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.

ya.. i am at Rivervale area... is an hour journey to reach bishan but i like the idea of just 1 bus from point a to point b

What about 88?[/quote]its over an hour too. from punggol road...

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.

Yes.. will leave it up to him to decide... hands off when they go to secondary school. Time for him to grow up!!!

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

If it is MRT, should use overhead bridge to go across the road to take bus, there are 3 or 4 buses.

Across the road, there’s 13, 88 which passes through, as well as 52, 54 (coming from the interchange) that I’ve mentioned previously.

I just don’t find any of these options (crossing the overhead bridge, waiting for the bus) faster than waiting for 410W

Thanks for the advice 😊 btw, any idea sec1 Express uses what books? Wondering if I can use my elder boy books from 2018.

Many prefer to walk from Bishan MRT station to CHS (cross road at traffic junction and walk straight along sheltered walkway) rather than waiting for buses. It should take less than 10 minutes for the teenage boys.

Hi! Am new here. Wanna seek some advice…


My DS is in CHS Sec 2 this year… gonna choose his subj combi by today… he is undecided as to which humanity to choose… did not do well for both his Hist n Geog in recent exam. Got A2 for E Lit but Eng did not do very well too…

Wanna know if anyone can share about how CHS fare in O levels for the humanity subjs? Are the teachers good? Are there good ref materials given? My DD school provided a lot of reference materials to guide students for eg answering techniques, topic content and areas to take note etc which are very useful but unfortunately for my DS, for his Sec 1 n 2, other than English, Sci subj and Math, there are very little reference materials given for other subj.

Wondering how’s the school prep for their students for o level for the humanity subjs and other subjs?

My DS said he may choose E Lit but I am apprehensive cos it’s really hard to score it seems esp his Eng is not extremely strong.

Would appreciate any input/advice… many thanks!

Enjoy! I grew up listening to my dad (now dearly departed) singing his school song with pride. So it’s very familiar to me.
