I was quoted $65 for two way transport

I think its still expensive if its a big bus
the person said will be first few to get down bus dunno how true
as they have not planned the route yet

Mine was quoted $87 for two way transport. Do not have a choice.

[verykiasu]

scary leh $87… cannot feedback to the school??

I saw RMPS the thread theirs around $50plus

[cftongtan]

Mine is at Queenstown area.

[verykiasu]

They haven’t planned the route yet, did you ask if your kid will alight last or what?

She told me mine will reach home 6plus, I wondering is it true?
and there is no point for me to put my boy one way as its only a few dollars cheaper
Now I need to pyscho my boy to take school bus both ways

[verykiasu]

From what I know is that you just need to fill up the form and pass it to the school, they will arrange for the bank to verify and authorize the deduction. The sample form is for you to know what you are suppose to fill in on the orientation day.

Heard from the lady that my pickup point is 12 - 12:15pm. Alighting will be about 7:10pm.

As school released at 6:30pm, school bus will wait for the children till 6:45pm before they leave from school.

She also mentioned that the route has not been planned.

[verykiasu]

6.45pm then the school bus will leave, then can my boy reach home before 7pm, I am abit doubtful. I have scheduled one of his existing enrichmt class for him on fri 7.15 I think its too rush already

Does RVPS has two sessions?? Are there enrichment in the afternoon and do they have an after school care program ... Sorry for all the questions as we are returning to Singapore in Dec

Hi! Welcome back to Singapore!

You may want to check this link for Student Care services around the School or near your home: http://www.childcarelink.gov.sg/ccls/home/CCLS_Home.jsp
School buses should be able to pick/drop before/after school, although that means incurring transport charges.

There is a gifted programme screening at the end of Primary 3. Those screened to be gifted would be offered a choice to move to schools offering the Gifted Education Programme (GEP). http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/programmes/gifted-education-programme/gep-schools/

RV is not one of them but I think the standards are high here as well with a fair share of high ability learners.

Hope your two boys transit well into their new Singapore School. Exciting time for you moving back too I hope.

Will your DS/DD wear the school uniform to the coming Orientation. I have bought the uniform but have not decided whether to wear or not.
