Hi hi,

My son also CO to CHS vis sports. What a coincidence that we are also staying in SK. Hope the boys will enjoy their school in CHS
[quote=1J2Ms post_id=1940091 time=1570413683 user_id=179190]Just to share.

We went to visit the schools' open house and decided to apply for CHS instead of NCHS (we stay in Sengkang), cos my DS prefers CHS. We all felt very comfortable with the school environment and also the boys in CHS are really more refine and stands out from the others.

We did not apply for DHS, VS, TJC, NUSH cos it is really very inconvenient to commute from my place. These are all good schools but too bad it is too far away.

We applied for RI and was shortlisted. However, we all felt the stress there. Humble cannot be found in RI. Even as parents, I felt the stress when I heard parents talking among themselves and all competing what medals their DS achieved from the Olympiad etc etc. Hence, we decided to drop RI cos we felt that the child must enjoy his learning process and not be stressed by these external factors.

We applied for HCI too but was not successful cos my DS doesn't has the \"platinum\" medal from Olympiad. Another stressful school to be in.

So we are definitely accepting the CO by CHS.
Hope to know other CHS parents here too.

Good day ahead.

Quite a number of CHS boys in SK. I see them all the time (my neighbor both kids also in CHS - coincidentally, also formerly from MSHS).[/quote]Guess with the MRT its also more convenient to travel to Bishan.. Just hope not to have breakdowns..

For public transport, you can either take:
1) MRT - fast, require one change at Serangoon MRT but occasionally breakdown; or
2) Bus 50 - rarely breakdown but travel at a leisurely pace

Bus 50 is probably not the best choice if you are starting from SK Interchange. However, if you are starting your journey from the neighborhood of Fernvale, it’s probably a reasonable option. That said, bus 50 only brings you to Bishan Road, still need to walk to CHS or take a feeder bus if you want to stop at the door step.

Actually the best is MRT and then bus. Cos if he takes the bus all the way, he will not be with his friends…if he takes the bus (many bus options) to Bishan, he will be taking with many friends, and it will be more fun.

Yah, the best is still MRT and then 410W (or 54 / 52) from Bishan MRT, especially coming from Rivervale.
