Hi Mommilicous
There are actually buses catering to Pasir Ris and Tamp kids. its just that i believe bus 9 (sk/pgl) picks up those kids staying at the extreme ends of pasir ris/ tamp along the sch route bah. My son told me the driver pick up kids ard pasir ris White Sands, then another kid around temasek poly that side... so i believe the route to sch after tpe might be along the road outside Ikea...

Hi constancet,

Is your boy still taking school bus now? I am still considering whether to let my boy take a one-way transport from home to school. The journey back home is just too long and tiring.

Hi
yup he is still taking sch bus. One way to sch. My hb or I will fetch him in the evening, cos its too tiring for him. P2 will b the same arrangement. When he goes to P3, Hb will bring him to sch in the morning, and he will take sch bus back in the afternoon....
Our headache now is, how to arrange on days when he has CCA?
Red Swas CCA start 2nd half of P2. Dunno how is the arrangement yet.....

Dicky….have u check out Tian Hsia holiday camp? They have 5 full days program this Dec. Also if you ok with the distance, Kids Amaze in Boon Lay has quite good 5 full day holiday program for much lower cost, and looks interesting too.

Frankly speaking, we looking at enrichment programmes outside the school works. Because DS is slow and was top 10 student for P1...... from bottom. So we need to revise P1 all over again, sending him go further enrichment may be counter-productive....

Just sign DS up for weekly Aikido and Roller-Blade....... :idea:

I enrolled my DS for 5 day holiday camp with tien hsia. 1st half of the day is actually an outing (eg farm, robotics ctr, archery), only the 2nd half of the day is in the tien hsia ctr. The impression i get is, they will talk abt the outing details during their time in the ctr. So not really totally academic. I let you know after my boy's session with them end. So that you can decide whether to send your boy nx holiday.

hi smallbell, ya the route is like sengkang, hougang, punggol, pasir ris then school, funny right? yes, we were there. i left ard 5 plus!

Are those staying in punggol and sengkang keen to meet up before school start?

Hi
My boy takes bus 9, the sk/pgl bus to sch. The ride starts from sk first leh, then hougang, followed by Pgl, then Pasir Ris (1 or 2 kids), then Tamp (also 1 or 2 kids) before reaching sch. Coming back is the reverse lor. You may wanna fetch your kids from sch if you can, cos the 1st day i let my boy tried, he came home almost 8pm!

hi constancet, do you stay in punggol or sk when u mentioned ur boy reached home almost 8pm? can you also advise me what time the school bus pick up your son? They told me 11 plus but can't tell me the estimate. To me, 11.05 or 11.50am also 11 plus[/quote]Hi
we stay in sk, near buangkok mrt station.
My DS is the 2nd kid to board the bus. Bus fetch him ard 11am.
The bus ride back on the 1st day, he was the 2nd last to alight, hence 8pm.
Where do you stay? Pgl or SK?[/quote]

we are staying in punggol so may not be so bad.

Hi constancet,

May I know how much do you pay for the one-way transportation? Is it the same as two-way?
For CCA, is it compulsory at 2nd half of P2?
Thanks.

Hi! AppleNg,
Do you like to exchange contact through pm? How are you bringing son to & fro SC/RSS? Do you send your son any enrichment around Punggol/SengKang? Any holiday programme? Maybe can arrange to meet-up? Chat again after 8th Dec, flying to Melbourne tomorrow...small Bell

Hi small bell

I will pm you my contact, u can msg me after 9 dec as we will be away too. We are fine to meet, especially our kids will be in same class. Are you at the hall during the orientation? My son is the one of the few kids chatting too loud and the teacher has to hush them down LOL. Rest of kids are quietly sitting down and they are chatting like old friends!

I will probably enrol son to Just Education and Hans Language. Both conveniently located, timing suits us and cost reasonable. Will monitor whether can make it or not.

We will drive send son to SC and back.
