Does the below classes name coincide with A, B, C … and so on?


Compassion - A
Integrity - B
Perseverance - C
Gratitude - D
Responsibility - E
Respect - F
Humility - G
Zeal - H

Wondering why P3 only up to from 3A to 3F, more students in one class?

I just received the letter regarding the uniform, books and transport... Luckily all not done together on the day of orientation *phew*

Hi autumn82, perhaps we stay in the same district. I've received the letter as well. Will u b ordering uniforms by post? I think we'll go down to look at the sizes.

I'll be heading down for the uniforms, then books will order online. I'm in Sembawang? U too?

Noticed a few changes this year. The uniform vendor and sch bus vendors are not going to the sch during orientation day this year??
Last year, the uniform vendor was there even though the P1s wore uniforms to sch for orientation. :scratchhead: Maybe for last minute purchases. Sch bus vendors were also there to facilitate arrangement and payment.

I would have thought that it would be more convenient for parents to buy uniforms and arrange for sch buses during orientation. No need to make another trip to the uniform shop at Lor 1, especially if the kids need to try the uniforms on. However, with all payments to be made in 1 day, :moneyflies:

Don't the P1 need to pay $60 cash for gymnastics fees? If the sch waive the gym fees, then you guys are so lucky.

I think there are some changes from previous years. For the exercise books with MCS logo, can it be purchase at pacific bookstore or only at MCS book store. Coz I'm thinking of purchasing all the books from Pacific, there's home delivery.

The papers didnt mentioned abt the $60 cash for gymnastics fees though...

Hi JonC,
The above order was told to my DDs by their form teachers beginning of the term. However, there has been some changes made by P. The P announced to the sch 2 days ago that the classes will not necessarily be in this order. She has even made changes to the top classes. Currently the B class is known as 'Integrity' and the D class is known as 'Gratitude'. From next year onwards, the top classes are 'Humility' and 'Compassion' from P2-P6. 'Gratitude' is the sports class for P3-P6.

There are only 6 classes from P3-P6 as there are 40 students per class whereas there are only 30 students per class in 8 classes in P1-P2. Still the same number of students...240 students per cohort.

Hope your DD's report book brought a smile to your face yesterday. :lol:

If you're ordering online, you can buy the MCS excercise books from Pacific. They'll know which sch's exercise books to supply you from your order form.

Just FYI, for home delivery, there's a delivery fee of $7.80 for up to 2 orders per delivery address or $15.60 for up to 4 orders per delivery address. Don't mean to be a kaypoh but I notice a few of you live in Sembawang. Maybe you all would like to split the delivery fee........cheaper...

For home delivery, if there are any books that are not available or out of stock (for example, the Helpmate), they will give you a form to collect the books from the sch bookshop when sch re-opens.

@Tinkerbelle


Thks for the info.

Looking this years P3 to P6 only from A to F class, if Humility exisits, means its G class, how come?

I am just happy that DD goes P3. DD needs lot of hardwork to be anywhere close to DS, sigh!

Hi JonC,
DD told me that only 6 of the sch values will be selected for P3-P6. The other additional 2 sch values will only be used for P1-P2. DD can't remember what all the 6 values selected for P3-P6 are. She only remembers P mentioned Humility, Compassion, Gratitude, Perseverance and Zeal.

I guess all children are different. I'm sure ur DD will excel in her own way & pace.
Your DD will be in AM session next year.....the wee hours will be a shock to the system huh...

Good luck to your DS for his PSLE results. ...8 more days to go. :celebrate:
