Admummy - just to share with you. my colleague actually transferred his daughter (who happened to be my boy’s classmate last year in P3) from MBS to Mee Toh this year as they stay in Punggol. She had to wake up very early to take the school bus and be back home late last year and he found it too tiring for her. The travelling distance is a big issue.
As the kids progress to higher level, they would need to stay back in school for activities, supplementary lessons & CCA etc most of the days and not all days the school bus is able to fetch them, not even when you are willing to pay. Like my mil has to fetch my boy back on Friday afternoon after his CCA as the school bus doesn’t fetch. The school bus only fetch when the entire level is affected, eg. all P6 students stay back for supplementary lessons - so they will fetch.
Proximity to school is important.
By the way, it is confirmed that MBS will go single session once it has completed its expansion plan. Construction work will commence in 2 years’ time if i don’t remember wrongly. You may call up the school to confirm. -
By the time the expansion project is completed, it is just in time to complete by 2016 (hopefully this is the final date that MOE set for all primary schools to be in one session). By then, our children would be already in the morning session. 7788, do you know how your colleague go about changing the school for her kids, Can share more on this?

2818 - I am not so sure but I guess it wasn’t a problem for him cos his wife is actually a teacher at mee toh. In any case, I believe it is dependent also on the availability of vacancy in the receiving school. Then again, if the student’s results are very good, the school may still make an exception to accept even if there is no vacancy.
It’s best to find out more from both MBS and the receiving school on the procedure for transfer. -
7788 thks for sharing…those points u’ve mentioned were exactly my concerns too. actually if the school bus only concentrate on Punggol/Sengkang area and then go by expressway, the journey is pretty short abt 15-20mins drive…so i pray that by the time i move into Punggol, the demand for school bus at Punggol/Sengkang area is sufficient to render a mini or mid size bus (like what MMM mentioned) then the bus vendor don’t need to combine with those staying at Pasir Ris or even Tampines area…if just concentrate Punggol/Sengkang then the route is very much shorter then kids dun need to suffer…
actually i hope MBS can change to single session soon, easier for me since i have 3 children gg to MBS and their age gap is like 2 -3 yrs so if MBS still double, i may have my gal at AM session and my no. 2 at PM session…if all 3 go same session maybe we can book a TAXI to fetch them all to/from school (cheaper than school bus)…or DH will be the chauffuer for all 3 of them…wow…more worth it… -
hi, thanks for your info.

Admum - Picking up the kids one by one by the school bus takes time. i am staying in Kembangan area and if my boy were to take a school bus to school, he would have to board the school bus (mini) at 6.20am cos the kids have to be in school by 7.10am. Can you imagine if the school bus comes from Punggol or Sengkang?

Hi, parents with kids in P3 or above, how is the workload in terms of homework in P3? Is/are there any days on which all students need to stay back? Thanks in advance for your responses!

Recent cases heard from parents at MBS…
2 different groups of student , P4 and 5coincidently were having the same break time last week, were fighting for their rights to sit at the given tables.
They are from 4h and 5h if not wrong. Hand signs, arguments and one of the P5 even purposely spill a bowl of noodle to dirty the table so that the junior could not have the table even though they are going to leave.
As far as I know, they have to share the tables as they only have A,B,C,D E F G H …TABLES ALLOCATING TO THE STUDENTS.
what if the same thing happen again?
What if the P6 and p3 have to use the same allocated tables? Sure the p3 will lose.
Are the discipline masters going to do something rather standing at the gate to ask the kids to raise up your hands when crossing?
Lots of things happen this schools, all schools… But how the teachers and d.m going to punish the big bully?
