Hi maple,


What is "jump jam"? I think I miss this part during orientation?
Thought children have to wear normal sch uniform everyday?
They will change to sch T-shirt when PE lesson.

Any parent can advise?

Hi Mom 74,


I do not know exactly what is jump jam, think it is some sort of exercise for the kids before sch lessons starts.

On days when the children have PE or CCA, they will wear the PE T-shirt & shorts to sch, no need to wear normal sch uniform.

Hope the above helps.

Hi maple,

Hi mom74,

Better pray hard, as far as I know, p5 & p6 will be have the same FT.

My p6 boy got the same FT for 3 years!

Believe it or not, my P5 dd got the same FT as my ds!!!

My P1 ds FT teaches 4 subjects includes PE. Quite surprised the FT teaches PE too. Don’t know the FT can manage with so many subjects.


I remembered my FT did not teach us PE last time .

Just a little concerned. My daughter is currently in P6 and she has not been getting remedial classes for Maths and Science since P1. I am wondering where were all the help needed to help the weaker students. For 5 years, no remedial classes were provided, even with tuition, she has failed miserably in her Maths for 5 consecutive years.


Maybe we should be informed of the percentage of their P6 students making it to Express Stream instead of just telling us that they performed above the national standard. You will be surprised to know the percentage not qualifying for Express Stream. And if your child falls below the 30% percentile, the chances of doing normal stream is there.

The teachers in my girls’ class will face tremendous pressure as this is the first year they are interacting with the graduating class. They need to know the pupils very quickly. Some of the pupils are still doing their time tables with their fingers and almost 75% of the class will need to attend remedial clases as soon as possible. Can you imagine inheriting a graduating class that doesn’t have a sound foundation? And these are the pupils that are taking 4 standard subjects.

I hope that they will start the remedial classes sooner and hopefully, MTS will have a higher percentage of passes making to the Express Stream next year.

To the teachers that are teaching this class, Jia You, dont give up as I know this is not an easy job. Your dedication and hard work will be appreciated by all the parents in the class.

I hope that we can see a vast improvement in the overall standard in MTS. I just cannot stand complacency. My wife has been in the parents support group for 6 years and is currently doing her 7th year in school. My older daughter has been contributing in Wushu and doing the school proud. My younger daughter has been in PA for many years and they are the ones that get to school very early and stay back late if required. We, the parents and the children are very much integrated to the school and giving our best to the school.

I hope the new Principal will set a higher vision and do all of us PROUD.

Concerned parents need to feedback to teachers / new principal during the meet teacher session, maybe it will help.


Hope everything goes well in MTS.
