Thanks, michyms! Good to know that there's free dental services in the school. Anything else we newbie parents should know about MCS?


Will the school contact us regarding orientation? It's on 17 Nov @ 8:30am but other than that, no other info provided. Pardon the questions, we are going through this for the 1st time so really don't know what to expect. TIA!

Hi, you will be receiving a letter with all the details closer to orientation date. On orientation day, there will be a talk by the principal then you will be ushered into the classrooms to fill in a deck of forms (it was alot of forms I recall). Along with the letter, there will be details on the ordering of uniforms and textbooks. All these happen around November

Thank you for the info. Will look out for the letter then.

Hi happymom2,

The orientation is fixed on 17 Nov??? Where did you get this information? Am not aware of it at all... :oops:

Errrr....it was handwritten on the registration form (blue copy) that the school mailed back to us after P2B had ended, to confirm that we got a place. We received it about a week after the registration. You should be getting it, too...I think...

Our form states that orientation is at 8:30am on 17 Nov (Sat), with registration starting from 8am.

Phase 2B applicants would have received the confirmation by now, whereas phae 2C would be another week or so I believe.

Studious Alien:

Just found out that an accident involving a P4 girl took place at MCS. She supposedly knocked into a pillar in the parade ground and suffered various injuries such as a broken nose and cheeckbone. Eyewitnesses have said that she bled a lot. I have also seen that the pillar which she knocked into has a sticky tape stuck on it which I have heard that it was to cover a crack on the pillar. There were also some blood stains left at the scene...


Very scary :nailbite: I hope that she will recover soon.

P.S. I'm a student

ah! hope that poor kid is better.

Hi all,


I have called e sch regarding the change in upgrading plans. Yes it has been confirmed on e holding site (1st Toa Payoh). However MCS can't confirm on when ey r gg single session as ey r not sure if the holding site has enough capacity. :scratchhead:

For parents wif kids in student care like myself, e student care can't b sure ey r moving together wif MCS to e holding site. :sad: E person in charge juz mentioned tat most likely ey will move whr e sch is. :nailbite:

These r some uncertainties which parents may wish to take note of.

hi thanks for the update. hope they give firmer details earlier than later.

Hi mummies!


My girl had also just gotten in to MCS. Feeling kinda lost and anxious as this is my elder girl and my first time dealing with a kid going to primary sch. Hope to find like-minded mummies here to share experience and find support. Just wondering if there’s a MCS parent support group or girls attending MCS staying in Bishan group?

Reminds me of my past.. I still remember school upgrading and we need to move to temporary school also in Toa payoh (lor8). Now my dd will need to go through the same thing as me :rotflmao: so coincidence


I still rem how excited and rahrah to move there during my time. Looking forward for the orientation in nov
