[quote=\"gorilla\"]michyms, I supposed it has to be plain black. That was what I used to wear. Also remembered wearing black track shoes, and even pumps (shiny/matt). Anything goes, as long as it's black.


Not certain what now... Guess we'll find out more on 19 Nov

Hi,
Any black shoes will do. Just make sure they're comfortable as the gals will wear them for PE as well. For P1s, it's advisable to buy velcro shoes if the gals do not know how to ties their own laces yet. The gals will be expected to remove/wear their shoes for PE for some activities.

Thanks for the tip, tinkerbelle, any idea where to get velcro shoes, besides Bata?[/quote]Hi michyms,
There are a few shoe shops in Toa Payoh Central that sells black velcro shoes. You'll usually find them with the white sch shoes. Cost about $12-$14 depending on brand. Though they're slightly heavier than the ones in Bata.

Royal Sporting House also sells black Reebok velcro shoes but they are more expensive there. Last year, closer to sch re-opening, they had some sale and DD1 got a pair for about $30.

Remember to label your DD's shoes. Once all 30 gals remove their shoes, they can't identify their black shoes anymore

Hi parents,


great 2c tis thread being kept alive by next batch (2012) of P1 parents.

FYI, we have juz rec'd a letter to inform us of the sch upgrading. It's no rumour now. MCS is due for upgrading from Nov 2012 to Dec 2014. :rahrah: No holding sch is required as MCS is expanding e plot of land which is currently in use by the student care ctr. E student care ctr will thus shift to e sch premises (even nearer than now, :evil: )

MCS will allocate a proper place for e student care ctr aft e upgrading.

Juz thot all new parents might b interested to noe.

thanks cantbearit for the confirmed news. Hopefully MCS do up their canteen n toilets! v impt they v hygiene place to eat n go to the loo.

Niccc, one of my dd's classmate's father did PV at cat high and balloted within 1km to get him in. So they do accept pv. But competition is intense and balloting within 1km at phase 2b and 2c is guaranteed. Last year, there were 60 people balloting for 9 seats at phase 2b. This year is better as the number of available seats went up to 20plus. So even if u do pv it's not guaranteed, so must think of a back up plan.

I had another friend who went for the cat high PV talk and she told me that
a the school encourages parents to do projects for the school for pv such as repairing parts of the school etc, and according to her this means having to
spend money! So really depends on whether you're willing to do so. Think
you should call the school up and go for the pv talk to find out more.

How old is our ds now? When is going into p1?

Hi micyyms,

My daughter told me they have to wear socks with their sch logo. Sometimes,spotchecks will be conducted and my daughter told me one of her classmates was reminded to put on MCS socks. However, I do see a few handful of students wearing normal wear sock when I go fetch her.
My daughter will insist wearing ONLY MCS socks as she is very afraid of getting \"yellow letter\" from the teacher.( is like a \"warning letter\" and my daughter kana once before for her slightly long fringe.)
