I think for the lower level, most of the children look stress free, only the parents feel stress. My son also look stress free, he not even know how important of the exam. Anyway, just let’s him be, his still got long way to go. BTW, he is a cheerful and happy boy which i really enjoy his "big laugh" and all the "nonsense" words.

I like to thinkt he school stress us! Look at the homeworks they were given over the CNY period. Like that how to let them enjoy… it’s really not us…


The other thing I noticed was the preparation they were given when they were in Kindergarden. I felt my boy (who is in Pri 1) is more prepared then my gal (now pri 3). They were in diferent childcare due to change of my job.

Anyway, you are right…they have a long way to go…

Homeworks during CNY period? u mean for the P3 or P1? my son don have much homework when he was in P1 and also no homework during CNY. :?

We went back to M'sia last Monday and my boy really enjoy his long holiday till yesterday. Surprisingly he was willing to do the “additional homework” when I ask him to do so. I think all of us must have a break, this is really true.

For my Pri 1 boy… plus the show & tell he needs to practise. Yah! 2nd day of CNY, he has to start doing work liao…


My gal didn’t really have much. More for spelling and ting xie.

Maybe also depending on teachers.

Hi! My boy (P2) is asking whether i can let him join CCA, i just checked with the van driver and understand that the children who join CCA can take the transport back after CCA by top up $10. How come in previous posts, some mummy said no transport after CCA? :? can clarify?

[Tazyspin]

My understanding is those children who needs to attend supplementary classes (Pri3 onwards, twice a week), transportation will be arranged with an extra top up of $10. And 2 of my gfs complaint about no transportation for those other CCAs. Perhaps, other mommies can share if this is the case.


I know the bus driver for my route doesn’t have becoz not enuf no. of students to fetch.

I think there are 5 different transport companies in DLS. I believe the $10 is offered by one of the transport companies that have like 4 or 5 buses that fech kids to school everyday. I think they have one bus that picks students up at 3+ pm and another one that picks students at 5 pm. I am not sure if they would pick students from the other bus companies. Hope the information helps.

For those taking the shuttle bus between CCK and Teck Y, you can pay extra $10 and your kids can take the bus after CCA. If your kids are taking other school buses, it will depend on that transport company.

Need some info regarding CCA.

Hi Ramya

The swimming classes for P2 are not considered as CCA. There are only 12 lessons. But if your daughter wants to continue after the 12 lessons, she can join as CCA.

My girl is also in P2, didn't join CCA due to transportation issue. Waiting for the school to provide the swimming class schedule before solving the transporation matter.
