Dear KingRascal,


Thanks for your reply.

What do they do during Asb?

ER is conducted by Mdm Rafeah (head of english), so I guess it is to do with english?!?

How do you find the teachers in general? Are you in parents support group?

My girl came home with her timetable yesterday. It seems that there are lots of English lessons (16 of them @ 30 min per lesson), as compared to Math (7 lessons at 30 min each). There is MT lesson every day for 1.5 hours (it is 15 lessons x 30 min) . On Thursday, other than PE and MT, the rest is EL (5 x 30mins). Wondering if this is normal or similar to your kids’ timetable…


What do Asb, ER and COMU mean? I suppose HE means Health Education?

Hi Gingersilver


Have you managed to get cheaper bus transportation for your child? It's so exciting that 1st day's coming.

Dear KingRascal,

It is so wonderful to see my girl being so excited about going to primary school. She was all ready for school on the first day -- we bid bye to her at 6.40am when she boarded school bus, and she waved at us with a big grin on her face!

As for the bus trasportation, we do not have much choice but to use the one and only bus service provider who covers Frankel side. I had checked with other bus operators and was informed that they could not cover our area....(my colleague lives around opera estate and his son goes to Tao Nan. The bus fare is increased from $85 to $95 starting this year)

When they have PE on a particular day, do they wear PE attire on that whole day? or do they bring PE attire to change in school?

Best regards,
Gingersilver

I pay $55 for single trip. $65 for 2-way. It's considered rather low. NA has many bus operators thus they are competitive. I do know buses with CHIJ Katong charges almost $90 for 2-way and the gal stays very near my place.


Hi 3bagsfull, do let me know if you need further clarifications. Would be glad to answer if I can.

Dear parents,

I am a newbie to this website, also to Ngee Ann Primary School where my daughter is going to next year!

Just wondering have you settled the bus transportation arrangement with the designated bus operators. We stay around frankel avenue and are within one km of the school. The bus fare quoted to me is $106 for two way, and $94 for one way. Is this a standard or reasonable fare?

Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance!
