I heard that Bro Anthony might retire these few years. He is an excellent principal who cares deeply for the kids.

Seems to be true. The boys have been asked to make farewell cards for him.

My son was also told that he will retire end of this year.

As I have mentioned in my previous posting, about 22% - 25% of MSHS students got into GEP second round every year. About 8 -15 students will get into GEP but not everyone will take up offer.

I am sure all of us will miss Bro Anthony. He is a really wonderful principal.

Hi all,


I am glad to see this thread. I would like to ask opinions of the MHS parents here what would you do if you have the option to either enrol in MHS or Rosyth? Which would you choose?

We are undecided as MHS is nearer to our place but we are very very weak in Chinese, ie i do not know Chinese and my dh barely know. We are afraid that ds will struggle in MHS and detest Chinese and do badly in school. Also, MHS seem like a very strict school, which can be good or bad, depending on your child and the learning. So far, he seem like he is okay with authority and is afraid of teachers in school.

I for one is not very open to change and would like to stay put in where we are rather than move nearer to Rosyth! But dh think Rosyth may be better for ds given the weak chinese language.

Any thots or advice ?

MTIA,
Jen

Hi, I understand that the Orientation is on 7/11 (Sat). I've not received the letter too but I can see that they are a pretty organised lot & have no worries about that. Happy holidays to Cutiepie mum. Can't wait for our hols in end Nov but must go thr' the exam period first. Dd's exams are next week.

Tiredmama, hang in there. The exam period is always very challenging on the relationships with our kids. If it gets too trying, let go a little. Reward her little bit here & there for putting in the efforts. My dd is having her exams next week too. Poor gal, heartpain to see her studying so hard. Hope her result justifies her good attitude & hard work.
