can'tbearit, I hope it won't be too dusty! My dd used to have sensitive lungs when she was younger, its better now, but I certainly hope she won't be breathing in loads of dust daily :scared:

Guess all of us parents juz need 2b vigilant & monitor e situation. Only wen e work begins, we will noe. But i guess some dust can't b avoided. :roll:

Hello Mummy meow & gorilla & michyms , glad to meet all of you here..


Hi michyms , I actually eyeing for Catholic high (because it's within 1km) but i was told it's very hard to get in and they don't really need PV...anyone knows about this?

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 michyms, thanks for the info. My DS is born in 2008 so will be reg'd in 2014 for yr 2015. It's too early to ask for PV now right? I'm sure there'll be some changes in these few years...but have a feeling that it'll be more competiti :mad: ve than now. I should look for backup plan but too bad my area only have 2 schools that's within 1 km, Ai Tong and Catholic High, both are \"hot\".

Hi tinkerbelle,

So glad to see u back. Was wondering where is our marymount guru gone to...

Yeah, it's a relief to know we don't have to move.

LLX04,
in fact i was wondering whr did all our chatty mummies went to??? :scratchhead: autumn82, acbj, LVKT, funkymonkey etc....???

I thought I was the only one who's MIA!! Maybe everyone's nicely settled in now & getting busier. Sure miss those times. :grphug:

cantbearit2, thanks for the info on the student care. It’s an option for me. My daughter will also probably end up watching tv back at my aunt’s place. Will see how it goes.

Hi cantbearit2,

:hugs: Long time no chat. I've been super busy so haven't been to KSP for months. How have you been? I'm sure your DD has assimilated well in MCS.

Ya, great to receive confirmation on the sch's plans for PRIME. I'm glad we don't need to move to another sch. Hopefully, it won't be too dusty and noisy for our gals. :evil:

I've been kept bz too. My DS3 juz went thru a surgery (a congenital skin disorder) & now it's my mom's turn ('trigger finger' aka old folks prob ). DS3 has since recovered. Mum will b removing her bandage tml so on e way to recovery.
DD1 has settle dn well. Still forgetful but much better now. At least she doesn't lose her water bottle every other wk.
She's oso enjoying her 'shopping' during recess time. Buying all sorts of stuff fr e bookshop. Sometimes she eats, sometimes she 'shops'. :rotflmao:
DD1 has sinus prob. I oso hope it won't b 2 dusty otherwise she may appear 2 have runny nose everyday.
How's yur 2 lovely gals doing? Have ey been keepg mummy bz??? :evil:

Hi cantbearit2,

Glad to hear that DS3 has recovered from his surgery. Hope it was not too traumatic for him. What a brave boy!!

How's your mum after she removed her bandage today? Hope her wound has healed nicely and she can get back into the swing of things soon.

Nice to hear your DD1 has settled nicely in MCS. Not losing her water bottle every other week.... :rotflmao:

My DDs are fine. DD1 is super busy preparing for her prelims & PSLE. She's cool about it all. It's mummy who's more kancheong

DD2 is still the same happy-go-lucky gal. Like your DD1, she still enjoys buying stuff back from the bookshop. She just bought the fund-raising Marymount T-shirt last week and wore it to sch today. She's very petite so the XS shirt still looks big on her. Looks like we both got DDs who are 'Shopping-Queens-in-the-making'. :faint:

You can either buy your own white socks or socks with the sch logo.

If buying your own white socks, ensure they are not ankle socks. Must be 5cm above ankles.

Socks with sch logo can only be bought at the uniform shop at Toa Payoh when you buy ur sch uniform later. These socks are thicker and longer than the usual ones. Both my DDs don't wear MCS socks as they find them too warm.

If its not compulsory to wear school socks, think I'd rather wear my own that is thinner...

Ya, it's not compulsory to wear sch socks but the sch is strict about the length of the socks. All Student Helpers (P2 prefects) are trained to look out for socks below 5cm and book those gals who violate the sch rule. :siam:

Hi miffymiffy,

Is your DD in P1? I understand what you mean......kids in lower pri tend to follow sch rules obediently as they do not want to receive any warning letters.

DD2 ever received a warning letter for not cutting her nails. Now, she'll always remind me to cut her nails. :nailbite:

It's great that your DD is kia si.....better safe than sorry....
