School Tie - how often or when do the boys need to put the tie on?


Recess Time - I found out that the Recess Time is incredibly late at 10.45am? How am I going to feed my son so well at 6am - 6.15am that could last him till 10.45am? Even if I can wake up early & prepare a good breakfast, I wonder how much can he stomach at that early hour to last till 10.45am? I feel heartpain as they are only 6 - 7 year olds with small stomachs. If I am not wrong, most other schools' Recess Times are between 9.30am - 10am for P1s.

hi Honey,
school ties are required every Monday except if the kids have PE that day.

Thanks Actorfamily . Will put the tie on for my son on the first day of school then. He looks forward to wearing the tie .

Hi for those you have daughters as well, is it hard to manage in sending the children to different schools? I have a daughter and son so some people tell me that it’s easier to send them to the same school rather than separate. their age gap is 3 years. thanks for your feedback!

Of course it would b easier to send both kids to the same sch. It is just a personal choice on where U prefer to settle your kids. Whether u prefer co-ed over single sex, and the distance of the sch to your house. In terms of managing the situation, it all boils down to time management.

I also have a gal, so most likely I will b sending her to PLMGS.

I also be likely to send my girl to PLMGS if my son goes to Maris Stella!! looks like both of us stay around the same area. me in Kovan

I have children studying in different sch. Both have different time schedule for their CCA ,supplementary classes, sports day etc. When there r CNY celebration, children day celebration etc, most sch dismiss @ around the same time, that is when u need to decide who to pick up first.Even their Exam time slot n starts of sch holidays r different.


So unless yr time mgt r gd, if not prepare to stay hectic n get tired...

PLMGS is quite highly recommended around this area. I heard they have a very fun way to teach Chinese.

My brother and I have a 3yr age gap.


He studied in MSH and I was from PL.
Every morning my dad will drop me off at PL then head over to MSH (the jam at MSH is worse, plus they have a slightly later reporting time).

After school he’ll pick me up first as my classes end earlier, then pick my bro up. Sometimes he needs to send my brother to Padang for softball training, he’ll drop me off at home first.

By the time I was in P4, I mostly walked home or took a bus home with my neighbour (same age, same block, same CCA, different class). Sometimes my neighbour’s eldest brother or dad will pick us up if my dad is busy.

My dad’s life was devoted to ferrying his kids from place to place, he’s not a career minded man. Family comes first. Even with my brother and sister working now, he still fetches them to and fro daily.

It’s best to know neighbours who have kids the same age and going to the same school to pool resources.

Anyway, it’s not easy to get in PL unless you are alumni or old girl.

Is it? But for the past few yrs, there was no need to go for balloting for within 1km. I m crossing my fingers though.....

[doraemon]

Yes, my friend’s daughter who stays out of 1km also got in previously.

Hi! My boy will also be attending MSHS. 4 more days to go, feeling nervous & excited for him. BTW, does anyone know how’s the traffic situation along Braddel going to MSHS in the mornings? How are you all going to MSHS the first two days? Via the circle line? Because I understand the school doesn’t have any space for parking & surrounding area parking also limited. Trying to plan timing,etc. TIA
