The principal has declared 21 Jan as a school holiday to celebrate the good achievements of the school's 2010 GCE O level. He did not declared school holiday for 2010 PSLE results. Does it mean PSLE results was not as impressive? Hmm.... :? just a thought.....

oh! when was this information released??

there is 340 p1 kids right? assuming most of the opt for catering, since cant go canteen, plus p2 and p3 kids, its roughly around 1000 kids, and for 3 years, so how can the caterer be so lousy??


i think the parents shd just voice out at the Parent teacher meeting to consider practising different recess times for different levels. i believe other boys (full) schoolls also solved their problems by allocating diff recess times: does cath hi or SJI or ACS cater food for the kids??
st nicks doesnt
actually i prefer catered food cos safer for the p1s cos risk of falling n being bumped by others. just that the food standard so xxxxx

Can we cancel our order at this stage? If so I would like to cos the food is so sad! My son has been bringing home the jelly/solitary biscuit/cream puff. By the time he arrives home it's all squashed by his books.


I was thinking of giving him money to get fruits from the canteen then realised he's not even allowed there. !!

We called the caterer. They did not even ask why. I think many parents must have cancelled. Yes, they will refund the balance to you. I have not received it yet but I trust that they will do so.

So what will you be preparing for your kids then? Everyday, 5 days a week... oh my.....

I hope the issue can be resolved asap cos I really cannot imagine myself waking at 5+ to prepare his meal especially for Monday when we have to prepare lunch as well.

:!:My son also complained stomachache y’day morning. I dont think house T-shirt is for PAL, mine was told to wear every Wed but PAL is on Mon right?


BTW, anyone using TLC afterschool care? How is it? Do u hv contact no.?

[24hr-mum]

since a few parents complained their kids tummyache, cant be due to the punching case. shd be the food. the catererer probably prepared the food very very early

For PALS lesson, students are encourage to wear House-T shirt and PE shorts. Not all classes conduct their PALS lesson on Monday, my son’s lesson is on a Wed.

what do they do in PALS?

Complaints aside, I think I cannot tahan having to wake up at 5am to cook his recess food. It would be too much of a hassle and sacrifice to prepare his food everyday.


The downside is, my ds doesn’t want to eat buns and sandwiches so I can’t just let him take a bun.

Those considering to prepare own food can go buy a thermal food warmer for your sons to take to school. You can put porridge, rice with meat n vege, chee cheong fun etc in it and it will keep warm for a few hours. That means you gotta cook very early in the morning.

Those intending to prepare rice-based dishes gotta cook it fresh and not use leftover rice from previous night coz bacteria grows on exposed rice within 2 hours. It can go bad and cause tummy ache.

Good luck!

It is the hassle that got most parents to sign up for the catering especially since the kids are not allowed to go to the canteen. I hope that the situation can get better after the VP talk to the caterer.

Sjij dun have catered food. P1 has to q up to buy food. First 4 days p5 will help to be big brother to help p1. I think it’s a better system than catered food. For catered food, we don’t know how they wash the ingredients and how they cook though.
