Hi kerbaya,

I don't know when or why MCS stop their sch sch intake but it's truly a shame. MCS has produced students who are such eloquent speakers such as Jean Danker and Suzanne Jung. A few of the current teachers are also alumni of MCS.

I give $1 pocket money to my P1 DD. She usually has her lunch at home and I pack some snacks for her recess. She would rather eat quickly and play than spend time queueing up for food. :roll:

If you're not packing food, usually $2 is enough for food and drinks. If your DD likes to shop at the bookshop , then you'll need to give more pocket money...haha

Thanks for sharing Tinkerbelle :thankyou:

To add, I think Indrainee Rajah (sp?), one of our present MPs is also from MCS.

Gecko[/quote]Hi Gecko,

Thanks for the update.
MCS has also done very well in the Plain English Speaking Awards in recent years. In 2008, MCS was the 1st runner-up for Upper Primary category. In 2009, a P2 MCS student was the Champion (Lower Primary) and she also won the Audience's Favourite Speaker Award. This year, our MCS girls were 1st runner-up for Lower Primary csategory and 2nd runner-up for Upper Primary category. Very proud of our MCS girls' achievements. :rahrah:

Hi all,


Juz brought DD to the dentist today. I chk wif him regarding opting out fr the sch dentist program and he told me that we will have to indicate our intentions by filling out a form. Otherwise our DDs will automatically be in the scheme.

Not sure if anyone else will also like to opt out? Wonder if Tinkerbelle or JonC has opt out experience or heard of anyone opting out? :scratchhead:

I had very bad experience wif my sch dentist as a child. Till now, I have great phobia each time I visit the dentist (any dentist). :nailbite: :scared: :sick:

Hi cantbearit2,

Same here....I also had bad experiences with sch dentists as a child. Luckily for my DDs, they said that the sch dentists are better now.

I checked with both DDs and they said that all their classmates go for annual dental check-ups at sch. DD1 mentioned that some of her classmates go for the annual routine check-up but will usually see their own private dentist for extraction, polishing etc. If you're not keen, I believe you can opt out of this scheme during orientation where you have to fill up many forms (one of which is the dental form).

Hi kerbaya,

Currently, there are no school fees for primary schools for Singapore citizens. You'll only need to pay the standard miscellaneous fees of $5.50 (applicable for all pri schs) and the second-tier miscellaneous fees of a maximum amount of $5.50 (varies with each sch). In MCS, you're looking at $11/month in mics. fees for Singapore citizens, paid through Giro.

Only PRs and foreigners need to pay additional sch fees of $3.50. As of Jan 2011, PRs' sch fees will be increased to $22/mth (exc. mics fees).

Hi Everyone. My name is Fhamy and I'm a dad who is totally new to this and my girl is attending her P1 in MCS in 2011.


I was wondering if anyone could help me with the matter that I have on hand. I live on Elias Road in Pasir Ris and I was informed by the recommended transport vendor that they don't cover that route. I had the same response when I was referred to another vendor.

Does anyone on this forum has any contacts for a reliable school transport company that would take up this job? I'm contactable via my mobile below.

Cheers

Hi fmastuki,

:welcome:
Have you tried Chua Bus Services? MCS uses their services. Maybe you can try calling Mr.Chua on 6452 4650 / 9665 4521 to make enquiries.

Thanks for the info, Tinkerbelle! :thankyou:

Think I will still choose to opt out (once bitten, twice shy) for DD.

Many forms during orientation? Do we need to pay for anything on the spot on that day?

Anyway, if any mummy is interested, it is a long....... waiting list. The centre supervisor says most likely they will call up all parents somewhere in Nov and will interview the parents. Priority will be given to needy families first.

Good news, cantbear12 and all!!!

Rcvd a call from the centre supervisor that they are able to confirm my waitlist!!! Going to check out the place this weekend!
