Hi.


Just wanna ask... I am in a fix as to whether I should take Triple Pure Science or just stick to a Double Pure Science. I will be Sec 3 next year (2014) and would like to know the benefits of taking Triple Pure (including Pure Biology).

Is Pure Biology really that important? Please let me know ASAP.

Maybe you can read here and post your question here....

Flag day, sports events volunteers, NLB, salvation army, participating in charity runs or walks

Hi, Im interested to apply for my son to Maris Stella High (Sec 1). Anyone here can share your opinion about this school? Thanks.

It is a good school and im very happy with the choice

Abit expensive and im still unconvinced about the need for a mac book

Can you share what you mean by ‘expensive’?

[beepo]

Expensive - mac bk, 5sets of singlets, socks, house tshirt, friday tshirt, class tshir

Im still very happy with the school.

I am considering Maris Stella for my DS. Our concern is that DS will spend a lot of time playing games on his Mac bk at home cos now he dun have his own notebook, PC, etc.

Appreciate if anyone can share about discipline, teachers, etc.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks beepo, ive attended the open house last sat and am quite impressed by a sec 1 boy who tour us around the sch and also the boys in science lab and IT dept. They are friendly and seem happy with what they are doing. But I also saw a few boys who were talking loudly in hokkien which worries me abit. Can u share your opinion about the boys in the school?


My boy scored 241 in psle and is qualified to apply for schools with higher cut off point but besides academic performance, im also very concern about character developement. I prefer Maris Stella than 2 other schools that ive visited is because I find the boys there are more outspoken than those in co-ed school. What’s your view? Thanks.

computer games and boys . . .(and that expensive mac book)


i have not won that fight.

Perhaps when the O levels come around, the boy will settle down and study.

Dear Orange7,


Every school will have their cluster of students behaving badly. And secondary school is the time of their life when they are growing up and adjusting to all kinds of influences and an expanded freedom as a teenager.

With score 241, there are many good schools out there to choose from. You have a small luxury of choosing schools with that extra special bit like character development, great CCAs, good discipline, positive teachers etc etc.

Any school with students who are confident and they get out there to engage with the world is a good school to me. So far, CHIJ TP, Chung Cheng High and MSHS fall into this category (limited tour experience)

O yeah. . . at this stage, your child would also have his opinion about what school he prefers.
