cantbearit,


MCS has no affiliation to any CHIJ, which is the main reason why some parents transfer their girls to CHIJ despite MCS being a very good school with very good teachers. Also note that the school’s results have been above average despite the transfers out of these girls(usu those with better results to schools with affiliations). If affiliation is a concern of yours, go for the IJs, if not, MCS is definitely a good school of choice.

Hi,


anyone can enlighten me if the girls have to take any test during their orientation or 1st day of school so as to split them up according to their ability??

Btw, how does the school split them up into classes?? By ability?? Oh, is there any orientation for P1 kids??

I'm so excited for my gal who will be joining this big family next year!!

Welcome to MCS.


Not sure next year P1.

My DD time no test.

It seems by random or maybe by order of registration.

Hello Happygolucky,

Thks for the explanation. Are your gals in MCS too?

I have given up on the affiliation issue long ago. More importantly, I have checked that the school bus ply to Hougang. Thus will be enrolling my DD1 in MCS next wk under Phase 2C.

Not sure how many parents r as excited as me. Hee.... :lol:
