I have to bring Zeeyau to school today though we have signed her up with a schoolbus. According to the schoolbus coordinator, parents of new students will send and pick up the kids on the first day and ride the schoolbus home with the child so they will know where the exact location the bus is going to pick up the kid in the morning. It is definately a hassle to make another 2 trips to the school today, but then, it makes Zeeyau less nervous and give me an opportunity to snap some photos.

The first day of school is somehow chaotic in an orderly manner. There were many anxious parents like myself, the traffic outside the school is bad (as usual) and there is even a camera man filming. Some students are in school uniforms and some aren’t. The girls wear plaid skirts, but in differernt colours, I wonder why. Students from the international division only needs to put on school uniforms on Monday, but I really hope she could wear it everyday.

Hopefully everything goes well. Now I have to get started on my second task, enroll Didi somewhere so he can attend school as soon as possible.

    New school year begins on 1st of September and ends in June, follows by around 2 months of summer holiday. I think the date of birth cut off date for enrollment is 31st of August, hence, there is some sort of peak period to deliver before September.

    Hi Huileng,

    Happy to read your new posts on Yauyau and didi going to school. :)

    School term in England begins in September as well and ends around mid-July which means Ryan goes back to school on Monday.

    I would love to send my kids to a Montessori preschool but there is none in my area. I’m sure didi will enjoy his school and do lots of learn through play.
