Hi there…


Just came across this post.

My girl will be in P1 Charity too!! I am sure we have prob met in the classroom during orientation. My girl’s name is Erika.

Good to stay connected, so we can always check things with each other.

I have no idea who is the Form Teacher too. I know there was an older lady teacher and a young pregnant teacher in the classroom. Any idea which one is the Form Teacher, and what is her name?

My daughter is in P1 Charity too. Her name is Anushka.

Hi, my dd will be in P1 Grace and her name is Charis. Hope to hear from other parents from P1 Grace too


I've signed her up for the YMCA student care. Mrs Lee of the YMCA student care mentioned that the external tuition providers that they use is NASCANS-comprising of former students(ie graduates) from NUS - the rates are $12.50/hr and minimum 4 to start. Has anyone tried the external tuition offered? How is the quality compared to the YMCA teachers? Any value-added in terms of either smaller group size, better teacher-student attention, strength in particular subjects eg science etc? Or will the coaching from the YMCA teachers be adequate? I was told that the external tuition will not include Chinese though...

I've also arranged for the school bus for my girl...has anybody already heard from either RS Transport or directly from the assigned bus driver? I've been checking up on this for the since last week but so far neither RS Transport nor the bus driver is able to confirm the pick up or drop off timings...

Hi ya Snowflake


You should have heard from the bus driver early this week.

I called RS Transport before Christmas and they told me that the driver should be calling the parents directly by 26 December. Well as I did not hear from the driver then, I called RS and pestered them till they gave me the driver's contact.

Got the driver to confirm the pick-up and drop off timings there and then.

Sometimes, we just need to be a \"pest\" to get things done

Hope that helps. :roll:

Dear ponyo and plum-cake,


The bus driver for the morning pick up has finally confirmed the pick up timing yesterday...yes, after several unanswered calls and pestering...

Now, the 6pm bus pick up is still not confirmed at all...... RS Transport gave me the driver's name and after I've called the driver(who told me tpst co. didn't furnish details). and after several frustrating calls back and forth to RS Transport, they told me the supposed assigned driver has resigned and they couldn't provide a replacement driver!!! Of course I hung on and tried to be as patient as possible before she mumbled something that they will inform me again...so now I'm still left high and dry on this...and I've just called RS Transport again a short while ago...and guess there's no one in the office today...the phone isn't auto forwarded to any tel. no. at all... :frustrated:

Thanks again snowflake, to my surprise the ‘bus aunty’ called. she said they will be here 6.32 am. but she will be driving on saturday to see the locations and will call me again to confirm. are you guys coming on the first day to school? I am thinking of following the school bus.

Hi plum-cake,


The bus driver finally called on Sat evening…so now all’s set and ready to go… I intend to be there at the school gate if i can settle arrangements for my ds as his pre-school bus comes to pick him up at 730am…
