I just went to check out on the school environment

There’s no open house

May I know what do you like about this school?

Hi Jadelee6688


No open house? thats quite sad. but how was the environment? U like it? Mind to share?

For us considering MCS was because we are looking for girl sch. and since we are staying beyond 2km from any of them, it doesn't give us much choices. I have contacted MCS & was told that we can reg during phase 2b since i was baptised in catholic church. undeniable, the distance from home to school is still quite a concern to us. since we still have some times to decide, i don't wish to make a wrong choice (not abt the sch but the distance...) :scratchhead:

Frankly speaking I feel the gals are quite well behaved

I am not sure about the academic too

No ballotting at Phase 2C for girls schoo, so no choice but to go for it lor. With the school newly renovated, facilities and space wise are definetly better than 2 years ago. In terms of academic, P1 and P2 managable. P3 onwards if girls are in top 2 classes, the teachers assigned to these classes are academic driven and will push the sudents, more homework and extra worksheets. If in mixed abilities, very much depend on luck, whether teachers assigned are willing to go extra miles to help weaker students!!

Oh no open house? Don't know can arrange for visit or not.

Actually for my girl, the nearest for us is CHIJ St Nic or Anderson Primary. Hubby and I would prefer her to go for a girls school. CHIJ sure no chance, frankly speaking we don't quite like the idea of schools concentrating only on academic and focusing more on the better students but seems like most of the schools are the same?

Read the past posts from here, MCS seems not bad

You can visit the school at 1.30pm when they finished school

Hi all,


We are currently staying in sembawang/yishun area. In a dilemma whether to just send our girl to the nearby neighborhood school or MCS as we see alot of positive feedback on MCS from this forum.

1. How does MCS fare in terms of curriculum (academic) and co-curriculum?
2. How are the teachers and environment in MCS? Is it stressful? Reason is we want our girl to enjoy schooling and learning.
3. Compare to neighborhood schools around sembawang/yishun any difference?
4. Any parents staying in sembawang/yishun sending their kids to MCS at the moment?

I realize that the school is not easily accessible using public transport (bus and MRT). Need to walk quite a distance from the nearest MRT, Caldecott (Unable to cut through upon coming out from Caldecott station). As for the nearest bus stop, I believe it’s a distance away.

Appreciate feedback and comments on the above. Thanks in advance.

Hi SoYouThink


I am having the same doubts as you as I am staying at Sembawang are and wanted so much to send my girl (my one & only) to MCS in 2018. Reg should starts soon i perhaps, like in 1 or 2 months time and we are still contemplating. Friends & family find us crazy why take the troubles to send her to a sch that is so far away from where we stay (if we choose MCS we will have to send her to sch and she will be at student care after that until i fetch her after work).

But by reading so many positive feedback in this forum, i just cannot stop imagine my girl in MCS next year already and she also has been influenced by us and telling everybody she's going MCS next yr..

If anyone/any kind soul :imanangel: who has their children in MCS now & is currently staying in Sembawang/Yishun, please share your view/comments ya. :thankyou:

:hugs:
