Just wanted to say a big \"Thank You\" to all you mummies and daddies in this forum for your positive comments and sharing with regards to the MCS school environment. :grphug: It played a big part in us deciding to enrol our DD1 in MCS - she will be starting P1 next year.


We were initially looking at SCGS (as we are <1 km away) and were torn between MCS and SCGS. Being Catholics, we wanted a Catholic school for DD1 and DD2. On the other hand, SCGS is so near our home. But with SCGS being so over-subscribed this year (even being SC doesn't help), it was a no-brainer to go with MCS, and I think we made the right choice. Had very good vibes when we were at the school for 2B registration, and we can see DD fitting in well in her new school.

If the civility and generosity present in this forum (so different from some of the other school forums) is an indication of the school environment, then we have definitely picked the right school! Looking forward to getting to know you all - thanks again! :hugs:

hi

i'm sure your kid would fit in very well and would be happy in mcs. for catholics, there is a wednesday bible class, not sure what they call it in school, \"pastoral care\"?, and my kid likes it better than her cathechism :).

Hi ohdaddy,


Thanks very much for your note. Good to hear that MCS has bible classes to complement the catechism classes in church. Hopefully she will enjoy MCS' bible classes as much as your DD. :love:

Hi ohdaddy

Is the bible class compulsory?

Hi ohdaddy

Is the bible class compulsory?

hi

it is during curriculum time, recommended for catholics. non-catholics can either opt-in or opt-out into, i think, a secular similar programme on values etc.

nowadays not like last time everyone goes.

Hi happymom2,

In MCS, catechism is held on wed. My DD is attending it even though we r not catholics. It is optional & held b4 sch time. Thus for those who wish to attend, ey will have to reach sch earlier on every wed & bring e bible along. So far, my DD is enjoying e lessons so we juz let her continue.

Sounds good! It must be an interesting class if your DD likes it. Thanks, cantbearit2, for sharing the info. The thing that strikes me after reading many of the parents' comments here, is that MCS has many happy kids
