stretch it out for a long time but in general her English and Maths is less than an hour a day and some days they don't have any homework at all. On top of that she probably has 30 mins of Chinese a few days a week then a few bits of social studies or art every now & again.

i guess you can check out the CCAs provided, via the school's website.

my DD will be attending a student care at amk central but understand from the ctr's in-charge that there aren't many vacancies left.

The nearest student care centre could be the one at Bethesda Bukit Arang Church (Serangoon Ave 3). They also have a branch at Serangoon Ave 4. For more centres, you could try searching the MCYS Child Care Link database: http://www.childcarelink.gov.sg/ccls/home/CCLS_HomeParentsLocateCCC.jsp
My daughter goes to a centre in Serangoon North. All the best!
