Thanks Twinklesss, yes, the things to be brought to school is in the handbook.


I went to the school bookshop today to inquire about the nametaggs that was ordered about a week ago. Was advised that the tags are not ready…they will call us when it is ready for collection. Hopefully on time before the school starts…

BTW, any mummy here placing their child in a student care? I am contemplating Pro Teach at Blk 617…not sure if anyone out there has any comment on this center.

Thanks mummies.

Hi, My 2 sons are in P5 & P3 next year so I can provide a bit of info if anyone needs help. My son was in Pro tech when he was P1 & 2, after that stop as he is always coming home after 4pm since he was in P3. The center is quite ok.


The nametag colour is based on the level that they are in so all P1 will have the same colour and this year P6 colour will be next year P1 colour. But not sure what colour it is… House colour is only for their PE T-shirt.

Recess pocket money will depends on individual, I give $1.50 for my kids, but add $2 when they stay back.

The handbook is more like a communication book with the teacher and also for them to write their homework down or days that they have spelling/tests/exam/excursion.

The techers are ok so far as I do communicate with them personally through emails and phone calls.

Joining the canteen volunteer during the first week is the only way for you to get into the canteen when your kids are out for recess as they actually block the canteen to prevent parents from going in.


They dont actually require the kids to join CCA in P1 & 2, only in P3 then they will have some CCA open house for the kids to choose which CCA they like but its still optional. The list of CCA can be found on thier school website.

Thanks Belinng for all the useful information!


I have already signed up for canteen volunteer for the 1st 2 weeks of Jan.

[Fabbymum]

Wow...thanks for the useful information, Belinng. I have just registered my son in Pro Teach this evening...feared that the remaining 2 seats are taken away!


I intend to buy the handbook when I am there during the first week...guess I will miss seeing my son in the canteen since I wont be volunteering in the canteen.

I knew a mum today from another Pro Teach centre that has 2 kids in APS. She is very happy with the school and mentioned that the school is good academically... it is great to have good advice from parents who have had experience from APS.

Anyone with children taking the APS school bus? I heard they charge full rate although you require only one way transfer...:(

[Belinng]

For school bus, there are 2 types. The big one and the small one, I have experience with the big ones. so far okay as there is a auntie with the bus. The small ones will not have. I think all the buses charges 2-way even if u r taking 1 way even my daughter’s kindergarten sch bus do that. APS is considered one of the better ones after St Nic in AMK. The other school will be Mayflower, but I think a lot of parents dont like the location.

To all mummies,


I have a going to P4 boy in Anderson Primary and my girl will be in 1.2 next year.
When my boy is in Pr 1 , I put him at the aftercare center opposite APS. The charge is quite X as in $320 per month. I bring him to the center at about 8am and whole day he will be there. After a year I quitted from the student care center as I think engaging a maid is a better choice for my family.
