Hi, does anyone know how to apply to the school’s alumni? I tried calling the school but it has been engaged. For after schoolcare in morning star, how long in advance can I apply? Will there be someone to bring the kids there after school since they have to cross a road?

Hi, may I know what were the considerations when you chose this school over others? I am looking at St. Gabriel’s, Holy Innocent and Maris Stella. I am quite undecided. Each school have their plus points.

Porky and Therine, sorry for the late reply. I’ve invited you into the FB group.

Nic rui,


You’ll need to write to the school to join the alumni, they’ll send you a form to complete. For MS, you’ll need to apply asap as it is very "hot". For P1, it is PM session so you pick your kids after school but the teachers will bring them to school.

For me, my husband was an ex-student and I have a DD & DS so I chose a co-ed school. I was also hoping a co-ed school reduces the chances of bullying but that’s just my personal opinion.

Dear florencetks,


Thank you for your reply.

Actually, I think by the time my DD goes in, it might be an AM session already. I personally prefer an AM session so that is my consideration as well.

I just do not want my DD to be overly stressed with the curriculum and I thought HIPS is in between MS and St Gab. How are your kids coping? Is HC an opt-in thing?

I guess I would drop by HIPS to get the form for the alumni and look around. My husband was an old boy when it was all boys.

Hi Nic Rui,


Yes, AM session is definitely less tiring. My DD is easy, she’s very adaptable and independent, this term she has homework almost everyday! I figured these homeworks are usually what they cannot complete in class, they won’t have homework if they can complete their work in class.

DD is a potato kid and does not speak Mandarin. Surprisingly, HC is her best subject at times (well, they haven’t started on essay writing which is probably why)!! But I heard HC in P3 is a totally different thing and more difficult. HIPS and Maris Stella are SAP schools, they start HC from P1 and Teacher will recommend by P4 if they do HC or normal Chinese depending on how well they perform for the subject.

My husband was also an old boy from the all boys era!
