Hi Tinkerbelle


Thanks a lot for your sharing.
It's great to have you around.
:hugs:

Glad to know the P1 form teachers are yet to be confirmed.
Hopefully they will all be friendly, cheerful and approachable.
Heard from a friend (not from MCS) that the child in the class pee at the seat on the first day because he was too afraid to ask the teacher......

Hi acbj,

You're most welcome. :lol:

Scary thought! Child peeing in class because of fear of teacher. Oh dear!! Hope that'll never happen to our gals.

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:

Hi Tinkerbelle, how's MCS' artistic gymnastics? Nt as good as the rhythmic? Next year's schedule is still wed n fri?

Hi LLX04,

Artistic gym is good too but rhythmic gym is the sch's niche and is more popular as most parents hope to use that for DSA in P6 if their DDs are good.

What your DD saw during orientation is rhythmic gym, where they use ribbons, clubs and balls for their routines.

Tentative schedule for Artistic gym for next year is still wed & Fri.

Wow, impressive!!! How abt netball? Do u know anyone fr MCS got into a gd sch via DSA route?

Despite the chaos, it is v reassuring for me to know that u seem 2b aware of all the happenings in MCS whether relevant to your DDs or not. It means that parents of MCS are well informed. 谢谢你这支强心针!!!!

Hi cantbearit2,

Sorry, I don't know about DSA statistics for netball. Just heard from a netball mummy that it's hard to DSA with netball as it's a team sport, whereas for gym, they have individual awards during their competitions. Having said that, I feel a child should persue a CCA she is interested in, rather than solely for DSA purposes. Just my 2cents worth.
I know someone who joined a CCA for DSA reasons and the child is suffering as she finds the CCA a chore and doesn't enjoy it at all, but she cannot quit as everyone is committed to a CCA for at least 1 year.

Ha, ha, I seem to know about what's going on in sch because I'm very kay poh....l :rotflmao: .

Hi all,


Today's the PSLE results out right?How did our gals from MCS did?
I understand that MCS offer \"foundation\" subjects as well?
Can anyone tell me more about them?
:?

Hi funkymonkey,

PSLE results will only be released on 25 Nov at 12 Noon. When I find out, I'll let you know how our MCS gals fare. :rahrah: MCS.

Wow, you're one enthu mama...already asking about foundation subjects.... At the end of P4, all students will be streamed according to their academic performance. For MCS, most students will be in the normal main stream who do 4 'standard' subjects (with or without Higher Mother Tongue) in P5.

Weaker students will be streamed to the 'foundation' class where they complete their syllabus at a slower pace. In other words, they'll take either 4 'foundation' subjects (for those who are weak in all 4 subjects) or 3 'foundation' subjects plus 1 'standard' subject (for those who are weak in their 3 core subjects but are strong in their Mother Tongue). There is currently only 1 Foundation class in MCS. Hope I didn't confuse you too much.

Callie Tan:

hehe... no lah. It's just that sometimes we might be caught off guard if such nasty situation happens and I might not wish to offend/upset the bus vendor since they will be fetching my girl to and fro mah... so must see how to tackle them...

wah, this mummy EQ v high leh... U still think of trf your DD to Aitong? What if turn out yur DD enjoys her sch life at MCS?

Not EQ high, it's I no guts!! Want to be fierce and aggressive but kia si, scared my girl will kena from the bus vendor if I offended them, hahaha...

Yes, as at this moment I am still sticking to my plans. In fact I submitted the waiting list for Pei Chun at Toa Payoh recently too... It will be good if my girl enjoys MCS but there are other relevant factors that we have in mind too... need to evaluate and weigh the consequences when the day comes for us to decide...
