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.

Called the school and I was told that the gymnastic fees will be payable at a later date if our girls wish to do gym... but I thought this is a compulsory PE program?? If this is so, we have to pay eventually...

Sure..sure.. is your dd gonna take sch bus?

yes she is taking the school bus to and fro school...

I am also staying in Bishan St 13 and my gal will be on school bus. Just contacted the driver and he said its around $50 this year, next year should have some minor fee adjustment.[/quote]
I called the bus vendor and was told it's $55 for us, we staying at Bishan St 22... btw, this is 50% off my girl's school bus fees for our Pre School so we aren't complaining...

They have 6 periods of PE per week over 3 days. 4 periods are allocated for PE3 programme on Wednesday. The other 2 periods are on 2 separate days where half the class are doing the usual PE activities like running, ball games etc and the other half are doing gymnastics.

In addition, for the P1 & P2, they have another 3 periods for Mass PE on Wednesday (where the P1 & P2 do activities together in the hall).

DD has 3 sets of PE attire but it's not necessary to get 3 sets if you do laundry regularly.. You will need at least 2 sets though.

Thanks for the info Tinkerbell!!

Good that pacific bkstore has all the books..

Oh yea, another thing, for girls taking catholic values, do they still need to purchase moral education books? Erm.. actually I can't rem which lesson whether moral education or which..

Hi autumn82,
Yes, gals taking Catholic Vaues will also need to buy Civics & Moral Education (CME) book. CME (hao gong ming) is compulsory for all students and will be conducted according to your selected Mother Tongue.

Okies thanks thanks~~

I noticed there is a specified date for P1 to walk in to buy the textbook in Nov, any idea why?? I thought of going to Pacific Bookstore to get the stuff on Sat after the orientation, is it possible?

The bookshop at MCS has designated dates for walk-ins for different levels to minimise waiting time. Even with designated dates, the queue can be long depending on what time you go.

Sch bookshop won't be open on Orientation Day so you won't be able to buy textbooks on Sat.

If you plan to buy textbooks from sch book shop, it would be better to pre-order online and self-collect. After ordering online, you just select MCS bookshop as your preferred point-of-collection and your preferred date of collection. At least when you get there, everything will be ready for you. You will just need to check through the items with the staff. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for a long time for them to look for the books and pack the books. Usually, the staff are teenage students who are only working temporarily so some don't know where the books are kept.
