whoa!

if you can get bank fixed loan for say 3 yrs - then i think at present it will still make sense not to clear the loan. cpf provides a higher return than the bank loan interest and housing loans are the "easiest" form of loans to get with the "cheapest" cost. i would rather get a fixed rate loan, then take my cpf to do sound investments. even the most conservatives should give you a slightly better return than the bank interest rate.

i also have this problem. every friday night, have to think about where to bring the kids and what is the schedule/plan for the weekend. they are in the house monday-friday and weekend is the only time that they get out of the house.

hugh? you mean you are willing to subject your child to this i.e. carry a GPS tracker?

[quote=\"mommyNg\"]I personally prefer they have shuttle buses between NYPS and CIS, both in the morning and afternoon. How about afterschool care, enrichment and CCAs? Some P2s already in school teams. The students still have to come back to the main campus rite? I hope the Sch considers all these carefully. I think I would email the P later today about this.

please keep us updated on the response. :celebrate:

Ok, any other issues, points, and concerns? I'll include them in the email too!
Hopefully I'll get some response!![/quote]i think the area of concern will the choice of CIS. is there any other alternative for consideration? if there are, perhaps we can explore each plan a little further.

if the only choice is CIS, then the consideration will be logistical issues. how best to hep the parents get their kids to school. what will be the best option that is workable for all parties (parents, children, school). its no small task as i believe one will never be able to satisfy everyone.

i guess the main gist of the consideration has to be transportation from NYPS to CIS in the morning and CIS back to NYPS at the end. NYPS has to be the official drop off / pick-up location, although i realize that some parents would rather drop off / pick-up at CIS. but remembering that these children are P1/P2, they really need to learn how to get home nd to give them confidence. imagine the chaos at dismissal when some children will be picked up at CIS whereas others will be picked up at NYPS. it will be so much simpler for teachers if all drop-off/pick-ups are to be done at NYPS. teachers will assemble with the children at NYPS do a roll-call in NYPS then take shuttle to CIS for classes. at the end of day, teacher will do roll-call again and take shuttle back to NYPS for dismissal. no drop-off/pick-up at CIS. that's my 2cents.

agree that toh tuck is a little far. perhaps the principal would like to ask for alternative suggestions and feedback? personally, i don’t agree for dual sessions. there will be too much disruptions, especially to the P5 P6.

How long will the rebuilding be? I will be running all over the place...

Based on the circular, it will be Jan 2013-Dec 2014.
