Hi,


I drove by MCS at about 6.40p.m. yesterday. There were so many cars still waiting along the roadside. Now, I am not so sure if my hubby and I should be sending and picking up our girl from school. I was thinking that it might take a longer time for our DD2 to get home if she gets picked up from school by us. She is keen to take the school bus.

Does anyone have any info about how the school bus system works and how efficient it is?

Tks for info :).

Hi Gin,
DD does take the sch bus so can't share much about the sch bus system.

Generally, there are many cars parked by the road side at about 6.30ish. Parents can only drive into the sch to pick their kids up after the sch buses leave the sch compound (about 10 mins after dismissal).

However, not all parents drive-in. Some choose to park by the road side or at the Marymount Kindergarten carpark and walk to the sch foyer to fetch their kids.

Hi Funkymonkey,


How is your DD doing so far? I heard from my girl that she is in the same group as your DD.

hi jesyeo!!!
yeah, my gal is happy at school and she's working sooo hard...i just hope that she will improve coz i can't stand to see her sooo sad when her results are not so good...she's now comparing herself to her classmates and sometimes she feels so low about herself and the whole family have to do the :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah: dance for her and console her!!!i just hope its better this time round..she did mention that math was \"easy peasy lemon squeezy\"!!

Hi funkymonkey,
Yes, I can imagine this will be a super busy time for you....lots to prepare. Not long to go.....Hari Raya Puasa next week already. :rahrah:

Wow...your DS is doing really well. Definitely not easy to maintain 90+ for P5. You should be so proud of him. :boogie: Must say he's very motivated hor.... not many kids will ask for tuition automatically... :evil: Maybe most of his friends have tuition so he also wants a piece of the action..

Yes, I bought past year papers for DD to do but she has been so busy with sch homework etc...no time to do until recently when we prepared for SA1. Personally, I think they are good as they provide students with greater exposure to various standard & challenging questions, especially maths & Science. Definitely a good investment if your DS can find the time :moneyflies:

Wow.....did you receive 10 sheets of the Fun-Fair coupons today? I got DDx2 so receive 20 sheets. My DDs are so excited...they can't wait. They told me not to sell the coupons...they wanna use all of the coupons themselves... :yikes: :faint:

What makan are you donating for the Fun-Fair?

jesyeo:

Yeah, really din see u all for long time. hehe.


DD doing pretty well this Term 3 as in she is able to cope better. Din hear her complain much now when she does her homework. Somehow feels that the teachers are giving less homework this term. And YES! Finally CA2 is over. Woohoo! Told my DD that we should go and have some fun. hahah.

How abt u and your DD? How is she coping with the PSLE?

Hi jesyeo,

Wonderful to hear that your DD is adapting well in sch. Ya, this term seems to have more breaks and long weekends....less homework.....very shiok for the gals...keke. Yes, holidays starts next Thurs. :rahrah: definitely must bring DDs out to have fun during the holidays! Mummy also need to unwind... :rotflmao:

Thanks....We are well and surviving PSLE....so far. Maybe 4-5 weeks down the road, I'll be :nailbite:

[quote=\"Gin\"]Hi micyms and jesyeo,

Wow, it is great that your girls will not be having long rides to and from school. Ours will have to be taking a longer time though, I finally called up the school bus operator, she told me that ours will be picked up at about 11 am and DD will reach home at about 7.40 p.m. Hmmm, looks like we may have to consider moving a little closer to school if she is going to take the school bus.


I drove by MCS at about 6.40p.m. yesterday. There were so many cars still waiting along the roadside. Now, I am not so sure if my hubby and I should be sending and picking up our girl from school.

Hi michyms and Jesyo
Gin, I am not entirely certain of the bus route, but I know the MCS girl who lives in my block gets up the bus at 11.40am and arrives home around 7.05 or 7.10pm. I think our area is relatively near enough to the school, so the drop off shouldn't be too late, and its probably the same school bus that plys the entire area. I think its only after the school buses go off that parents are allowed to drive up to pick their kids, if I'm not wrong? If your dd takes the bus, my dd and her can keep each other company

I am staying at Bishan St 23 and school bus will be here around 11.50 to pick my girl to school. She will arrives home around 6.55pm. So to me is consider quite efficient as the school ends at 6.30pm. By the way, do u know that the school ends 1 hr earlier on friday? If you going to pick ur DD up, then u have to make sure u can reach there early. :)[/quote]

Hi michyms and jesyeo,


Sorry, I replied to the both of you in the quote section earlier :). Still sleepy, I guess :).

Hi Tinkerbelle,


Thanks for the info. It looks dangerous with the cars parked along the roadside. Well, we will have to take our time to decide if DD goes on the school bus.
