      Hi,

      those with kids in Maha Bodhi, can i check with you , how do you all find the school?
      In terms of teachers , school environment and school culture .
      As i am deciding whether to put my girl (born in 2014) in Maha Bodhi which is a bit far from my place as i stay in Hougang but my hubby is a alumni or should i put her in Rosyth ( which i need to go through phrase 2C but i am within 1km - but not sure will get in as need balloting) ?
      Thanks in advance for all your feedback…

        Wanted to offer some perspective here as I had 3 dc who graduated from MBS. 2 in JC and 1 in secondary now.

        It depends on which part of hougang do you stay. We are in hougang and we had 3 direct buses from MBS. There are alot of MBS students living in the area....

        Personally I would go for MBS due to peace of mind as your dc is guaranteed a place in earlier phase. What if your dc don't get a place in 2C??? That was the same thought process for us years ago since I was alumni. I think the opportunity is kind of great....

        For us, no regrets on choosing MBS for the teachers, environment, cca and culture... my kids turned out as decent teenagers too.

              Hi,


              I am a alumni student. so my child will be able to apply under 2A2. how is the current school environment like? Why would u choose this over other school other than being a alumni student or priority over staying close?

                MBS has to be pro-Chinese language because it's a SAP school.

                As with all other schools in Singapore, English is the medium in all other non-Chinese subjects. However, don't be surprised to find Chinese spoken during assembly, CCA and at other times.

                    Hi All, I’m a newbie who joined today. This may be asked numerous time but i really need your advice. I tried to call SBF but they mentioned joining member doesn’t get me any closer to getting the letter endorsed. I need to find my own way through.


                    How did you all manage to get the recommendation letter? Able to let me know the process?

                    Thank you in advance. Really appreciate it.
