Hi, does anyone know if there's a after school care at MSHS? I googled the learning chapter and saw they've permanently closed.

Thanks.

Yes there is. They changed to a new vendor this year, it’s called Ace@work Student care.

child is entering MSHS (primary) next year through phase 2C and got curious about the school’s recent developments so I read the entire thread. yes all 362 pages. i have come to some conclusions:


1. seems like posts praising the school or criticizing the school comes around during the P1 registration period. it makes me wonder what are the motivating factors for the uncanny timing

2. there are posts about bullying and many times it seems these were borne out of frustration because parent felt that school did not do enough to prevent or remedy the situation. i came from a hokkien huay kuan school (in the east) and i was also bullied (called names and even one time had a metal water bottle thrown at me that resulted in a broken nose which I still suffer from till today). i really think bullying is in every school. parents have to teach their kids to protect themselves.

3. i am heartened to find that parents have been posting how stressed they have been about the children’s academics but it seems very heavily skewed towards mandarin. this tells me that the school is doing alot in that area but i do wonder how is the math and science departments doing

4. there were a few rare posts that talked about PSLE results across the years. so for the sake of everyone i decided to compile the data and put it into perspective for you:-

Primary 1 intake: ~270
Secondary 1 intake: ~330
Primary 6 student who qualify for affiliation: ~50% of Primary school intake (~128 students)
Primary 6 student who chosse to go Secondary school section: ~30% of Secondary 1 intake (~77 students)
GEP per cohort: 10-15 students
Primary 6 student who do not qualify for affiliation: ~127 students

i infer that ~20% who qualify but did not choose to go Secondary school section majority are kids who scored above 240 range (i think it’s about AL8-9) as this score will have more choices (academically speaking)

i wouldn’t think there is a better choice out there for kids scoring 220-230+ (not saying they did very badly and had no choice but being able to enter MSHS at 220-230+ is really a steal as they really proven to value add alot)

5. i think if P6 parents will be so kind as to disclose their DSA results on this thread, it will be really useful as i think this is the only data point lacking in this thread

6. i do not know if MSHS (Primary) is a "good" school academically given i have no idea how other primary schools are doing statistically

secondary school posting results came and went. there is nothing official yet but online speculation is that MSHS secondary section has reduced their cut off point from 14 to 12 this year

some say it is due to an overall easier exam last year, some say it is because primary section did well and more of the better performers proceeded into the secondary school

all in all MSHS as one of five full schools in Singapore has performed well. we can also see how the secondary school cut off point is affected by performance of the primary school section

the five full schools i know are (do correct me if i am wrong):

a. Catholic High
b. CHIJ St Nicholas
c. Maris Stella High
d. Methodist Girls School
e. Singapore Chinese Girls School

These schools offer Pri 1 to Sec 4 and the Pri and Sec section have the same Principal and share the same campus

For the part in bold, I believe the COP improved (harder to get in) from AL14(P) to AL12. See the appeal form below that mentions AL12 as the COP (2023 PSLE). For reference, the non-affiliated COP for the last three years (2021-2022-2023 PSLE) has been AL12 - AL14(P) - AL12.

Best of luck to your child next year.
