Thanks phtthp for the insights. We do not receive any letter to attend Alumni meetings. Do you know how we can find out? Thanks.

I guess there is a difference between joining the Alumni and being an old girl/boy.


Sentinel, if your hubby did not join the Alumni, there will be no communication from the school. Only those who join the 校友会 (fill in form, pay subcription, join their activities) will be considered ‘Alumni’.

For majority, (people like me), we graduated from MBS but did not join the Alumni.

(guilty, guilty) Never thought of our alma mater until our kids’ registration.

There is a top student who aced his exam and scored the highest for Chinese in the lower primary. He went to one of the Beijing Language Centre for tuition.

Hihi wolfgirl

My hubby paid for the subscription leh. But he is an ordinary member, not a life time member. Aiyoh…now I need to question hubby to see if he applied for the correct membership…He said he will receive news from sch e.g to attend concert etc…but nothing on Alumni meeting. Could that be for life time member? Or is it life time member then considered Alumni? Confused now.

My daughter is also in P3 next year. Her teacher says there's no more \"best\" class, unlike in P5-6. (I believe 6I and 6J are the \"best\" classes next year.)

My friend's son is in 3I next year. Can safely say 3I is the top class in 2015 as this boy did really extremely well for both his P1 and P2. He could score almost close to 100%!

Everyone starts with ordinary member. You are converted to lifetime member after x no. Of years. Can't remember was it 2 or 3 years. I joined the alumni when dd was few months old.. was a lifetime member by the time she registered for p1.

I suppose it depends on how one wants to be engaged. Other than making donations (voluntary basis), I have not attended any of those events. I am happy that way.

Thnx blue belt and councilor.

Councilor, does it mean only lifetime member is considered Alumni member ?

Hi lost bunny (nice nickname! :-))

Thanks for your replies.
For Chinese banding, from what I understand, there will be 2 best Chinese class in P2 usually. May I ask, how is the Chinese banding done from p3 to p6? Can I trouble you to shed some light again? Thanks.

For P3 onwards, there is only 1 best CL class. Usually close to 40 pupils.

The moment you join as a member, you can qualify under alumni phase.
