i3mum:
Does anyone know when is the orientation?
It's on the 19 Nov. -
What can we expect during the orientation? Do we buy uniform & books during orientation day?
Thank in advance for answering my questions. -
You would first have to find out which class your daughter has been posted to and then send her to the relevant class. The class teachers will pass you some forms to fill up at the class. You will then leave your daughter in the class to play some ice breakers with the teachers. All parents will then have to go to the auditorium for a briefing by the school principal. Once that is done, you can go and buy books from the bookshop, uniforms from the canteen, make arrangements with the school bus driver at the canteen, and then pick up your daughter from the class / designated place.
To avoid unnecessary crowds, you may want to purchase the books and uniforms ahead of orientation:
The MGS textbooks, workbooks and exercise books can be purchased online from http://www.pacificbookstores.com once the MGS booklist is uploaded on the website. You probably could check with them in Oct / Nov to confirm when the booklist would be available. You could arrange to pick up the books from their office in Ayer Rajah or arrange for home delivery with a fee incurred. One word of caution is that you should thoroughly check that the correct books ordered have been delivered.
You could buy the uniforms from Bibi and Baba at Shaw Centre (next to Isetan Scotts) or Yang Tze Kiang (next to Teck Whye LRT). The uniforms at Bibi Baba are more expensive but of a thicker quality than the YZK which are slightly cheaper. For P1 and P2, your daughter would probably need to wear PE attire 3 times a week and uniform twice a week. The house T-shirt can be ordered through the school in Term 1. P1 and P2 girls can wear their PE attire to school but not from P3 onwards as they would have to wear the pinafore below.
It would be advisable to get an A3 sized basket for your daughter to be placed under the table on the first day of school. This basket is used to keep the books under their desks.
As for CCAs, you could check the MGS website in Nov for the updated list of CCAs and the schedule. The form should be submitted once school re-opens. The CCA buses do not go to all parts of Singapore. It would be best to check with the ops manager. -
Hi mummies, anyone knows when is MGS Open House for the public?

Congrats to Spikey and all parents who got your daughters in MGPS! Just curious, does anyone know the price range for Sherwood or Mayfair? Is MGPS really strict with registration. Heard someone told me they would check your bills etc during registration. Correct me if I’m wrong. My DD gg to P1 in 2014. Am really anxious! We are staying more than 2km! Hubby told me I can just dream on… >8/

hi Angelight,
fyi - MGS does not conduct any open house.
however, during P1 orientation towards year end 2011, you may seize the opportunity to come down take a look at the school, and ask HODs and staff teachers questions regarding any concern that you have.
hi babyronz,
for 2B, MGS does not have parent volunteer scheme. for 2B, parents come in via Methodist church membership.
this year, for both 2B and 2C phase - balloting took place < 1km for MGS. It was highly competitive! For those residing >2km, no chance to ballot at all. Thus, my advice is: better if you shift nearer to <1km, but still no guarantee in the event of balloting. -
