Hi Parents


Any idea whether there will be some sort of CNY celebration this friday and if school will end early?

Hi Bluebellas,

Hi Concern mom,


Welcome to the forum and thanks for raising up on AMKPS. I was from AMKPS, so technically, i am an OLD Girl and this allows me to register at 2B..

My only concern,4 years ago, was AMKPS was a dual session primary school and it makes working part-time logistic arrangement very difficult, so that was why i did not register my girl for my alma-mater.

Not sure if the school now is single session?

Cheers,
Astee

concern_mum:

hi, how about Ang Mo Kio Primary School. Has anybody made any comparison betweent these 2 school?

Hi Concern Mom,

My choice for TGPS seven years ago also because of single session. Though AMKPS is just next to my block.

Dunno abt AMKPS, but TGPS had been improving alot, heard this year they even implementing Ipad learning for non-core subjects. But still dunno the details yet. Unfortunately, my DD left TGPS. Haha.

Cheers,

Hi Tango,


Thanks for your update on the canteen situation. We know the school will do its best to ensure every child get his/hers well deserved meal.

Changes in cantee menu - sushi, pizzas, bento sets...haha. Just kidding. :boogie:

Wishing all a great weekend with you kiddos and enjoy the 1st weekend of 2012!

Cheers,
Astee

Hi Bluebella,


I met one of my girl classmate's mom and she told me her son had the same issue on day 1 when all the food was sold out and the stall that had food was having long Q, so her son went without lunch. He is in P4,same as my girl.

I think the canteen vendors didn't expect the huge demand and thus resulted to the shortage. So it will be good for parents to feedback to the school and they can informed the vendors.

Let me know if you need help to bring lunch to your son, i have been delivering lunches to my children for the last 2 days. (P2 & P4).

I was hoping the school can arranged for catered lunches....

cheers,
astee

Hi Astee adn Bluebellas,

Sigh, with nearly half of the school kids having lunch together, I really wonder how the small canteen can handle such a big load. We should call up the Principal to feedback on this.

I like Astee's idea of catered lunch. May be give the students a choice of either catered lunch or buy food from the canteen vendors. That way, the crowd will be lessen and the canteen vendors still have business. Since I work daily, I have to get up very early each day to prepare lunch for my DS. Kind of hard to pack lunch in the early morning that stay fresh till the noon time . I use thermal food jar and can only pack 1-dish meal. I think I am gonna run out of idea on what to pack by next week :scratchhead:

Hi rejoice,

fyi, school is looking into the lunch break crowd very closely, they had even time the last students who queue for the food, hope the timing can be improve further. There will be a survey going on the food that the children eating, there will be some changes in the menu selling in the canteen or other possibly sources to ensure the children have a healthy meal.

Cheers,
