Maris Stella High School

[JonC]

Everyday I see long Q outside the school gate along Bartley Road, I assume they cannot go in.

Hi,


My boy will be joining Maris Stella high next year and I have 2 questions regarding MacBook

1. May I know if the differences between MacBook and MacBook Pro very big? If I get the cheaper version for my boy, will the speed affect his work in school?

2. Is the insurance necessary? Not sure if most of the student bot the insurance or do you think it is not necessary?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks! Looks like it will be a problem picking him up after school especially they can't bring hp to school ...

I choose MacBook Pro because it is slightly lighter. Considering they have to bring it everyday, I thought slightly ligher is also better. In term of speed, don't think there is not much difference.

Hi blitz,


Thank you!

Another question : If I need to pick up my ds after school, can I drive in to the school and wait at the carpark there or do I have to wait at the main gate (Mt Vernon Road) there ? do they close their main gate ?

You're welcome. Just trying to help out coz last yr I was also at a lost when ds just entered the school.

You will not be alllowed to park in the school compounds to wait for your son, so you have to wait by the road side.

Hi blitz,

How about in the morning, can we drop them off in the school compound or at the main gate ? I saw in the registration pack indicating that no entry into the school compound from 6.45am to 8am.

[/quote]You can drop your son off before 6.45am, but most will drop the boys off at the back gate (near the bus stop) so the boys can walk in to school themselves.

DS just found out there’s Chinese and Math homework posted in the Studywiz for 1C and a couple other classes. The chinese is a toughie. The 1st part needs to watch a video and write a 350 word review. Thankfully the video link is broken so DS said no need to do this part for now. But the second one is just as demanding. This assignment is due on 12 Jan and will form part of the CA marks too.

Teachers do not inform them before hand ?

Went to get a phone card for my ds and realised there are singtel and starhub cards, which one should I get for my ds to use in school ? Sorry long time didn't buy phone card, so abit lost in this issue.

Thank you.
