Marymount Convent

Hi, since I have time now, I shall share what my child and I had experienced on the last day of Phase 2C registration on 1 August 2013, Thursday. We arrived at about 3.30pm, took a queue number and sat down to wait for our number to be called. We finished our registration by 4pm. I decided to bring my child to the toilet that was located near the canteen. As we were thirsty, I decided to get drinks. I gave my child some coins and let her try ordering her own packet drink. There were 2 non-Chinese girls standing near the drinks stall and we said Hi to them. The girls asked if my child was going to Pri 1 next year. I replied her, \"Yes\". Soon after that, she started to compare her height with my child's by using her hand as a form of measurement gauge. She continued to say,\"I'm higher.\" I had to tell her,\"Yes, you are taller.\"


Next, the friendly drinks Aunty started chatting with me. She shared with me that there was a student care beside the school as her grandchild used to study in Marymount before and was in that student care. She told me to call and check with the office staff. I thanked her and left after she gave positive feedback about the teachers.

Along the way out from the canteen, I saw numerous beautiful artwork on the walls. In addition, I saw pianos placed in different part of the school. My girl approached 2 girls who were near the piano and we started chatting. I asked the 2 Chinese girls if they have learnt how to play the piano before and they said they had not. I shared that my child is learning how to play the piano currently and they should learn if they showed interest in learning to play the piano. I asked them where they lived. One replied she lived in Ang Mo Kio while the other replied she lived in Yishun. I asked them why they were not going home yet. They mentioned that they were waiting for the 4.30pm school bus to fetch them home. I could see and feel that the children in Marymount Convent were happy and confident.

I bade farewell to them and decided to throw my packet drinks into the recycling bins. My child likes the 3 recycling bins so much and shared that the 3 recycling bins in Marymount were much bigger than her kindergarten's recycling bins. She shared that she could continue to bring recyclable materials from home to recycle next time if she were to come to Marymount Convent School again.

The culture in Marymount Convent School seems to be very positive and friendly. However, my child is bugging me to get her a hand phone after she noticed the girls in Marymount Convent School taking their hand phones out to call their parents after school or SMS. I believe as long as the child exercise self-control during lesson time not to take out hand phones, the teachers will allow the usage of hand phones in school after school hours. I'm thinking of getting one handphone for my girl in the later part of the year.

Under school rules 2.11
Pupils are allowed to use mobile phones to make calls only outside of curriculum time in the canteen, parade ground and foyer.

BTW has anyone seen today’s Sunday Times featuring a huge illustration of a girl apparently looking so much like one in MCS school uniform on P34-35? I thought it not appropriate as the illustrated girl looked confused and down trodden. The title of article is "School & Stress".
