Hi mummies & daddies


My girl is currently P4 at SMPS and we are contemplating moving to Punggol next year. My main concern would be the travel time to/fro school. Would appreciate if anyone can enlighten us on the following:

1. School bus - What is the pick up/drop off time and how much?

2. By Car - Is the morning traffic from Punggol to town really that bad as what many are telling me? Which is best route to take and what is the estimated travelling time to reach sch?

3. By MRT - I heard early morning trains are really packed as well at Punggol station. Is that true?

Looking forward to your replies.
Thank you in advance.

I'll try to answer as I live in Punggol

1. If traveling by school bus the best is to start at the beginning of the year, as they need to plan the route
. It's difficult to change their route mid year as it will affect other children pick up time.
My girl took school bus when she was in P1 , the transport company makes it a point to sent the P1 kids first.

E.g. If there's a p1 and p4 girls staying in Punggol they will alight the p1 girl first. My girl used to reached home by 210pm. The school bus normally move off from SMPS around 145pm

2. I drive my kid to school now. It takes 20mins to reach using KPE. The lastest I leave home @645am

3. MRT ???? Not too sure, never tried @ that timing b4

Hope information helps

Are the girls allowed to wear black shoes? I saw in the Rules and Regulations ‘only white canvas/sports shoes are allowed’. But when I was in school last week, I saw some girls in black shoes.

Hi,


I would like to find out whether any school bus goes to Potong Pasir? What’s the school bus fetching and dropping off timing?

[jacsplace]

Hi snowball, rs transport provides the service all over Singapore. Call them to see if they can give you rough timing. Actual times depend on where you stay and where the other kids in the bus stay.

HI! My daughter will be starting p1 next year in SMPS, and I was an ex-SMPS girl as well… just wondering, is it compulsory for p1 to take up a cca? Back then I was in a CCA as early as p1. Any idea?

The girls will choose their CCA in P2 (end Oct) and will start their CCA in P3
