Hi all mummies,


My girl has spent 4 days last week in MCS and she is now transferred to Pei Chun wef today.

I am very thankful and appreciative of all the kind help, info and encouragement I have received from the mummies at MCS. It has been a wonderful experience dealing with you all!!

I want to share my limited and short-lived experience in MCS. I would like to thank the P5 buddy who was attached to help my girl during the 3 days. Her name is Sheryl and she’s so sweet, mature, helpful and patient with my girl, who was such a crying baby. Generally I feel that the P5 girls had done a fantastic job in helping the younger ones coping with the new environment…

Bus operator Mrs Chua was kind enough to waive the transport charges for last week when I called to notify her this morning of my girl’s transfer. I thank her for that.

The general office staffs are also very helpful and nice…

I wish all the girls have a great and enjoyful 6 years at MCS!!

Stroke??? :rotflmao: :rotflmao: Guess what, it can oso have the same effect on Chinese mama. I have given back a lot to my teacher since I left sch. I think besides watching Chinese shows and speaking to my frenz, it is pretty much under utilise lor. We can only count on the enrichment class she's attending.

Haha...I second that...I've also return a lot of my Chinese to my teachers...now my P6 DD can correct me.....Put me to shame hor....

cantbearit2:

Funny thing is, she came back fr MCS and speaks to me in Mandarin (the sentence was constructed as per English rules, haha...) during dinner. It actually gif me the goosebumps when she calls me \"mama\" in Mandarin. haha....guess IM not use to it.

Sounds like my DD2. When she speaks Chinese, it's obvious it's a direct translation from English....Hiaz... :slapshead:

Hi Tinkerbelle,


Looks like I have chosen the correct sch for my DD. Character moulding at a young age is far better than any stellar academic results during PSLE.
Thks for sharing wif us, Tinkerbelle! :thankyou: :thankyou: :thankyou:

Hi cantbearit2,
I couldn't have phrase it any better.....No use if results are fantastic but character leaves much to be desired. Of course, if the child can have stellar results plus a great character, that will be a BIG bonus... :imcool:

Hee.... tat's Y we wanted to put her in a v \"china\" sch in the beginning to let her immerse in a chinese culture. But in S'pore context, all the \"china\" sch diff to get in. Nan Chiau, Pei Chun, Ai Tong, Tao Nan etc. Later on, we oso worried if \"china\" sch, it might demoralise her cos' her mandarin not \"powderful\" lor. Hee.... :lol:

Luckily we shift our focus to holistic environment whr character building is strong and preferably wif strong emphasis on CCA. Hee....tats y MCS is the obvious choice.

Hello P1 Parents,


FYI. This is the reply we got from DD’s FT (P1 Perseverance):
1) Spelling test will start in week 3 Thur, 20th Jan.
2) Mental sum is done during Math lessons, twice a week. There is no fixed day for this.
3) Remedial lesson will probably commence in Term 2.
4) I try my best to arrange their seating according to height.
5) The index number has nothing to do with seating arrangment, at the moment, Index number is still not fixed as we still have new girls coming in. Index number will only be confirmed in Feb.
