Hi,
my children (9 and 6) are starting at Dover Court in January. The little one (almost 3) will start in September there as well, if we like the school.
We are now looking into where to live and I am wondering about our options in terms of school run (I won't work, at least for now). I don't think we would want something walking distance from school (my husband said the neighbourhood around the school is not very lively and suggested looking at further options such as Holland Village, Tanglin or south such as Pasir Panjang).
-
school bus: I am worried that it might mean a very early start. From what I have heard, they might end up spending one hour on the bus even if we live only 15' away from school because of all the stops. It won't work if they do any after school activities and also, I am not sure it would work come September with a 3 years old...
-
bus or mrt: not sure if it is recommended. Are they crowded? It is hard to know how much we might be able to walk/scoot for instance given the heat? Should I even try to find an accomodation which could work with public transport?
-
driving: ideally, I would have loved to avoid to drive /have a car. But can I escape that if we choose a location a bit too far from school?? Is it a hassle to park near the school?
So I was wondering if you could let me know which solution you chose (regardless of school, but obviously even more interested by those of you who have kids at Dover).
Thanks...
