Hi Alwayslucky


On the day of balloting, for those who fail to secure a place, the school will give you a form immediately to fill in 3 choices of school. They will then fax the form to MOE to allocate the school of your choice. Imagine how devastated I was that time....on one side of the classroom you see the who were successful, happily queuing up to get the admission letters for orientation. On the other side were those unsuccessful ones, queuing up to get the form for MOE to allocate a place.

If I remembered correctly, OEPS have 30plus vacancies for those who failed in phase 2C(S) during last year's registration.

Where were you staying? How did you fetch your child if there is cca?

Well, OPES is also not my 1st choice of school ... But i have no regret in choosing OPES ( within 2 km ) for my 2nd choice last year.


My girl like the school so much that i have no trouble to wake her up for school every morning at 6am (to be in time for school bus) ... She like her form teacher too... And she gets to know the different cultures from her other classmates ...
I noticed that the principal & teachers will be there to giude the children after school lessons when i went to pick my girl.
I feel that there is connection between the teachers & parents. The studying pace is just right for me ( A working mum ) & my girl.

Most important of all, my girl is happy , making alot of friends & no issue in copying the school work ...

Can understand if yr child taking school bus?
If you working how you pick up yr child from sch bus?

[/list]Different CCA have diff practice day, Mon, Tue or/and Thur, but timing is same from 2-4pm.

Note : Some CCA require trial/audition.

My boy is in Table Tennis which conducted on every Tue and Wed. I remember Art Club is once a week on Tue and Chess Club is once a week on Mon.

For transport, the bus operator offers per trip service, ie. they charge by each CCA day pick up apart from the regular fare. Details you have to check with the operator.

How much do they charge per trip?

So are the operator who provide the regular bus service same as the one who provide the per trip service?

Reason for asking is if it is the same then easier to coordinate as its the same driver and bus.

Please advise. Thanks.
