Dear parents,
Any transport services to Cedar from West (Choa chu kang area)? I am considering Cedar for my girl, but far away from home. Would be helpful if anyone has info on transport services (at least one way in the morning)

At the moment, if u refer to this school bus service (Cedar Girls), no school bus travel to the west

However, u can contact the vendor, ask whether next year (2023), can open a small mini school bus, to fetch students from the west ? Who knows, maybe there are parents similar to your situation, staying in the west too.

If is a small mini school bus, ask : minimum, need how many students , before the vendor willing to start operation ? At the same time, try to find out, who else (besides your daughter), staying in the west, also keen in Cedar Girls Sec ?

Hi kind parents, can I ask if anyone know of girls who managed to get into Cedar Girls at cut off point of AL9 even though it was placed as their second choice? We are trying to decide if it is safe to put Cedar as second choice as a backup or put AL10 school instead. Thank you.

You may also consider taking bus 188 from Choa Chu Kang to Bukit Batok to catch express bus 506 which travel via PIE to Potong Pasir or Woodleigh MRT.

Thanks. But, travelling by bus, on a typical school day, considering the waiting time, crowd, traffic jams ++, I guess it needs at least 1.45 - 2 hrs.

Also we visited the school location y'day. I feel pretty odd and isolated location
Anyway, still, a day more for us to decide!!

Since now is school holiday, you may try to travel via bus 188 and bus 506 in the early morning to check how long it takes to the school. I travelled by bus 506 before during off peak hours and found it is quite fast to reach Potong Pasir.
Or you can try to take the DownTown Line to Little India and catch the North East line to the school.

I am thinking.
From your house (Bukit Batok) to Cedar Girls, the distance travelling is too far, for your daughter.
Perhaps,
can consider Nan Hua, Crescent Girls, Bukit Panjang or some other schools nearer your house. Unless you rent out your house in the west, in turn rent another house closer to Cedar Girls, for the next 4 years.

Just throwing out idea, in case your DD qualifies. CCK to SNGS via red and brown line is within hr, ard 51min using Google map.

Hello MrCool, how does your child feel about the different travelling distances? Perhaps that would help with the selections?

Hi
Thanks. Actually, our MT is Tamil. So we cannot go to SAP schools.
Bukit Panjang Govt school -> yes, but for Tamil, she has to travel to another school on a weekday.
Crescent -> Also an hour journey.

Swiss cottage is just opposite to our house... walking distance.
Renting out -> Possible. Still in consideration

Thanks.

She likes travelling. With AL8 (and we are Singaporeans), if we are lucky to get any of these SCGS-IP/O/MGS-O, she is excited to travel as it is very convenient. Bukit Timah area is her favourite and we are very used to that area.
But Cedar, with 2-3 transfers, and a new area, she is concerned.
