that so called nearer passageway has been touted since last year when they moved back to the current school site until now and frankly no clearer or definitive timing when its going to happen…

Does the school provide lockers for the kids? As my kid may have to walk I hope the bags won’t be super heavy. She’s quite small sized

My friend mentioned no lockers but most of her gal’s textbooks are collected and kept in school. Not sure if this practice is consistent among all the teachers.

They do not have individual lockers but the majority of the textbooks, art stuff are kept in their respective classrooms. They would usually keep certain of their work books, work sheets, some exercise books, their snacks in their school bag etc…that said while it is less, i still feel that the bags are still heavy…

Hi mummies,


A couple of questions:

1. Does anyone know if parents can hang around in school during 1st 3 day when DD start P1? Or is it drop the kids and leave?
2. Is there a lot of homework for P1?

For qn 2, my friends say marymount quite ON in terms of homework. one friend was comparing with ACS and feels Marymount has more homework.

Aren't you wasting your application?
With 11 vacancy and 29 registration as of yesterday, I would assume most, if not all, are < 1km.
Would suggest you contact the school to find out about the latest stats while you can. If you need to reapply elsewhere, you still have time.

1. You can hang around shortly after you drop them off and again at their recess time. They will be in their classes at the other times so parents got nothing to do and you cant venture to the other parts of the school.
2. I feel yes but if your girl can finish them in school then its less.

I have called, so far, within 2km is safe .
