There’s a traffic light to cross the road from the bus stop.

Super big thanks! I just drove there to reece during lunch break .. drove to Ave 2 (gate 2), and yes , traffic light to cross the road, which makes it easy.

May I also check if the Ave 2 road will be as congested as the other 2 gates access?

Thanks parents. Is there an overhead bridge from other side of road at Ave 2 to get across to gate 2?

Well… since I come from south rather than north.

Hi Parents,

This topic/question may not be new to this group, but on Day 2 of dropping my girl off at St Nicks, I’m amazed how bad the traffic built up outside the carpark 26 (gate 3) and main gate 1 drop off. I had to drop my #1 at RGS, before driving to drop #2 at St Nicks. Today, my car reached around blk 256 stretch around 7am and was stuck there for 15 mins with no chance of turning into carpark or st 13 (both gates). In the end, my girl dropped off along the street and walked to school. Sorry for the long story above, but I’ll like to enquire from experienced parents of St nicks here, at what time does the traffic outside actually start building up? 645am? 650am?

TIA, appreciate sharing.

Does COP include HCL?

Anyone knows St Nicks IP uses macbook or chromebook ? TIA

Anyone knows if St Nicks IP uses Macbook or Chromebook laptop?

TIA

you should be considering the differences between IB and A levels plus the differences in how your DD learns and how IB and A are taught. Location shouldn’t matter if it were me. Plus she wants MGS, it will be more about convincing her beyond just convenience, having her want something is a added plus that shouldn’t be removed so lightly in my view

We have been researching quite a bit, and I also found this article provided very good info. However, IB vs A styles is still rather challenging to pinpoint for a 12yo.

Just curious, why not NYGH if SNGS an option? NYGH and MGS will be on par on distance, and leave you to compare A vs IB merits seriously.[/quote]NYGH was also on our list, however after recce the journey and route, we rather consider RGS, St Nicks, MGS.
NYGH waslking route from mrt is rather far. Plus my gal isn't keen on NYGH so that goes out of list.

DD 259+2. Still undecided between St Nicks IP vs MGS IB. We recce schools distances yesterday by taking MRT/buses. St Nicks has a Mayflower MRT opening soon which makes it easier to transfer 2 mrt lines (short distance) and we are staying around vicinity of Lor Chuan/Braddell. MGS also takes 2 mrt lines to get. I am more in favour of St nicks due to closer proximity but DD seems more interested in MGS. To be honest, i think getting to MGS in BT is a hassle should I need to fetch her (car) on some days. Trying not to force a decision on DD but it seems rather logical to choose St nicks. Any thots from anyone?

What is the reason for her being more interested in mgs? Is she more interested in mgs because of its IB or something else (like I really loved their library and swimming pool)?

We did ask her, coz she heard project based learning and might have gotten the impression not as stressful as A levels
