Hi. I'm a current sec 3 student of maris stella and according to my knowledge there will be oral exams for english. Just not like the normal ones you used to have in primary school. Students will have to make videos of themselves talking about various things ranging from family to school(well it was like that for me). Also don't be disheartened by the results your children get. My results were also like that when i first entered maris stella. I can tell you that it is no joke. The standards in maris stella are really very high, even compared to top schools. Just try to encourage your kids to do better and improvements should be seen. If there are any more questions please feel free to ask.

Thanks for your input. Nice to have a student on board! And i sure agree MS standards are high!

I know I’m a bit ahead here… but can anyone tell me do the Sec 1s have any programs during the sep holiday week? Must they be in school? Also, when does the SA2 start?

I wish MS school website is more useful. I access the page as the platform to Studywiz and Admin Breeze. But it’s becoming such an eyesore seeing the page. It’s so outdated and doesn’t provide info like school’s year calendar and activities. Isn’t it embarrassing that it’s still showing 2008 announcements on the main page? Even DS’s neighbourhood primary school’s website is more impressive!


MITS has its own CCA website and it’s pretty good! I really hope the school’s front will be totally revamped soon, especially add photos of the teachers, the various CCAs, etc… These will help parents who want to see the teacher that their DS has been talking about and the type of team each CCA has.

Perhpas this can be brought up to the attention of the guy in charge of the IT dept.

I have to admit, I am on your side too Skyjuice.

Hi Parents of 1C


DS just got his SA1 results. Even though he passed his Maths, I asked him why he did ok only. He said 60% of the class failed. I noticed since the start of 2nd term there was no homework and topical test at the end of every topic unlike other schools. How to improve when they were not given any exercises?

For Chemistry, I was surprised to know that a two boys got single digit score. Don’t know whether their parents are cool about it? But for me its a shock! Because the COP of MSHS is 225. With all the boys range from 225 - 248, how come the boys Chemistry result score can range from single digit to 70+%?

Found out from DS that all the boys were playing games during recess. Someone from the class feed them with buffet of games and movies. DS refuse to tell who. Wonder whether parents know about what the "fun" MacBook has given them. Think its MadBook for me. How to prevent copying games or movie into MacBook? Think alot of distraction from MacBook.

I agreed with you. My DS is also from 1C and he told me about the boys playing games in class too. I wonder are other classes boys doing that too? Maybe you should bring up this matter to the form teacher during PTM. I am not able to attend PTM on the 27/5.
