Hi my son is in 3 Aristotle and gal in 1 Hillary. I find the pricing of the transport does not make sense to me. I was paying only 120 one way for my son last year from school to Punggol. I received the payment card asking for payment of 180. Two children will cost 360. Even though we are paying for 10month it still work out to be 150 per month this is 25% increase. may i check how much are you paying for the bus fee?

Personally I feel that the fees are expensive. My neighbor who studies in Compassvale area pays only $80 for big bus. Even though now they charge only 10 months but the monthly rate has been jacked up. So its like change the soup but not the medicine. The school has said that we will not be worst off but it seems that this is not the case for me at least.

BTW I am paying $168(for 10 months) for 1 way from school to student care in Hougang central area.

I agree with love kids in the Chinese learning. My son was asked to go to the enrichment class in p2 and he did struggle a lot. Everyday there is Chinese spelling. I hope this year will be better for the pace of learning if not think my son will give up pretty soon

is the words very difficult or they are writing in sentence for their spelling

Hi fatmommy, beanicow, christmas mummy,


Thanks for sharing. So ur kids all in school SCC? Tried to register my girl but unsuccessful. Wonder if they will have more vacancy... Feel so heartpain when see her having lunch around 3pm+...

My son is not in school SCC, I found a nearer SCC near my home so that I can pick up him easily. He arrived SCC around 3pm,then shower and lunch. No choice only ask him eat more when recess at school. I am not sure other primary school recess time also 1030am?

my son had to memorize paragraph like a mini Chinese compo when he was p2. everynight we are struggling with this. very tough. but i think it helps to train and remember the phrases and Chinese words. but to him it is a nightmare and nightmare is starting soon again!!!

Me too: $168 for one-way. Am at Buangkok Crescent.

Starting to wonder how the school appoints their transport vendor. What are they measured on? How do they determine their prices? And is any agency regulating this sector?

Was just discussing this with a GF over lunch today and she was \"kind\" enough to put this into perspective for me: the \"suay\" sector families must prepare to spend $1,680 per child this year on school transport alone.

And barely 6 months ago, I was deluded enough to \"dream\" I can budget $80 for school transport ... LOL

Sorry peeps, don't mean to be making a bigger deal about this than usual ... but the idea is making me more and more uncomfortable. Why do we not have a choice?

I agreed the fee is overpriced especially with the condition of the bus which I done a comparison. I had called up the boss up and provided my feedback but seem like this will not change. Do you think by speaking to the school, they will help to relook at the fee and the condition of the bus. They are sending my child home with the little blue run down van.
