Your DD should enjoy the orientation programme. Get to come in full MCS uniform and meet form teacher & classmates. :lol:

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!

Hello chergaby,

I also received the call!!! Hee.... :lol:

Hi,

I'm actually an \"old girl\" - gosh that sounds awful! Anyway, I was there 10yrs - Pri through Sec. All levels shared the same building and it was really nice. They closed the sec levels when they tore down the old building 10+ yrs ago. Sad.

We were so small there were only 2 classes per sec level. But that meant that practically everyone knew everyone or at least almost everyone's names. And yes, we've churned out many eloquent speakers like Jean Danker and Margaret Lim and also many other successful women.

10yrs ago I organised our 10th Yr Reunion at the new sch building where your girls are now. It was nice to see the school upgraded to cater to the needs of the girls now but I think most of us missed our cosy old school. Can't believe I'm in the midst of planning our 20th (!) Yr Reunion next month! I can still remember my time in sch vividly, hard to believe that most of us are mums now (some even with daughters back in MCS). One thing for sure, none of our parents were as \"ON\" as you guys! Maybe you should rally for the reopening of the sec sch! I think many \"old girls\" like myself would be more than happy to back such a petition!

Anyway, all the best to you and your girls from an \"old girl\"! :rahrah:

Hi Amberz,

thanks for your sharing. Looks like you have enjoyed your 10 yrs at MCS.

Hi cantbearit2,

I agree that you should opt out of the dental prog. if you feel so uncomfortable about it. Just remember to remind your DD that she's not to have any dental treatment at sch because the dentist will sometimes ask girls to go for dental check-ups during recess and/or before lessons start. If your DD is not aware, she might just hop on that dental chair.... :politebleah: But not to worry, I'm sure the dentist will check the consent form.

Ya, quite a few forms to fill in during orientation but I can't remember the exact number...sorry. If I remember correctly, there is a form to update pupil's details, a form for Edusave Fund, a Giro application form for paying fees, Dental consent form and a consent form for catechism lessons.

Don't forget to bring NRIC for both parents and bank account number for Giro form.

Ya, need to make payment on Orientation Day. Don't know if there will be a price hike next year, but this year, we paid $77.50 (for those taking Chinese) and $63.50 (for those taking other Mother Tongues). Breakdown of fees: Gymnastics fees for the year-$60, Report book-$3.50 and subscription fee for Chinese 'hao peng you' (35 issues)- $14.

Hi Tinkerbelle,

:thankyou: :thankyou: :thankyou:

If there are no changes next year, all the P1 gals will have to attend orientation in full uniform on the 20 Nov. Yep, that's right, you need to buy uniform and shoes in Nov. in time for orientation day. The sch will send an official letter to all parents early Nov. to inform you about orientation details. :lol:

Just to share, when shopping for uniform, maybe can buy a size bigger because some kids can really grow over the holidays. My P1 DD had a growth spurt and her skirt became a mini skirt end of term 2..... :shock:

Congratulations on getting a call from the childcare centre.

Yup, b'cos of distance. If they have many CCA along the way, no need to depend on CCA bus. Jus pop in to the student care after CCA (if in morning session).

Don't compare the pl with a childcare environment and u will find it easier to accept.

Went to a few bomb shelter kind of student care, find it cold and unhealthy and no proper pl for activities.

Good Shepard, although looks a bit run down does cater for the different activities. It seems pretty cosy too. Check out the pl ya?!
