Marymount Convent

Yep michyms. Would have been much easier if the secondary still exists. Guess, the girls will have to work hard for the secondary sch. Anyway, 1 of my friend told me, no diff cos for all u know, she might not want a diff secondary sch next time


MCS is a govt aided sch and if not wrong they don't get all the funding from the govt, only a certain %. Govt will cover the basic and for extras like gym etc, will need to fork out $.

gorilla, the girls will have to decide which secondary school they want and work for it Having an affiliated school is not always the best thing. If they need to count on the affiliation to enter a certain good secondary school, then its also means they will be competing with very smart ones who get in on their own merit.

HI cantbearit2 , sorry for my late reply and thanks for the feedback. Sounds this is a good school. I’m looking for a school not only focus on academic but value charater and moral building as well. My DD was with Marymount Kindergarten before and the loving/ caring/ supprting environment is quite impressive. is this same as in MCS?

Hello to all the new mummies joining MCS,



In general, my P1 gal enjoyed the school curriculum very much but hopes to see improvement in toilet and canteen cleanliness. The school will go single session in 2012. There are regular tests/ exams for every term and semesters. There is also voluntary CCA for P1 in which ur gals can join dance club, speech and drama, gym and etc , once a week before school starts. Hope this brief summary helps

Hi LLX04,
thot P said MCS is slated for upgrading in 2012 by MOE but not confirm yet? :scratchhead:

Hi can'tbearit,
I've heard some news going around that next year, MCS will go single session then after that will move to toa payoh while the school being upgraded...i hope they will confirm soon :xedfingers:

I also heard from a friend that MCS is moving to TP. But then someone else said that its the kindy that’s moving? Very confusing.

[LLX04]

yup, single session in 2012 is still in rumour stage. hopefully something can be confirmed soon.

Hello mummies


Wondering if there are any mummies who have registered her daughter for P1 next yr?

My daughter will be going to MCS.

Cheers!

Hi, waiting to register my DD2 for Phase 2C :). When will we know if Marymount will move to single session? I did not see the school listed in the MOE website as being slated for single session for 2012? Was hoping not to drag my DD2 out of bed so early in the morning!

Transition of Primary Schools to Single Session

In April 2009, the Ministry of Education (MOE) accepted the recommendations of the Primary Education Review and Implementation (PERI) Committee to enhance the quality of primary education.

As part of PERI’s recommendations, MOE will move all primary schools to a single-session model progressively over the next few years so as to provide teachers with additional time and space to deliver a more holistic education as well as to allow pupils to benefit from a wider range of academic and non-academic activities.

MOE targets to facilitate the transition of all government primary schools to single-session by 2016. Government-aided schools will be given more flexibility in their transition timeline as they have to take into account stakeholders’ concerns.

The information below reflects the operation mode of all the primary schools in Singapore in Academic Year 2011, as at June 2011. The list of primary schools already operating at single-session in Academic Year (AY) 2011 is in List 1 below.

For the primary schools that have been planned to transit to single-session in AY 2012, please see List 4.
