Shouldn't be a problem u-turning. I've been driving that route for a year and found it manageable even at peak hour in the morning. The cars can't move anyway so i just inch out lor But, yeah, prepare for bad traffic the first week :D. It's definitely a good idea to park and take the mrt.


Btw, the boys usually wear their ties on Mondays unless they are in PE attire.

Thks for sharing, so for the first day of school even the P1 boys got to put on the tie? Or do they don't have to until being told \"officially\" to put on the tie in future? I think I am getting more excited than my son! :lol:

First day of school term for 2011 is on Tuesday 4th January. No need to wear tie on a Tuesday.

I thought the first day of the academic year must wear tie? That’s usually a tradition for schools with ties as part of their uniform, isn’t it? I’ll check with my colleagues.

I got the zip type (with spiderman print) on the cover. Figured this type easier cos he can throw his pencil/ eraser/ colourinng pencil/ sharpener all in.

Then it must be huge! Haha…need to get separate ones? One for pencils, etc and one for colour pencils? Sjij required students bring 12 color pencils, not more than 12.

Thanks all for sharing the traffic situation. Guess I will try the U-turn and see how. It is difficult for me to come by the opp direction.


BTW, can I check something. I remember we were told that parents are allowed in the school in the 1st two days. May I know if there is anything planned for us on the 2nd day? If not, then we may not want to go. I only remember there will be programmes for the parents on the 1st day.

i prefer to let my kids bring those pencil case with individual elastic loops for the pencils so that when the pencil case drops off the table, the things wont scatter around

Oh, I intend to join Braddell road from Marymount Rd, then go straight till U-turn. That's quickest and most direct way. Used to drive that route daily to go to Tampines and the traffic moves.

But for first 2 days, we intend to take the MRT from Marymount. I remember they said there will be parenting talks for us while the kids attend their classes. Maybe you can just ask your wife to go on the second day. My dh is also going back to work on the 2nd day.

I bought the box type of pencil case. He chose it himself. I remember I used to use those pencil boxes to shield my tingxie answers from my neighbours. Super kiasu... :lol:
