if we wash the buttons together with e uniform, will the buttons get rusty? i find tat those buttons really troublesome...

The buttons won't get rusty, and if you sew the buttons on, then you won't have to deal with rings.

Didn't know that I will have to bother about such buttons. Thanks for all the contribution and I've decided to sew all the buttons onto the small button holes And wash the shirts with a laundry bag.

Also, went to the book shop to check out their version of ringless button. They sew the metal button back to back onto a small normal button. So you can just slide the normal button thru the hole and it will hold the metal button in its place. Cool! This method allows you to remove and put on the buttons easily (for wearing and washing) without the rings!

Btw, the Parade Square next to the canteen - is it the place with the Water Wheel?

Also, will the side gate at St 24 be very crowded in the morning? Since it is also used by Whitley Sec Sch? Is the back gate better, the one at Pemimpin Place?

TIA

In addition, any one knows on which day is the Robotics CCA?


Thanks again

My boy will be in P3 Goodness too… hope he won’t be stressed and continue to enjoy his learning journey in CHS.

Hi, I am an old boy from CHPS and I have 2 boys. I am hoping to send them to CHPS but I am still concern ove the long journey from choa chu kang.


So just wondering if anyone live in this part of Singapore and could advise what time would they need to leave home and if there are buses that comes here.

We are considering if we should send them to a school nearby or move nearer to CHPS (prices too high)

Thanks a lot.

Yes, buttons can be removed for washing. Basically, the small normal button will slide thru the button hole and then put the metal button in place. It makes putting on and taking down buttons so much easier without the rings! The small normal buttons are the size of those at the cuffs of man's shirt, not those normal front buttons (too big, cannot go thru the button holes)

However, I prefer to sew the buttons direct onto the shirt, so no need to remove for washing.

Yes, parade square is the one next to canteen as you mention. The kids will go to their classroom to put their schoolbags and then assemble at parade square every morning.

I personally prefer to use pemimpin place to drop off. Gate opening times:

weekdays:
6-7.30am
1.30-2.30pm
