P3-P6 AM sessions. Not sure when the whole school will be single (AM) session.

Now he is AM session,he always nid to try hard to keep himself aware to complete his homework in the afternoon.

If it is PM session,he feels more afresh to do his homework & for me to do revision with him,in the morning.

when he was in PM session last yr,i hv more time to run errands after sending him to school at noon.

I'm not sure if the list fully reflected all the school that is going to single session 2010. I heard that CHIJ Toa Payoh will be single session in 2010. Any parents has any info on that ?

CHIJ will still be operating partial sessions in 2010. All the levels will be in AM session except P1.

I think the full list of AM/PM schools can be found here: http://www.moe.edu.sg/initiatives/single-session/#single-session


Even schools intending to go single session in 2010 are posted there. Good info for parents 🙂
thanks for the useful info!

Hi titank.. sounds to me like you are the one going to school.. 😉

Assuming start at 7.30am & ends like 12.45pm.

8am - that's nice, although 8.30am would be even nicer. 😄


Noted your suggestion. Let's see which school DD ends up with and we can see whether got to write petition or not.
830am isn't really good for some parents, like me and sashimi, cos we would still have to send DD early to avoid being late for work. So her sch's current arrangement is fine with us.

Her sch doesn't really end that late. Normal AM session ends at about 1250-1pm. Her sch ends at 130pm except on Wednesdays (at 1pm). CCAs and remedial end at about 4pm.

My friend’s son studying in maris stella (assembly at 7.45am) has to board sch bus at 6.20am as she stays in Balestier.


My son, also in single session with assembly at 7.45am, would be boarding sch bus at 7am. He reaches home at 2.05pm on the average when lessons end at 1.30pm.

Single session is really perfect for me right now…

They need to ferry working group and will not be able to do so if both students and working group start at the same time.


I know of a friend whose kid is in the AM later session (8am I think) but ended up waking and going to school at the same time as those whom start earlier due to school-bus early pick-up time. Ended up school ends at later time (as school starts late). As such by the time the kid reaches home daily, it’s almost 3 pm and that’s usual lunch time.

Busymom:
Really!? :shock: Can petition one?


For a start, which single-session schools actually start later and at what time?
I think if enough parents ask for it, the sch will have no choice but to consider and give parents a confirmed answer, right? You can always argue that other single-session schs are already doing it and there is no worry that a later ending time will affect the PM session since there is no PM session anymore for the sch.

Of course, don't expect them to start as late as 9am or maybe even 830am. I know that some sec schs do have a late starting day once a week, like instead of 720am, they start at 820am, but the teachers will still have to turn up by 720am.

My DD's sch has been running single-session for a few years already. They start lessons at 8am but I think students must be assembled for morning flag-raising, etc by 745-750am. (Not sure cos my DD reaches sch around 730am.) Sch ends at 130pm daily except for Wed (1pm).

Qn: Which single-session sch starts later?
Ans: Sorry, I don't know. I don't think MOE has a public list too. Why don't you ask around in your area first?

Fron the kids' perspective, I also belive AM is better for them. As a student, I had always preferred the AM session.


If only single-session schools can start their class later, instead of 7.20am... It would be perfect!
Some single-session schs do start later. You can always check with the sch. If it doesn't start later, give feedback and ask other parents their opinion too. Maybe can write a petition. 😉

KS_me, you are one of the few who prefers PM session. Most of the earlier posts prefer the AM session.

Yup!...

😢 😢 Not sure how to cope by then but anyhow still got to put through it rite?
