we are not able to go to tsl for the books and asking question about the school bus these 2 days....
thank you all for the information!!!

i have called the bus company this morning and my 1st impression is that even they can't have any confirmed answer at this stage which i do understand, they are still willing to help.

personally, i find the fare is a bit high.... but i was expected from some other parents' experience...
"it's more and less the same price as sharing a taxi with 4 other children.... "
(that's why i find it a bit high for me as i rarely take taxi myself... )...

hey, dear parents,
i have a question... after i signed up for the school bus service....
i have noticed that there is a extra bus route at 4:45pm everyday...
i suppose that is for the pupils after eca.
i suddenly wonder if our son will have eca everyday or not and finally only take the school bus at 4:45pm almost everyday...
is it possible? any higher classes parents experience that with their hyper active child?

should i consider this extra traveling fee in the monthly budget? :-|

that's actually what i'm thinking....
because the single trip is only 80% the round trip... so not much saving.
as the school start early, i may able to bring our son to school in the morning. (just have to make myself awake 1/2 hour earlier..... )
and he stays at school until 4:45pm for the extra bus to back home everyday. since he is very into all kind of sports and interest group of ECA. most likely he will take the extra school bus 3 to 4 time per week.... which make the return school bus somehow unnecessary..... (to be honest... the extra school bus will be actually even a bit cheaper than the 50% normal school bus after calculation.... ).
anyway.... every i check the total of my whole family spend on the transportation per month..... i die.....

Flos,

In your case, would it be possible NOT to take regular schoolbus at all ?
Just weigh the $$ first.

Dear parents,

I missed the chance to check for the bus fee.  willl someone here know how much we need to pay for a regular school bus service from Tsing Yi (close to MTR) to the school?

Thanks

flostangraphy

he he he, my calculation is:
base on average 22 school days / month, makes it 650/22 around 30hk/day and 15hkd per trip.
so if our son can stay one more hour in school library to finish the home work when he doesn't have ECA. we will then economic 130+(3x22)=186hkd/month. if our 2nd son lucky enough (we, parents lucky enough) to get an offer from tsl as well!!! times 2 in the future then!!!
also with my wife, we are planning take turn to bring him to school in the morning as tsl is on our way to office ( on our line of mtr actually.. still need to walk from olympic to tsl.) (yup.... parents with 3 kids... we need to count every penny... he he he! )
so connie mum, if you need arrangement in the future to bring her to school from tsing yi. feel free let us know.

I am paying $942 per month this year, my calculation is:
$942 x 8 months + $471 x2 months short
=$8478 per year.

In next term, the new school bus offers $750 per month(more or less the same), that i ...

you are right, there is only wed afternoon ECA is obligatory (finish at 15:30). however, seems there are ECA everyday after school (15:30 to 16:30 in option).
i maybe mis-understood.... anyone correct me if i'm wrong!

Hi Flostangraphy,

Thx for your info.  My girl took school bus to Tai Woo Hou from Tsing Yi and it cost 420 per month.  So I think 650 is not expensive at all.

I saw school circular that there was on ...

he he he!!! the ideal case is camill able to take care everything by himself, go to school and back home alone by MTR and bus, no need to follow his school and homework by us..... and even better if he can pass by the supermarket and buy the dinner for the family when return my ideal!!!

1/ called tsl last day and the Library and study room open with teacher on duty.
2/ no nap since K2, however our children go to bed around 20:30 to 21:00.   
3/ his kindergarten push the children make a working plan. i find this is a good idea! they have a daily writing down all the homework they plan to finish. most of time, i just correct the work he has done so far. other than some works he doesn't know how to do, he will wait for me or my wife, otherwise he doesn't really need us to sit beside him to do his homework (by now..... primary school will be another story..... ).
4/ and under my own assumption.... is, we start with school bus and see how it goes after, it seems that it is just a budget that we need to consider as a part of primary education fee... that's all....

Your ideal case is under the assumptions that
1.  the school allow P.1 student study at Library on his own
2.  Camill does not need a nap after full school day
3.  Camill will work on his homework i ...
