Hi, same situation here too. Staying in Punggol but former student of Maha Bodhi. Travelling is an issue, so would like to find out more about the school bus service and if the students are tired having to travel so far daily...

Hi All,

I live in Punggol and former student of Maha Bodhi, so I’m debating whether to send my sons there or a neighborhood school here around Punggol.

1) What time would the Punggol school bus pick up the kids? And what time do they need to reach school?

2) how much are the school bus fees 1-way or 2-way (If nobody from Punggol do share roughly how much are yours too)

3) How much are after school care fees? And is it hard to get a slot.

Thanks

Traveling time via car is between 15 to 30 mins (On average). Via Public transport, it will take between 45 - 60 mins.

You might want to consider the enrollment rate of your target school in punggol. This year, there quite a number of balloting (within 1 km) in phase 2C. Ie to say, if you stay > 1 km, you dont even get to balloting phase.

Traveling time is subjective. I recall that it was a normal to travel 2 hours via car in certain countries. Of course that works differently in Singapore. The going get tough in the upper primary as CCA starts kicking in. Heard of cases where student live in the East and studied in West.
