      Not all teachers give their Hp numbers. The most common form of communication is via email.

      You can have a look at this website (about holistic assessment) before the 'Morning with Teachers' session (14 Jan 2012). It is important for you to attend the session so as it will help you to understand the MBS curriculum. It can be different from other primary schools as each schools do their assessment differently.

      hth 😄
      email address is good enough...thks for the info, it really helps!

        For school bus, I feel that the bus attendant is not strict in enforcing the seat belt rule. I share your concern about the safety issue as my DS1 was injured by another boy in the school bus and we had to send DS1 to the hospital for stitching up the wound. All these happened because the children were not using the seat belt. Perhaps we could raise this issue to the school principal who may help to follow up w the bus company.

        For payment of bus fare, the bus attendant or uncle will issue a card in a plastic holder. We will put the bus fare in the holder and return to them. The next mth u get back the card, u shd see that the previous mth has been signed off to signify that you have paid.
        goodness! stitching up, it's really serious leh...at first i've doubt over what my gal told me.. i don't know whether she's cooking up stories due to laziness...i think i will have a good talk with the attendant first, afterall, my daughter's safety is at risk...i'm not sure whether the principal have control over the bus company?..

        thks for the info about how the collection system works...in any case, i still find weakness in terms of control..imagine u can only see the acknowledgement previous month payment when receive the card to collect for the following month...a bit too late right...plus if they bite tongue say didn't receive we also cannot do anything about it right...but of course this could be a long established system used by vendors and i guess mutual trust have to exist...just cross fingers that no disputes..if i can, i really prefer to ownself sent my gal to school, too bad no choice...

            Oh dear! Is the wound big? Please bring this up. Maybe can approach the level manager. If not brought up, the school will never be able to help.[/quote]

            2 stitches on the head. The worst thing is that school bus did not send DS1 home immediately. Still toook the usual route. Only called to inform DS was injured by another boy but did not say how serious, just said already stop the bleeding. That night I managed to get hold of the level Manager’s no from other parents and immediately called her. Also emailed to the principal.

              I guess it is based on mutual trust. Even the sch bus that fetches my DD from her child care practice such payment system. For DS1, it's been quite ok for the last 2 years. No dispute and we know the bus attendant well. But I may be pulling DS1 out from sch bus as it is way too early. 1st day bus came at slightly over 6am. Yest n today came even before 6am and DS said they reach sch even before 6.50am. DH has decided that he shall fetch DS1 to sch. But DS2, being in the afternoon session, will continue to take sch bus. Last night DS2 said bs uncle said no need to put seat belt. See, even long distance (cos mine last to alight) also no need to use seat belt.

                When I drop off my dd at 7am, there were many students sitting at the courtyard. The school buses have left. If I am not mistaken, they need to ferry other people (ie workers) too.

                  Does anyone notice that the website on Maha Bodhi is not updated frequently? In fact, there are no updates of any 2012 events at all.

                    Yes I realised too, also, i realised that you will get contact no only from younger F/T but not the older teacher, especially the retired teacher n coming back to teach. They seldom give much feeback on the child, this is what i experience from the previous year.

                    Anyone can share which is the best chinese class for the chinese lesson for Pr 3?

                      The MBS website, despite being revamped, is not updated regularly. Some parents have given feedback but nothing much has been done so far.


                      The best chinese class could be CL4 as the student who got best in P2 Chinese last year is in that class…my guess only lah.
