May I know for those children that took school bus, if they have to stay back for remedial/CCA/after school care, will the bus send them back after that?

Hi mummies, pls share hows your children progress in Marymount Convent? Academic? After school care? Thanks alot

There's an after school care within the school and whilst my gal isn't part of it, whenever I go pick up my DD and see the gals in after-care, they're always happy and laughing.

MCS has a group of very dedicated teachers and very serious about academics, though there's also holistic development in exposing gals to all sports/arts in their compulsory modular curriculum which is during lesson time, once a week.

Especially for academics, they pull out gals who are not as good in the subject (english, math or MT) and will have after school once a week 1-hour small group remedial. Until the gal improves, then can opt out.

MT (Chinese) from P1 separates the gals into those stronger in Chinese and those who need more support, and the books / pace will be different for them, hence giving them the targeted support necessary.

Thks lil_jade for your informatio
May I know your gal in which level now?[/quote]She's in P2.

Not sure about student care, but if you paid for the bus both ways (to and fro school), then there will be a 1:30 ish bus which is immediately after school. There is also a 4:30 ish bus which will send those gals who have CCA, remedial etc back home. Just need to inform the bus driver. Note that it might not be the same bus for both timings.

Hi,

Can I help to answer this question?

MCS will separate girls from P1 into different classes for MT (at least for Chinese, not sure about Malay or Tamil). These girls will go to different teachers for Chinese, and will be joining girls from other classes. The sorting is based on their MT performance in the early chinese class work. Thereafter, the girls will have the respective exposure. Thus far, my DD who is in the slightly better class for Chinese seemed to be given quite a bit of exposure for Chinese (though I'm not certain if it's comparable to the Higher Chinese syllabus, perhaps other more experienced MCS parents can help enlighten on this).

Only in P5 will girls better in Chinese be asked to choose Higher MT or not (though I'm not certain how much their performance in other subjects will be taken into account for this decision).

Welcome to both!

MCS is a great school (only drawback is no affiliation, sigh!) and the gals are polite and happy. Teachers and principals / VP are approachable and understanding.

Phase 2C is historically no problem whatsover, and there's still vacancies after all the SC and PR who applied got in successfully. Phase 2CS is riskier. All the best!

My DD is in P2. She isn't in aftercare, but I've seen the aftercare gals often (the aftercare in this holding school is right next to the pickup point/foyer) and the gals are always happy.
