Maris Stella High

SPIES:

Anyone knows what to bring on day 1 for Pri 3? Don't want son to be lugging all books to school and back.

In my opinion only needs to bring the following and maybe a notebook to note down the items teacher instructed them to bring or do.
(1) Healthbook
(2) Report book
(3) Thermometer

However, every year ds stubbornly insists he bring all his workbooks & folders to school on the first day. He somehow feels more secured that way and I will let him be. And depending on the teachers, some do start collecting workbooks and folders from the students who have them on day 1 while they are instructed to bring these items the next day.

Hi Mummies,


I'm thinking to put my son in Maris Stella, would appreciate yr reviews, thanks!

* SAP school - has a rich Chinese environment.
They start taking Higher Chinese in P1. By P5, they will get to choose whether to take Higher Chinese as a separate subject. In 2012, almost 1 out of every 2 boys get to do Higher Chinese in P5. I didn't see this in another SAP school which my niece was attending in Hougang.

* Boys only school- Tends to be rowdier.
Teacher tends to be stricter.

* CCA - quite a good choice of CCAs catered for boys.

* Secondary School affiliation - Able to share resources especially their CCA facility. Got affiliation points - important in times when one needs most to get in to a relatively good secondary school.

* Single Session school - Fixed schedule from P1 to P6 - work out very well for me.

* Good accessibility - MRT station right in front of the school.

My son (P3) came back and said he has remedial lessons every Mon and Tues. Does it happen to every P3 students or are the lessons for the weak ones?

Remedial lessons are for the weaker kids. These extra lessons are mean to help them to do better in the subject.
