AbeT:

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?

Hi michyms,
The mary jane ones (from BATA) are great for PE too!its super light and dries easily.Just remember to LABEL your gal's name on the shoes!!!! [/quote]Hi funkymonkey,

Hi,


I drove by MCS at about 6.40p.m. yesterday. There were so many cars still waiting along the roadside. Now, I am not so sure if my hubby and I should be sending and picking up our girl from school. I was thinking that it might take a longer time for our DD2 to get home if she gets picked up from school by us. She is keen to take the school bus.

Does anyone have any info about how the school bus system works and how efficient it is?

Tks for info :).

Thanks funkymonkey, I will remember to label her schools. I hope she doesn't come back with someone else's schools someday?
