Hi all, i am planning to bring my gal for a short holiday on 8 Aug…I am worried my gal will miss out teaching if she’s absent on 8 Aug…


Will there be any lesson conducted on 8 Aug or just celebration?

TIA

usually only celebration. all students will report to school in the morning and be dismissed early after celebration. do refer to the term 3 calendar. you may wish to call the school to confirm to play safe.

Hi, I am thinking of sending my boy (born in Yr 08) to MBS. However MBS do not accept parent volunteer and we parents are not former students of the school. But we do stay within 1km of MBS.


Any idea of my boy’s chances to get into the school?

[7788]

within 1km definitely get a chance to ballot when demand>supply. if you are lucky, may even escape balloting even when demand>supply if supply is sufficient to cater to all within 1km (ie. balloting only for those between 1km & 2km). good luck to you!

Based on historical records from 2006 till 2011 (available in this website), there are balloting for those staying within 1km. 2007 was the only year where they had balloting for those 1-2km.

So this is highly risky unless you don't have other better choices and want to take a risk. MBS does not accept PV and I strongly believe this is the right thing to do unlike some schools where demand is strong and they still accept PV thereby disappointing parents..... I think that is so irresponsible as it's like giving false hopes and also \"making use\" of PV resources.

The only way to get priority is probably through grassroot or member of SBF. SBF seems to be a grey area. For grassroot, there are criterias to be met as well especially in terms time frame.

Don't think so as I don't recall my P1 relating to me the :nailbite: experience.

Thanks MMM.


Am afraid son misses it. If they r taking jab in school with peers, think they wont cry. But infront of us, they might. LOL

Not too sure about that As my older kids witnessed some of their peers crying. They also said that they saw P6s (including boys) crying after their jab.....

BTW, have your son transferred?

[kamsy]

Yes MMM.


Last week he cried in his class on his first day. Then 2nd day refused to go school. Then down with MC for 2 days… Friday went back to school & everything back to normal. LOL. Just that he’s quite boring in the morning as he wake up as early as us.
