Maris Stella High School

Dear Parents,


As a current student of MSHS, I'm here to share about my experience in this school for the past two years. Honestly speaking, I didn't quite exactly enjoy my time in here, probably due to all the discipline cases that my class had to settle since last year till now. Long story short, I really hate going to school now and just want to request for a transfer to another school. Should I or should I not?
I need some advice on this matter. Thanks.

Sorry to hear that you hate going to school now.

Have you spoken to any of your teachers yet or maybe you want to approach your principal or school counsellor who can help you.
What sort of disciplinary cases do your class have? Are they very serious ones?
All the best & God bless.

I was wondering whether bullying and theft cases is the norm in most boy schools.

Can I check with any of you whether I am correct that for sec1, History will start from term 3 and Geograohy syllabus will finish end term 2? Also to ask will there be SA2- year end exam, for Geography? If yes, which will mean DS has to revise Geography again after no more lessons for 3rd to 4th term?

Hi,

History and Geography are taught on a half year basis, ie in Sec 1, Term 1 and Term 2 will be on Geography and Term 3 and Term 4 will be on History. SA1 will only have geography and SA2 only history, which means that the marks your DS gets for geography in this coming SA1 will be final, SA2 will not have geography.

This is what my DS went through 2 years ago, not sure if they have change the rule.

YLH88, thanks for your reply. By the way, DS (sec1) just informed of the SA1 timetable. There is Literature exam. CT1 doesn’t have. Can I know what will be tested? The past class Lit works are based on teacher’s given extract. Will there be a text to be read up in advanced?

Don't remember my DS have any textbook for literature. It is mainly based on the notes the teacher gave them during lesson.

If I am not wrong. Literature marks are calculated based on their projects + tests And as for the PE shirt, the lighter blue one is for lower sec while the upper sec wear the dark blue ones :boogie:

Literature doesn't have textbooks. But we will have a story book or some literary work to read that we would have to buy. I'm I'm not wrong, Sec 1 uses \"To Kill A Mockingbird\"

It used to be Chemistry + Biology for 1st Semester and Physics + Biology for 2nd Semester for Sec 1s. I think they changed it now though, its like all 3 sciences are taught at the same time
