Marymount Convent

[preciousmoments]

Hi, may I ask, for new P1 girls, when do they start CCAs? 1st, 2nd, 3rd term? Cos I understand that P1 Catholic High boys start their CCAs in 3rd term. Are the girls selected for CCAs like gymnastics, dance etc or do they get to choose the CCAs they want?


Thanks!

Yes I am also curious to find out when are the girls starting the CCA in P1?


May I know what is GEP? I know it’s something gotta do with gifted program… but may i have more info?

Nothing much has been mentioned about the chinese/mandarin in Marymount Convent. Can any parents give an insight about the standard and achievements for chinese??

I have just called Marymount Convent today. The lady who answered my call said that the girls need not wear uniforms on the orientation day this year. She said new principle so there are changes in the procedures etc too… letters will be sent out very soon to all P1 parents. The orientation will end ard 12.30pm.

The annual GEP selection tests are open to all P3 students - it is optional whether students wish to sit for the tests. There are two tests, only short listed students will take the second test. More info can be obtained from the MOE site : http://www.moe.edu.sg/education/programmes/gifted-education-programme/

For more GEP info here on KSP site, you may wish to also search under, \"All about GEP\".

Hi Tinkerbelle. Thanks anyway. I've written to the school site seeeking some help from them in finding out if there are any other students that lives in the east, ie Bedok, Tampines or Pasir Ris that are interested in the school bus. If I could get 10 students, I could possibly get a school transport company to arrange for a combi bus. Otherwise, it'll be difficult for me to send my girl to school as it clashes with my work.

Hi fmastuki,

Wishing you all the best. :xedfingers:

Just wanna update you that I received a call from the school's official transport company offering the service from my place on Elias Road to MCS. Fees are doubled and timing is early, ie est, 10.30am pick up and 8pm drop off. I'm actually happy that my situation has improved from where I was previously and am ok with the transport charges. Only concerned about the travel time though I'm thankful for what's come my way so far.
