Gin:

I have applied for exemption from Mother Tongue for DD2. I wonder when I will get confirmation for that. I will try to make primary school years as enjoyable as I can for her. She can take her 2nd language in Secondary School, as far as I am concern. I will take whatever steps necessary to make sure that my girl has a life! Crazy system here in Singapore. Not in favour of 'high pressure' cooker style of living here.

Hi Gin,
All the best with your application for exemption from MT for your DD2.

Gin:

DD2 had her tonsils removed yesterday pm. So, giving her extra, extra TLC :).

Hope your DD2 is feeling better now after her tonsillectomy. Heard lots of ice-cream is good after removing your tonsils. :politebleah:

We received the confirmation letter yday from MCS. Shall we arrange to meet at Orientation? We should have KSP T-shirts :imcool:

Hi all 2012 P1 parents,

Funny you should mention getting KSP T-shirts....actually MCS is raising funds for the sch's upgrading. The sch is selling Marymount T-shirts that comes in various sizes XS-2XL at the sch foyer currently. If you're interested, maybe can drop by MCS and get a T-shirt and support the sch in their efforts to raise more funds for better facilities for our gals. Cost is $8 for XS and $10 for S-2XL and the gals can wear these shirts for PE lessons. There are sizes to fit Mummies & Daddies too.

[quote=\"LLX04\"]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.

Hi LLX04,

:snuggles: Glad to see another familiar 'face'. How have you and your DD been?

:oops: Haha....no guru la. Now you guys are the gurus. Good to see that you guys are sharing with the new parents.

Ya, told DD2 last night about the sch upgrade and first thing she asked was if the sch will be ready before she leaves the sch. Haha...she wants to enjoy the new facilities...

Hehe, sorry for the late replied. We are doing well except this week seemed like a holiday week to my DD. Now its a pain to drag her back to 'school mood' while preparing her mock chinese test.[/quote]Hi LLX04,
Know what you mean. Wow....4 days off for your DD during the PSLE Oral days..shiok!! Then must tune back to 'sch mood' for CA2 exams after that. :rahrah:

Anyone know if there will be a test for the kids during Orientation? I wasn't even thinking of bringing dd

Don't know about the test, but I heard from others that during orientation, the kid will meet her classmates and teacher, if I'm not wrong?

Tinkerbelle, LLX, Can'tbearit, Miffy, can tell us what to expect during MCS orientation?

There will not be a test during Orientation Day for P1.

Basically, when you report to sch for orientation, drop your gals off at the foyer according to their allocated class. There'll be prefects and teachers to assist you and all classes are clearly labelled on placards.

The prefects will take care of the gals and direct them to their respective classes to meet their form teachers and classmates. There'll be a walk-about the sch and the prefects will show them where the toilets, canteen etc are. Subsequently, the gals will watch some performances by various CCA groups in the hall.

After dropping your gals off at the foyer, parents will head to the hall for the Principals's talk about the sch's programmes and watch some performances by various CCA groups. Following that, parents will be directed to their DDs' classrooms to fill in dental forms, catechism forms, Giro forms etc. Once all the paper work is done, parents will then proceed to the hall to pick their daughters up.

Hope this gives you an idea of what to expect that day. Have fun meeting other parents.

[quote=\"michyms\"]LLX, yeah, I agree it is wonderful to have 2 girls. Though my 2 girls like to bicker at times but after that they will still be good friends :snuggles: Your 2 dds can even share textbooks!

Oh, it slipped my mind on the textbooks. Haha, thanks for reminding me I can save some bucks this year. I remembered spending $400++ on getting my dd1 school stuffs!

$400! :yikes: what exactly do we need to buy?[/quote]Hmm, everything from a to z?
120+++ plus for uniforms, socks.
120+++ plus for school books, files etc
50 plus for 2 sets of shoes
100 for school bag, pencil case, stationaries, lunch bag, etc...
Actually I already scrimp on necessaries only bet some parents could have spent more..

Hi LLX04,

Hi michyms and Tinkerbelle,


Tks for asking, our DD2 is doing fine now, she is a little impatient to get off 'soft diet' and she is active and speaking much more now (after the 1st two days of not speaking much :)). She's got a few more days of anti-biotics to finish. Generally doing fine. She is enjoying the ice-cream sessions :), at least 3 times a day :). She says she does not feel any pain anymore, which is good. However, we still keep her indoors to avoid her catching a cough or cold from crowded places. A cough or a cold may cause the operative site to bleed. She understands that, so she is fine with that.

I have called up MCS and was told that we will only get to know in about October or November if our DD2 is exempted from MT.

Have a nice day!
