It is indeed heartwarming to hear such positive feedback of Bro Anthony. I am beginning to feel that my son is in good hands under his leadership :lol: !

> hmm....i heard differing views about Principal Anthony, heard that sch's standards dropped after he took over???


He is a more open minded principal than all the previous principals. He wants students to be more involved in CCA, not just study. He gave students more freedom to develope. MSHS still achieves 100% passing rate every year, not too many schools in Singapore can say that. Even the top schools (include GEP schools) always have 1 or 2 students failed PSLE. Yes, MSHS seldom produces the very top students ( PSLE score > 280 ) anymore. Their top student's score is about 275 - 278 every year. Reason? Almost all their very top students transferred out to GEP schools after P3. MSHS produces more GEP students than some of those 8 GEP (I exclude NYPS) schools. Too bad that MSHS is not a GEP school. I wish somedays they will. :celebrate:

Hi,


1. My DS k2 graduation & year-end concert may also be on 7 Nov 2009 (orientation day for MSH 2010 intake). Aiyah, very dilemma....both are equally important to us. Graduation ceremony marks an important milestone for his preschool years. Orientation marks the starting of an important chapter of his life. Dunno which one to go....which one would you go?

2. Besides settling the \"logistics\" (i.e. book list, uniform, recess catering), will we be
(a) meeting the form teacher and other teachers?
(b) seeing the classroom that DS will be using?
(c)visiting the other parts of the school (e.g. facilities such as library, music room, etc.)?

3. What happens if we missed orientation? i.e. how would we be notified of the \"logistics\" matters as mentioned in 2?

Thanks.

> (a) meeting the form teacher and other teachers?


No, I don’t think so.

> (b) seeing the classroom that DS will be using?

All the classrooms are about the same. If you have seen 1, you have seen them all. All the primary 1 classrooms are located at first floor.

> visiting the other parts of the school (e.g. facilities such as library, music room, etc.)?

Yes.

> 3. What happens if we missed orientation? i.e. how would we be notified of the "logistics" matters as mentioned in 2?

The best is to contact the admin office and let them know in advance so that they can help you.

Hi, wanted to get my son in maris stella but unsuccessful. If on waiting list, what are the chances like ? if we enrol under PSG, will the chances be higher ? your advise pls.....sad sad mum

[doraemon]

staridea, sorry to hear that your son can’t get in maris stella pri. why not call the sch for advice? how was the balloting like this year? my brother’s son also had to ballot for a place in Yew Tee Pri, it was 145 places vying for 118 places. his son was the last 9 children to be balloted, he said it was stressful for them.

[Merlion]

staridea, you can always transfer your kid after P1. The waiting list should be quite long this year. PSG - Parents Support Group? I thought the kid need to be a student there before the parents can join the PSG?

Good luck.

PSG and doing PV is different?

[Merlion]

I think PV is just a part of PSG. If your kid is on waiting list now, it might be too late to do PV. Usually PV is performed 1 or 2 years before your kid registers for P1.
