wimdils:

thanks for the tip! yup, Velcro's the way to go!


Can i assume that the textbooks and uniforms and bus transport uncles and aunties will also be there.. i hope so.. can get settled all in one day.. EXCITING times are near

The school will sent out letters on textbook list, uniforms and bus transport list. You may order the textbooks from the web. As for the uniforms, there will be forms to fill up and you will need to bring it to the vendor at Toa Payoh to purchase the uniforms.

Hi phoenix,

That's a great idea...I'm sure your DD will enjoy herself.

The Fun-Fair will be held on the 5 November, Saturday, 10am-4pm at MCS. All are welcome so do drop in and support the sch's efforts to raise funds for the sch's upgrading. There will be game stalls, fun activities, sale of handicrafts and a food fair. :drool:

There will be no cash transaction on that day so the sch is now selling fun-fair coupons to be used at the fun-fair. Each sheet cost $10 and comes with 10x$1 coupons. All MCS students have been given 10 sheets to sell. For 2012 P1 parents, you can buy your fun-fair coupons from the sch's General Office. Hope to see you there.

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 :).

Hi Gin,
DD does take the sch bus so can't share much about the sch bus system.

Generally, there are many cars parked by the road side at about 6.30ish. Parents can only drive into the sch to pick their kids up after the sch buses leave the sch compound (about 10 mins after dismissal).

However, not all parents drive-in. Some choose to park by the road side or at the Marymount Kindergarten carpark and walk to the sch foyer to fetch their kids.

Hi funkymonkey,
Yes, I can imagine this will be a super busy time for you....lots to prepare. Not long to go.....Hari Raya Puasa next week already. :rahrah:

Wow...your DS is doing really well. Definitely not easy to maintain 90+ for P5. You should be so proud of him. :boogie: Must say he's very motivated hor.... not many kids will ask for tuition automatically... :evil: Maybe most of his friends have tuition so he also wants a piece of the action..

Yes, I bought past year papers for DD to do but she has been so busy with sch homework etc...no time to do until recently when we prepared for SA1. Personally, I think they are good as they provide students with greater exposure to various standard & challenging questions, especially maths & Science. Definitely a good investment if your DS can find the time :moneyflies:

Wow.....did you receive 10 sheets of the Fun-Fair coupons today? I got DDx2 so receive 20 sheets. My DDs are so excited...they can't wait. They told me not to sell the coupons...they wanna use all of the coupons themselves... :yikes: :faint:

What makan are you donating for the Fun-Fair?

Yes, holidays starts next Thurs. :rahrah: definitely must bring DDs out to have fun during the holidays! Mummy also need to unwind... :rotflmao:

Thanks....We are well and surviving PSLE....so far. Maybe 4-5 weeks down the road, I'll be :nailbite:
