As the school parking space is pretty limited, traffic may be slightly heavy. During open house, u will experienced packed carpark and if u drive, u may encountered other cars blocking u when u wants to leave. However, please be patient as everyone is eager to know the school to give their child a good place to study and play.

Normal school days, before 7am, traffic is always fine.

After school hours, at 1315hrs, parents picking up their children will filled the carpark and traffic will be heavy once the children are released from school.
Also the school will be building a multi-purpose hall in the near future on the existing carpark space and so we may experienced further traffic and carpark issues when it's ready. But putting that aside, sgps has a good environment if u wants your son to enjoy and learns. So far my boy has been enjoying himself very well and he is able to adapt to his environment pretty well.

Go and experience the open house and see the vibrant and exciting atmosphere of the school which I think you will enjoy.

Cheers and have fun.

The bus fee is $237 for Punggol.

Pickup is from 0555hrs for 1st pickup point in Punggol.
Drop from from school is at 1425hrs onwards.

Morning traffic to school via SLE - CTE exit braddell would be the fastest route. It takes about 15-20 mins to reach school.
