I was at the Orientation last Sat too. Ya...the new bus operator has a booth there and yet not prepared with the registration even the bus fees. I asked one of them regarding the bus fees, the answer is,\" Still don't know yet, we need to TEST, will get back to you and wait for our call.\" ??????

\" I did hear from my friends regarding the bus fees higher than last time.....\" The uncle不耐煩的說﹕聽說而已嗎﹗以前的太便宜了﹗現在我們是換新的公司﹐你知道嗎﹖ 我現在不要再跟你說那麼多。

Hello queen1108! :grphug:
Welcome to join Corporation Primary School thread! Your child will be in P1 next year too! :hi5: so your child'c class will be Respect X.

quite :mad: over the administration part of the school bus service but hope they will give us a clearer picture soon! Definitely :xedfingers: that they will give a better service than the current one! :stompfeet:

:welcome: queen1108!


oh dear, does sound like they are not very efficient huh? they should have their maps and the circles drawn properly (just like P1 reg) and know exactly how far each address is from the school if they wanna charge like that....

hope everything is ironed out soon!

Heard that the price increase got some parents complain and it made it to the news! Well I guess most ppl will stick to the old bus service since it’s cheaper. It’s service is average not very good but it is still okay. You do get some black sheep sometimes but most of the time the service is okay(IMO) I heard that the reason for the price increase is because that the new buses can carry up to40 ppl? I not very sure though.

The more people a bus ferries, the less they should pay. We should only pay more, if they use the vans with less students to ferry, and hence each kid reaches home in a shorter period of time. How they plan the route also matters.


For the vans, even though the capacity is small, they also need a driver and auntie. So usually bus companies prefer to use big buses to save on manpower too. But for certain routes with small lanes, or if the route is too long, then smaller vans are required.

Hi All CPS Parents! :grphug:

Just upload herewith the letter received yesterday regarding a few changes implementing in Year 2012

[Kabby]

thx champs!


i intend to buy just one set new PE kit, cos ds1 needs another set anyway. so there will be some days he wear old one, some days wear new one. quite nice… haha. more variety.

for the shoes, his current pair is very tattered already so i intend to buy new black shoes and socks anyway.

when will they give out schedule for buying books and uniform, do you know?

and for the new timetable, i think it is better for the P1-2. past 2 yrs my son always waste 1 h waiting around to have CCA and the CCA ends so late at 5.30pm.

for p3 new timetable, is there any change from your dd’s current one? i have no comparison, dunno if it’s any different?

Yeah, think they have not give the booklist as well as the uniform order list :? :scratchhead: DD1 only came back with Report Book

Agrees regarding the CCA part - my DD1 always use that one hour for tea-break and does homework before CCA commences at 4.00pm.

Think there isn't much change to the P3 timetable next year against the current one. So, now seem that CCA is compulsory for P3 onwards whereas this year it is still P4 onwards

LKVM:

thanks sista champ for uploading and i am quite happy to read the bus fares and also they included that cca timings are included and its not extra.. thank goodness...
i liked the idea or black shoes and socks but for time being i might not buy any new sets see how later in the year.. i loved the new timetable also.

Hi Mummy LKVM :hi5:
I also prefer black shoes & socks :love: Will get new set for DD1 as her skirt length is above the knee-cap and I don't want Mrs. Kwek comes running after her :dowan:

[Kabby]

haha, my son also very scared of Mrs Kwek. But I think she’s very effective. Stern and strict/ firm but can be nice and understanding.


btw, i received the booklist and name tag order form today. they need me to fill in how many sets of name tags i want…

the problem is, i don’t know!

can i check, did your teacher inform you about the name tags? cos i didn’t hear anything about it (apart from the Orientation for P1s) and suddenly there is this order form. so the PE tees need name tag or not?

cos if only shirts need, then i only need 1 set as 1 set has 5 name tags (stated in form). but if all PE tees also need, then i probably need more?

anyone knows?

[Kabby]

oh ya, about the after school care, any of u going for that?


there was a mom who asked for support regarding this earlier this year right?
she should be very glad to see this! happy for her.
