From what I understand, it is still available. One of my son's classmates goes there. His parents pick him up at 7pm. They will supervise his school work so u can probably save on tuition fees. You can log onto their website to check.


If you are unsuccessful in our application at phase 2B/C, put him on waitlist. But you must be prepared to buy new uniforms and books if he gets in after school term has begun.

I have read somewhere in the forum that MSHS has a student care service (after school) managed by Alumni. Is the service still available now? What is their operation hours and charges like?

By the way, MSHS does not "sort" classes till P5. A student will be in the same class for P1 and P2. The school will mix them up randomly in P3. They will remain in the same class for P3 and P4. Also, badminton is the most popular sport in school and they have a very strong badminton school team.

Tried checking both the school's and the alumni's website but no there seems to be no info on it.


Yes, will certainly put my boy in the wait list if unsuccessful in Phase 2C and will be more than happy to buy him new uniform and books if he managed to get a place after term starts.

Hi, my sons are also successful in securing a place next yr. They are rather weak in Chinese. Initially, i was thinking of enrolling in either SJI or MSHS. Decided on MSHS as i wanted them to be able to converse more in their mother tongue language. Any parents with ideas how the kids are coping in school with Chinese?


School’s asking if i wanted to place my twin boys in same/different class next year. Any comments from parents with twins as well?

Oh… based on my understanding, if you place the kids on waitlist, if successful, it will be meant for 2011. Meaning, the boy will be in P2 upon enrollment. However, I believe it’s worth the wait, given the reputation of the school…

Hi smurf,

Our initial choice was actually SJIJ cos' it is the nearest Catholic school to my place. However, after analysis of past balloting results for SJIJ and also based on the positive feedback received on MSH, we decided on MSH. It was a close shave as Phase 2B nearly went into balloting this year.
