Thank you[/quote]It is a different bus operator for Clementi and Jurong West. My dd is in 12-seaters van and the bus only picks up girls in Jurong West area before heading for school via PIE. My girl gets up the bus at around 5.50-5.55 am too but she is not the first one on the bus.

Clementi is nearer to SCGS but I do not know what is the bus size and how the bus route. Most buses are mini vans and they reach school between 6.30 to 7 am. My dd's bus reaches school at 6.40 am. The buses have to arrive early because they want to avoid traffic jams plus they need to rush off to pick up workers. Between 6.50 am to 7.20 am, there will be a traffic jam from the highway exit to the school.

If you could afford the time, it is better to send your girl to school directly. Go by Ulu Pandan Road --> Farrer Road --> dunearn road. I do not quite know the traffic on those roads in the morning but you would have avoided the traffic at Steven Road exit and along Dunearn Road stretch where the other schools are situated.

I believe Mr. Chua is the coordinator for all the buses. He is also a driver himself. He will consolidate all the pick up locations and distribute them among all the drivers who will then plan the route and pick up timings.

My DD's bus comes at 5.20am to pick.

:shock: Are you staying in the east? I have heard that the buses coming from the east pick up the girls very early. My goodness! Have you tried sending your dd to school before and see what is the time saving? We have tried but the saving is less than 30 mins. We also try to get out of the house early and try to get to Steven Roads exit before the traffic builds up and we always end up arriving in school after 7 am. My dd has to be in school by 7 am for her duties.

Yes in the east. Sending DD to school is not practical for us. Whole family comes along. DS in K1 at Kovan a d work place is at Alexandra. Need to go up then down again and up.

Anyway DD got used to it...

Poor girl! What time does she sleep at night? I hope she gets some sleep on the bus too.

What level is your dd in now? What happens in the afternoon when she has CCA and other activities? As they go higher, they have more than CCAs. My dd is in P5 this year and she stayed back for 3-4 afternoons. Next year P6 with compulsory supplementary classes, it is worse. I have promised her that I will try to fetch her from school everyday so that she can get home earlier to rest before she does her homework. All her afternoons will be occupied from January to April 2012 until SYF is over.

I understand school starts at 7.25am. May I know what time the girls must reach school before they get booked by the prefects for tardiness? Thanks.

Accordingly to my girl, prefects will be on duty by 7.15 am and booking starts after the national anthem is completed. The national anthem starts at about 7.20 am thereabout.

Think most girls will be in the hall, doing their silent reading by 7.10 am.
