serpent2105, white socks

Do u know if we can use our own white socks, or must it be purchased from the school with school logo?

You can either buy your own white socks or socks with the sch logo.

If buying your own white socks, ensure they are not ankle socks. Must be 5cm above ankles.

Socks with sch logo can only be bought at the uniform shop at Toa Payoh when you buy ur sch uniform later. These socks are thicker and longer than the usual ones. Both my DDs don't wear MCS socks as they find them too warm.

A warm :welcome: to all the new parents joining MCS next year.

Hi Tinkerbelle

Thanks. A welcome much appreciated. Kinda gladly assured that current MCS parents are forthcoming and giving advice to us newbies on what to expect.

cantbearit2, thanks for the update. Phew, no need to move.


Would like to find out more about the student care. Is there a website? Did u send your daughter from P1?

yes, u can chk out e link below.

DH & I find tat a student care nex 2 e sch seems 2b e most feasible. Irregardless of any b4 sch activity, she juz needs 2 walk 2 & fro. Even wen she's in morn session in future, she juz needs 2 walk back 2 e student care ctr aft her aftn CCA or remedial/enrichment lessons.

She's been there for 7 mths (since beginning of P1). E place is a bit run down but it will b resolved once e upgrading begins. :boogie:

Teachers have been helpful so far. As for supervision of homework, we can't expect much as she's in e aftn session. We will always ensure she finishes her homework in e evening wen she's back fr sch. So nex morn wen she's in e student care, e teachers will mainly guide her to do add'l assessm bks (which is left there; no need to bring home).

Our concern is more on setting a routine for her so tat she doesn't laze ard either b4 or aft sch (depends on morn or aftn session). At home, granny will surely let her watch TV whole day long. :idea: So we figure out it's better for her to go to a student care ctr.

Hi cantbearit2,

:hugs: Long time no chat. I've been super busy so haven't been to KSP for months. How have you been? I'm sure your DD has assimilated well in MCS.

Ya, great to receive confirmation on the sch's plans for PRIME. I'm glad we don't need to move to another sch. Hopefully, it won't be too dusty and noisy for our gals. :evil:

I've been kept bz too. My DS3 juz went thru a surgery (a congenital skin disorder) & now it's my mom's turn ('trigger finger' aka old folks prob ). DS3 has since recovered. Mum will b removing her bandage tml so on e way to recovery.
DD1 has settle dn well. Still forgetful but much better now. At least she doesn't lose her water bottle every other wk.
She's oso enjoying her 'shopping' during recess time. Buying all sorts of stuff fr e bookshop. Sometimes she eats, sometimes she 'shops'. :rotflmao:
DD1 has sinus prob. I oso hope it won't b 2 dusty otherwise she may appear 2 have runny nose everyday.
How's yur 2 lovely gals doing? Have ey been keepg mummy bz??? :evil:

Tinkerbelle:

Ya, told DD2 last night about the sch upgrade and first thing she asked was if the sch will be ready before she leaves the sch. Haha...she wants to enjoy the new facilities...

Yur DD2 still get to enjoy 1 yr of e new facilities. My DD2 gets to enjoy 2 yrs & for e new parents of 2012, 3 yrs. :rahrah:

michyms:

Thanks so much for sharing the info with us, Can'tbearit. Good to hear that the school will be undergoing upgrading soon :rahrah: Is your dd in the student care? I wonder if this upgrading will also take place the same time as the NS Highway construction?

Yes, my DD is in the student care. & yes, ard e same time wif the NS highway construction. But understands tat it's underground so shld not b tat noisy. Not sure abt e dust though. :skeptical:
