Marymount Convent

Actually MC to queenstown is just one straight road, why the driver cannot come this way. Very sad got to give up this nice school because of transport.

I went down to Marymount personally to enquire too. This is the best school that gives the good vibes. I could observe that the girls were well-behaved, admin lady was cheerful and helpful to our queries. This school is highly recommended if not for the distance. I'm still deliberating if the distance is worth it. There were only a handful of parents that went to apply this afternoon. Moreover this school is within 15mins walking distance from Caldecott mrt station.

Congrats to your success!

I do think the distance is worth it if 1. you are getting into a good school and 2. without ballot.

I agree with Bluemoon. It's a good school. I stay in the Queenstown area and had to give it up last year because of transport issues and the lack of good response from the bus coordinators. It's a good choice if you can arrange for transport.

They do pick-up in the Holland area though. Pickup is around 10.30am (school starts @12.30pm) and dropoff is around 8pm (school ends @6.30pm). First to pick-up and last to drop-off though the actual ride from Holland to Marymount is <20mins by car. This is without any CCA included. No bus service bus for kids with CCA.

When I enquired further, the bus coordinator became rude at my first question and I stopped the conversation short. For me, that killed my choice for MCS especially when my DD is yet to be registered in the school. Heard similar issues with transport from others. I liked the school though.
