CHIJ (Katong) Primary

Daisy Duck,


We used to drop off and pick up from Marine Parade Road.
For pick up after school, I will suggest you go there about 15-20 minutes after school dismissal. This way there is less problem with the traffic, esp the buses.

I used to drop off either before 7am or late, close to 7.30am. Also managed to avoid the bad traffic condition.

I will keep away from Martia gate actually cos the traffic build up there can be quite bad.

Hi Sammifan,


Thanks for the suggestion.friends have been warning me to keep away from Martia gate too.

Sorry another question I hope you don’t mind…when it rains are parents allowed to drive in from Martia gate to drop off the child?

Anyone staying inside the school on the first day?

Anyone know what to pack for first day of school? For my son’s school, we were given a list on stuff to pack for the first day. For CHIJ KCP, I am at a lost.

Hi Daisy Duck,

Sorry for the late response. Thought I had replied but maybe I did not.
When the rain is too heavy, suggest you drop your DD at Martia Gate. There will be volunteers carrying big umbrellas to help shelter the kids when they are being dropped off.
Over at MP Gate, I think maybe only 1 person is doing that.

No need to worry about being late when rain gets too heavy. Traffic will be very heavy so I think the school will understand.

Thanks for the reply sammifan,no worries about late reply.now i dont need to worry abt DD getting wet when alighting:)

Dear Xeern

Hi, I am also looking for a student care centre near CHIJ Katong Primary when I saw another parent's (Aamama) comment on Page 12 of this discussion thread, which gave some info on a centre that is likely to provide student care service.

Do check out Page 12.

I wanted to register my girl at Tao Nan's in-house YMCA Students' Care Centre but the centre replied me to say that they cater for TNS students only. Anyway, TNS is temporarily shifting to a holding sch in Bedok in 2014-5.

Regards
Lindy

Thanks Lindy!


My gal is in her 2nd week of primary One. So far so good, she just complained that assembly is boring…different from her kindergarten…lol.

btw, does all primary Ones have PE lessons for 3 days a week? I didn’t know till i got the timetable, thus got to buy 1 more set for her.
