We have applied for Dover Court as i think the waiting list for Tanglin is two years.

Kind of looking at Holland Village/clementi area to live as we dont want ben to travel far for school.

My husband has worked there for a year and lives on Bukit Timah road, but is too busy for me

Hope everything works out okay

Hi Ladies,
Welcome to singapore!
Lynda -I'm a mum of a nearly 7 yr old at dover court. Will your son be starting in y2? When are you arriving. I'd love to help if you had any questions please just ask. Actually rumours are there a new boy starting in our class next yr...wonder if its yours? Make sure you buy some good school shoes pref sandals (it's hot) before you come over. Those classic leather school shoes that he's wearing at the moment will be too hot for him. You'll have a nightmare trying to rush around getting sizes etc over here. And bring a big, fun rack sack (like his fab footy team or something).

Nikki - yes holland village would be ideal and there's some lovely more suburban type areas where you can actually see green, canals for jogging and dog walking and stunning areas between holland v and clementine. Again if I be of any help please just ask.

Nite nite its nearly midnight...school run already beckoning me....

My daughter is starting in year 2 at the start of next year. In the process of moving now. Many thanks for the tip about sandals. I wasn't sure if health and safety would go mad! Any other things they need for school that aren't provided or bought from the uniform shop? What do they wear for PE. Thanks.

It will be fine. It is a sporty school. I am more worried about the heat! When are you moving out or is it a change of school?

That must be tough with him being out there already. We are moving in the new year so I will be a few months ahead of you. Exciting and scary at the same time!
