Raffles Girls' Primary

The CCA bus fare has also increased dramatically for our route…


I would be more willing to pay the so-called market rate for bus fare if the service provided commensurates with the fare. However, for my route, the bus will reach the school around 6.30am, even though there is supposedly a guideline that the schools bus should not reach school earlier than 6.45am. The bus also detoured to pick up a bus aunty after picking up the girls very early. This bus aunty is meant for the kindergarten trip after dropping off the girls at school at 6.30am.

I did highlighted this to the school, my concern being that the girls will be forced to wake up incredibly early to reach the school at 6.30am. But the school’s reply was that they allowed the bus some allowance in reaching the school earlier, in case there is traffic jam etc. However, I do know that some of my girl’s classmates’ bus only reach school only around 7am, which is more reasonable to me.

So I am really not surprised at the massive traffic queue every morning outside the school. In fact, if the school bus can pick up the girls at more earthly hours and reach the school around 7am, I am sure more parents will be more inclined to put their girls in school bus, rather than braving the jam every morning…

once the sch assigned a bus operator, we will be at the bus operator’s mercy… guess next year will be worse at Mount Sinai for those who stay far…

the camp is compulsory unless ur child is sick or for whatever reason,,, its not too bad, my dd enjoyed the day activities and the camp fire, its a good experience for the kids and the teachers will be there to take care of them so no worries.

Understand that the 2013 Semester 1 calendar of events is out. However, noticed that there is no P4 briefing.


I am still thinking of getting more insight into the new PSLE English paper format over the curriculum briefing, which I assume will be held.

Find it puzzling that there is no P4 curriculum briefing, as I understand that usually all the levels' briefing will be held in Jan every year?

2013 P5 parents - can kindly help to confirm if there was a P4 briefing in 2012?

:thankyou:

There will not be P4 Briefing for parents this Term 1, regarding new PSLE English format requirements / expectation. School will inform you of any briefing, at a later date.

for P1 / P3 -
there is a curriculum briefing next Sat, Jan 26.
