Hi LLX04,
If your DD is interested in Rhythmic gym, she can join the specialised CCA in P1 week 3 without selection trials. That way, chances of getting in is higher. From P2 onwards, it'll be harder to join as only the talented ones will be selected.

However, for Rhythmic Gym, their CCA is twice a week. Tentative schedule for next year is Monday (9.30-11.30AM) and Wednesday (10-12Noon). Cost is $90/term, payable by Edusave account or cheque/cash.

Tinkerbelle, r your gals doing rhythmic gymnastics?

Hi LLX04,

No, I just have the tentative CCA schedule 2011 with me..

Rhythmic gym is also good for DSA in P6 (ha, ha, still very far down the road). This year, 2 of our MCS gals got places in RGS during the DSA selection. :lol:

The Pupil's Helpmate is out of stock right? Any parents gotten the books? The english texts are exlcusively for MCS rght??


Got so many questions leh... but dunno who can help...

The Pupil's Helpmate is still in print. Every year, it will only be ready end of Dec. For P1 parents, not to worry, someone will walk to individual P1 classrooms when sch re-opens to ask who needs a copy of the Helpmate. You just need to give your DD the money to pay for it. Your DD won't end to queue at the bookshop.

Yep, the English worksheets are exclusively for MCS. They don't used textbook anymore under the STELLAR programme. :lol:

The info booklet listed the books t hand in on the 1st day of school so pls refer to page 8 of the MCS booklet.

Pg 8??? Paisay, thot it was juz to hand in to the teachers. Meaning no CL lesson on first day??? Hee.....

Hi cantbearit2,
The books listed are to hand in to the teacher, except for the textbooks. Usually, the gals don't have lessons for the first few days. Lots of house-keeping and introduction games for the gals to get to know each other better. The teachers will ask for the other books on other days so the gals don't have to bring everything in 1 day.

Hi all,

Also do any of you know if the MCS school bookshop sells PE shorts? I've got all my gals stuff already except for the shorts( that seems to be forever out of stock) and her excersice books only!

Parents with gals in 1RESPECT out there....is it my imagination or was the chinese teacher the only \"smiley\" one...the other two look so cold and didn't even return my smile....my gal super timid leh...hope the teacher won't put her off going to school.....

Hi funkymonkey and shree,
The MCS bookshop does not sell PE shorts. Only United Uniforms sells them. You'll need to wait till stock arrives.

These teachers in your DD's class on orientation may not be her teachers as they were only helping out with admin procedures. Not to worry, my DD2 was also very shy and timid beginning of the year and I was so worried. Now, she's very chatty and keeps chatting on the phone with her friends. Her P1 teacher was most encouraging. Most of the gals hug their teacher after sch daily. :lol:

funkymonkey:

Mine is sitting right at the back!Hope they'll switch places for gals who are shorter...

The seating arrangement is only temporary. The gals will be sitting in groups when sch reopens. Their groups will be changed every term so the gals will get to meet everyone in the class.

Hi Tinkerbelle


Is it true that the toilets in MCS are mostly dirty? My girl went to the toilet near the classrooms n she said that the toilet was dirty n there was no toilet paper. Sounds disgusting..

Hi preciousmoments,

Sad to say, the toilets in MCS are dirty!! :rant: A couple of years ago, a parent started a petition and many parents signed it. Subsequently, they did work to decorate the toilets to revamp it. However, it is still dirty, although it looks nicer. There is toilet paper now but it's not in the cubicles. It's found on the wall outside the cubicles. So remind your gals to collect their toilet paper before going into the cubicle, or bring their own tissues.

There is no ribbon in my folder
its ok, i am sure the sch can issue me another
my gal is sitting right in front of teacher's table, reg 22
and she is rather tall and big size, so i guess if the teacher re arranges, she needs to move to the back to give way for the petite ones:)
