      Why not just wear normal school shoes like the ones from bata?
      We saw in the video, stated that track shoes is recommended as teenagers tend to do more walking and exercises in school, thus the track shoes provide better support for them.

        I think (not certain) at least 80% of sec schools in Singapore allow only regular school shoes. 🤷

          Not sure abt the others though. Asked a few friends abt theirs, also wearing dark colored or white track shoes to school. Probably diff from our era already. 😉

            OT:
            Hi, same - my dc1 (IP) principal is not as strict as the shoes rules dictate, so my dc1 wore black track shoes with non white socks

              A quick check on the internet, show many stating only regular school shoes. Some will state track shoes are allowed on PE days. Some are strictly school shoes. The few friends you asked could be talking about the well known schools.

                The video STmummy refers to should be DHS orientation video. Yes, track shoes are recommended. Stick to white, black, grey and navy will be safe and looks nice with school uniform, logos ok.

                  Do the MSP students still participate in Conversational Malay? Or do they use the time to do other MSP work?

                  Any idea of the rough percentage of kids that made it to Year 3 MSP?
                  Yes, MSP students do conversational malay too. I think MSP is formal Malay. So far, no mention of travelling elsewhere for MSP so presumably all 4 yrs in school.

                  I think Yr 1 had 20 MSP students, this dropped to 12 in Yr 2. No idea how many are continuing in Yr 3.

                    For parents who wants to know if your child is selected for third language. You can check via parent gateway. I had just received the outcome of the application.

                    Good Luck!

                      Thank you. Year 1 take-up is not too bad (Malay usually doesn't get much rah-rah-rah), and Year 2 survival rate is decent too.

                      I think all of the SAP schools should be able to offer inhouse for 4 years, as they have the teachers on staff to teach the Conversational Malay classes.

                      Best of luck for Year 3 MSP, see if can make it to the O Level Exam!
