By going school at 7.40am they will have more rest and physically more fit to "charge foward"

Why at the expense of families and students when TKPS & MOE did not have a forthcoming plan to accomodate the increase of students' intake. Education Minister Dr Ng should ask why..

This goes completely against the principle of 'growing up together'. Also as a working mother, I will be unable to maximise my time with both my children.

If a child finishes school at 630pm, he will be too exhausted to study in the evenings. And as working parents, his entire morning will be wasted as we have to be at work & have no time for him.

Displayed a general lack of consideration for parents who has many kids to care for. First of all, I am just mere metres away from Tao Nan. Couldn't get a place and have to travel to TKPS. Now, I have to arrange for two transports for two kids, one in the morning and one in the afternoon at TKPS? I am really disappointed.

So much for integrity, given that we were only informed of the change after we had registered.

One of my main reason to choose TKP because of the morning session, so my child will has much time to join other activities. and now all her schedules are routine.

2. we have planned far ahead for our second child to join TKP too, so it's easy to organize their time, and they can spend time together.

Changing the school's value proposition will decrease its popularity and demand over time with the added burden of having upset unnecessarily the lives of all the families that currently have their children enroled in TKP

When I registered my daughter for P1 last wk, nobody at the sch even mentioned it. This is an important issue which I think the school could have handled & managed better much earlier on instead of now when registration begins. It affects our lives, logistics & our schedules. I would like to know why this has to happen when the next P1 intake hasnt increased that substantially.

Come on, MOE already handled the dragon year cohort, surely they can handle the 2009 intake.

Most of the extra curricular activities that my child attends now (group classes) will get disrupted, infact some she may have to discontinue as it is practically impossible to have all of it on the week ends. And it is difficult to form a group in the mornings.

2. Childs play time in the evenings with her friends from other schools in the building will be zeroed as the child comes back quite late.

3. Early rising is a very good habit to cultivate which cannot be reinforced.

The best thing about single session is that you get to do so much more with the child after school hours. Although I only have the single child and he is not going to be affected by this change in session, I hope the school can keep being a single-session school for all the other parents that have been planning to put the kids into this school - especially those who did parents volunteer for 2009 and beyond!

This was why we enrolled our son last year.

Many parents like ourselves have planned our working life/school hours and after school commitments for our children based on single session hrs of TKPS. In 2007 the fact that all Singapore citizens or PR’s were successful hardly warran

My son's now in P1 and I chose the school because its single session. It was a big reason. He has other non-academic fun programmes in the afternoon like art classes and sports. I have a daughter in K1 and would like to send her there, but pm session will be a problem.

It will be very difficult to maintain her regular schedule if the school decides to have double session.

A very major factor that influenced me in selecting TKPS for my first child was that TKPS is a single session school so that when my two younger children join the school, they will attend school during the same hours. I don't see this advantage if the school even partially converts.

We also kids of different ages and it's more convenient & fun to do activities together after school. Such as going to the beach in the evening on weekdays (less crowded), swim in evening, enrichment classes.

It is very unfair and dissapointing, as I have to find another school for my child within one weeks time. It is also very dissapointing not to be able to join parents volunteers, whom I learned to like and respect and to continue to support Tanjong Katong Primary.
I hope this decision can be reversed
