Hi,

The bus operator do we get it from the school? Or among parents?

School bus operator's contact can be found in the school website (under School Information > General Information). Back in my dd's time, the bus operator will be present during P1 orientation. You can sign up then. What they'll do is call you up a few days before school starts to let you know the exact pick-up time.

I see. thanks for the info.

That reminds me, when would they confirm if our kids are confirmed in their bus? On the spot or wait till a few days before school starts?

If the latter, wouldn't I need to look for more?

I saw 1 supplier for the school bus. Does St nicks only allow them to ferry the girls or are there other school buses?

Sorry for the very green questions.

In my case, they confirmed a week before school started.

I dun think you need to look for more. Although only 1 supplier, they have many drivers and buses going all over Singapore. I would be very surprised if u live in an area not covered by them.

Why not u give them a call and ask if they currently have a bus (or buses) covering your area? That's what I did last year

I see. cos i read from the early pages that they ran out of seats in the bus and some parents not able to find other school buses. Thus my concern so early.

Pri levels have 1 break.
No lunch time. Lunch will be after school hours on your own if you want to
stay in school.
