O's Mummy:

Thanks Sembgal! That's pretty informative. What about for PV? Do u happen to know, how many slots they open up for each year?

You can call MCS receptionist at 6256 6701 to enquire about the PV for 2009 children.
I find her very helpful and attentive to my queries.

Hi, any parents went to Marymount Convent School Carnival today? I did. My child asked what is a carnival and I brought her to one to let her experience a school carnival which will be a terrific learning experience for her. This is once in a lifetime experience for my child who is going P1 next year to experience a carnival in school, with funds being raised to contribute towards upgrading the school. Thank you MCS for this golden opportunity for my child to be immersed in such event.

Hi Sembgal,

My DD didn't go, though my neighbour who's a MCS teacher was there. We were joking that we should have let her bring my DD around!

PS: I PM you regarding English enrichment, got some questions for you, thanks!

Hi MCS mummies,


Can anyone advise if the gals can bring bags with the wheels (like a trolley)? I didn’t hear the P mentioning that during the orientation, or I may have dozed off (I’m a naughty mummy, oh dear!).

Also, have bought black shoes for my DD but she’s been complaining that they’re too stiff, so I’m looking at Bata now, but I remember the MCS P said preferably no velcro or mary jane? What’s a good pair of black shoes (reasonably priced but well - suited for running in PE?

Thanks!

PS: And the bus operator has not gotten back after collecting the info at Orientation? When will they inform us? Thanks!

Hi, if u refer to letter dated 12 Nov 2013 that was posted to our homes on 14 Nov, read page 2, normal black Velcro or laced shoes acceptable.

As for trolley bags, the girls will be using staircase. If your girl can carry the trolley bag up the staircase by herself, it should be fine. Trolley bag can't be dragged up the stairs.

Have you bought the books? Bus operator said he will call in December.

I bought laced shoes and the P also mentioned laced shoes better than velcro cos the latter will result in the shoes flying off during PE? Unfortunately, my Neckerman black laced shoes are quite stiff… Shall make my DD wear them a bit everyday to break them in!

Hmm, hubby recommended trolley bags cos P1 classroom will be ground floor, although hall will be second floor.

Bought all the books! I think almost $180 or something!? Shocking… And there were so many colored files as well…

Bus operator: Hopefully, DD can join a bus with less people but it’ll be faster. Don’t mind paying more if the travelling time is significantly shorter!

Booklist amount came up to be $230+ We did not buy the Shaping Math(3rd ed)and Chinese textbooks (rev ed) since we had bought them earlier in the beginning of the year. Other than that, basically everything, including Art materials and optional reference materials in the Booklist, except Tamil and Malay books, will be purchased
