hoylj, thanks for sharing. I was an old girl but many things have changed. Comforting to know that.


Wow, u actually moved house to be near good sch I'm not as 'hardworking' didn't really do much. Would have loved to send my daughter to a sch nearer home but I very much want her to be in a girls sch. And the nearest is St Nichs which is out for me.

MCS seems to be good in rhythmic gym. Is it tough? Am thinking of that as a cca for my daughter in future since she's in ballet and it's something along the same line.

Yes, MCS has secured government funding for their excellence in rhythmic gym which lasts for 3 years. The girls have been winning medals. Of course, St Nicks still holds the championship title for many years. R Gym is very graceful and you r right, it's like ballet. In fact, one of my girlfriends told me that ballet builds up the core and other sports like R Gym adds on to this core.

hoylj, where do you live? You live near MCS?

Nope, unfortunately. But not too far since it's close to major highway. We are at Bt Panjang.

Hoyji, so you were living in Bukit Timah and then moved to Bukit Panjang? What made you choose MCS since it’s not that near? SCGS is my alumni but it’s too far for me, since the school bus picks up at 5am plus in the morning, so I picked MCS since it’s a good all girls school that is only 10 mins away.

Yup, moved to Bt Panjang. Was in Phase 2C Supplement liao and all girls' school places got snapped up. So, only chance is either Bt Timah Primary or Marymount or waitlist in any of the all-girls school. MCS is good especially their speech and drama. They won the annual Public Speaking competition.

Are you an old girl? I wasn't from MCS, but from what I recall, this school has already been seen as pretty good.

Why is the take up rate so low for MCS compared to other schools in same area ?

I registered my gal yesterday and it is so quiet there.
