Where do the students wait at 1.30 pm? If it is at the foyer, perhaps parents can give their children some biscuits? Not advisable to allow the students to buy food from the canteen as it will likely cause more delay.[/quote]


Children use to wait at the foyer, now I heard at the library.Still not allowed to eat. My kid comes home at 2.50pm starving everyday.[/quote]

The kids have to ensure hunger from 1030am to 2.50pm (Round up to 3pm) which is almost 4 hours if they were on the school bus. Yes maybe more parents can feedback to the school to look into it, perhaps the same dismissal time. :imconstipated:

How does synchronising disimissal time help in the problem? The kids will still have to endure hunger from 10.30 am to 2.50 pm since they can only be dismissed at 2 pm.

If you are talking about dimissal time at 1.30 pm for all students, you have to take into consideration the following issues:

1. It implies that the P3s to P6s will have to stay back one day for their CCAs. This extra half an hour per day from Monday to Thursday adds up to two hours, which is equivalent to the time students spent on CCAs per week.

2. If everyone were to dismiss at 1.30 pm, situation would be very, very chaotic at the side gate. It would be even worse on rainy days.

P2 parents, how did your children cope with the late dismissal on Tuesdays and Thursdays last year?

As for the P1s, yes, it takes some getting used to.

There is no perfect solution and it is difficult for the school to please everyone. Every parent has different concerns.


Last year, my kid only had to come home late twice a week vs. 4 times a week this year. And I arranged all the after-school programmes on the non-late days. This year, every day is late and my kid can hardly rest.

I’m actually more concern with the kids being hungry. I do not want my kid to develop gastric at such a young age. I personnally feel that student’s welfare is the most important issue. Nothing is more important than health.

Fyi, some schools have 2 recesses if they end late.

Hi P2 parents, any one will join the P2 camp as PV this Friday?

Yes, my neighbour’s kid who transfer out of RMPS this year in P4 is very happy with the new school’s arrangement whereby the school introduce 10 minutes break during school hour noon time to encourage all students and teachers to enjoy their healthy snacks. The school also realize that a number of pupils do not have proper breakfast before leaving for school. As such also bring forward students recess time.
Agree with princessaurora that student’s welfare is the most important issue.

My DS got a feedback form from school asking about choice of have lunch in canteen or stay in library during school bus waiting time for P1-P2


Anyone knows when canteen will close? I heard that they will close b4 1:30pm. Then what pupils will eat during that time? bring food from home?

Don't think the canteen closes so early. Students from higher primary levels who are required to stay back need to take their lunch in school, too.

I have the same form too. Contemplating if I should opt for library activities but was told by 1 mommy that kids cant move around or touch the books in the library. Is this true? Got to submit form tomorrow. Sigh

[babystarlet]

I heard rmps quite focus on academic. Does p1 already have many assessments and tests?


Are they really so results driven?

Thanks all.

My DS in P1 has a supplementary chinese workbook from school and a spelling lists too?
