Maris Stella High School

S-H:

After what Blitz had done and the last PTM, Mrs Jaya (the Eng teacher) is not doing anything at all and the school just responded as above and full-stop, that's it. Mrs Jaya has become worse by refusing to teach and making the boys doing their own things during lessons. DS said she keeps telling them that : \" Don't complain that I never teach\". So what's the use of PTM, what's the use of writing to the HOD? I wonder if this still continue till SA2, what will happen to the boys streaming at the end of the year? :xedfingers:

After that incident when I emailed the school and MOE, ds said she told the class she will teach - those who dont want to pay attention to keep quiet and dont disturb the rest of the class. So Mrs Jaya has been going through Animal Farm and poetry teaching.

[quote=\"S-H\"]Parents of Sec 2,


Anybody knows about the details on the adventurous camp next week?

Just that it's 24-26 May. I wonder if it's to be in school? Hope not or it feels so confined.

Heard that it is in Pulau Ubin but more details are not known yet. Quite worry bcos my DS is not those out-going type. Oh yes, today DS got his English SA1 result, not good. Heard that the whole class is not doing very well for the English paper, wonder is it the marking too strict? The English teacher again....[/quote]Have just Pm-ed you.

I think camp is going to be in school. Check out the Post Exam activities in the Admin Breeze.

Did you ask your boys what the teacher told them about the camp? According to my ds, he was told the boys can choose where to sleep, what to do , where to eat etc for camp. I was flabbergasted. Surely that can’t be right? I called the school this morning, and the admin lady told me she’d get the teacher in charge to return my call. It’s already 4.30pm, and I havent received any call yet.


The theme of the camp is Nomad, and among the packing list is EZ link card. I think the boys have to travel around Sg to find things or something like that.

I called the school again coz no teacher called me back reg the camp. Today I found out - the boys will NOT BE STAYING in school for camp. There are apparently 3 places the boys are split into - East Coast, West Coast and Sembawang.


I find the school very irresponsible in the fact that they didnt state it on the notice about the camp. Shouldn’t we parents be informed of where the boys will be camping, instead of blatantly lying that the camp is held in school?

Updated, the boys will be in East Coast and West Coast. No sembawang coz according to Mr Chong from PE dept, there is some renovation gg on there.

Thanks for the updates, Blitz!

It was initially rather unsettling not knowing what to expect. School probably didn't want to leak out too much info or it will spoil the fun for the boys. DS said last night they were told they'll be sleeping elsewhere.

While chatting on the way to school this morning, we decided this can be a refreshing experience He packed all his stuff in 1 bag last night so that it's convenient for him to travel around the island these 2 days.

The 3 places you mentioned all have campsites. Perhaps the base is in school, then they move out for their activities. Like Amazing Race.. Sounds fun :imcool:
