hi, there all,


I am so glad that there's stg to look forward to in the mornings and see the msg in my e-mail to prompt me to check this thread, feels like a family when i hear the friendly banter that's going around...
I felt good, when dd's teacher told me that i had made a great choice in mcs..

I would like to check on the black shoes for the school, preferring a more sporty version.. does reebok as mentioned earlier in the thread still carry them?

Hi wimdils,
Reebok still sells black shoes but don't if it's sporty enough for you. Might be a good idea to check it out when you go shopping next. If you see anything you like at Royal Sporting House, maybe you might like to wait till the Nov holidays....they'll have a promotional sale then.
Have fun shopping

Just wondering if CCA is compulsory for P3 gals.

Hi AbeT,
CCA is not compulsory in MCS as we have the PE3 programme.
Only gals who are selected for the various CCA will be invited to join specialised CCA. Is your DD planning on joining CCA?

wimdils, I bought the sporty kind of black shoes for my dd from Bata - comes with either velcro or shoe lace...


It's nice to hear that teachers think MCS is a good choice

I preferred velcro type as I still haven't teach my gal how to tie shoe lace. hahaa. She will need to take off her shoes during PE and Dance sessions, so velcro type will be more convenient.

Hi jesyeo,
Long time no 'see'. Good to see you back here.

How's things with your DD? Must be a relief to finish the last CA2 paper today. :rahrah:

Rl's IP programme only admits girls in Year5-6. Year 1-4 is only for boys. On other words, gals from RGS Yr 4 will proceed to RI Yr 5 for their IP prog.


The kids will select their sch of choice after PSLE based on their T-score. Some kids who have applied for DSA (direct sch admission) via academics or CCA may already have confirmed offers from their sec sch of choice before PSLE.

Thanks for sharing Tinkerbelle. Do you have any thoughts on the IB programms at ACSI? Is it a popular option as well?

Hi michyms,
Don't really know much about ACSI's IB prog. Only know they accept gals in Year 5 & 6 only and they produce top IB scorers every year.

yes I do agree. My dd's pair is like the Mary Jane type with velcro - you reckon its suitable for PE as well?
