Hi all, my son fractured his feet last month. As the Secondary school is situated on the slope so going to Bartley Station is very challenging with the clutches so he decided not to bring clutches to school since yesterday and he had cramped muscles on his other leg as it’s a long stairs down to reach to the station. Anybody can give him a lift from school to Bartley Station after school? His lesson ends at 2.15pm today but he can wait around. Thanks in advance.

Anybody has the New Sullabus Mathematics (7th Edition) Textbook 1 to be given away or sell as secondhand, please private message me. Thanks

Anyone have kids in band? Mine is now attending 4 times a week. It seems a bit too much. I was wondering if this is a norm or just starting this year?

My DD has just finished 4 years in MSHS and just got his O Level results.

He was in the band.

During his time, band was only only Wed and Sat at the beginning.

It only get intensive when they are competing in the competition by which time, usually there is a camp meaning the camp in school for concentration and comradeship.

Band is very good becos MSHS Band is a top band, most of the time will win competition, also sure get -2 points for O levels.

Hope that helps ...

Hi VitoRelax

Thanks for the sharing. Wishing your boy all the best. :rahrah:

If I'm not wrong, this year has SYF, so those involve will have more practise than usual.
So the norm for Band is 3 times a week. Wow, that is very intensive. Any parent here whose child is in band? Can share?
My son wanted to do sport as CCA but so far no hope as he was not in any school team in Primary school.
So now my son is waiting for Archery for a reply. If still not selected, he wanted to put Taekwondo as CCA. Was told anybody can do Taekwondo.
Any parent can share their view?

hi 4AsnJ,

Who's your son waiting for a reply from? For the Archery?

I thought we have to submit the 6 options online only? Unless, for those who went for the trials I guess?

My son is keen on the debate club (ELDDS) for now... but also considering Archery for the \"sports\" category

But, from what I know, he didnt go for any trials...hehehe[/quote]Hi winniel_tlh

My son went for table tennis trial, was told not selected. He said something like 4 or 6 only were selected and mostly all were from primary school team, unless u r very good. Oh dear, he didn't tell me anything regarding online submission. He also went for Archery trial yesterday, so the teacher in charge will let him know

Hi all. Forgive my naiveté...but it seems like the CCAs were choosing the boys, and not the boys choosing the CCAs.


Sigh...

That's normal in Secondary School unless it's a uniform group.

Different class has different dismissal time?


My son messaged me at 2:30, they were just dismissed. So, he'll be having lunch in school first before coming home... he's *happy* abt that...hahaha...

My boy from 1G came home late today. According to him, the teacher released them at 2.45pm today

hi Doufu


And, checking with all parents, what time will they be dismissed today? Since it's a \"late\" day? Or is it the same at 1:50pm since it's orientation week?

For my son, he submitted the macbook forms to the form teacher yesterday, & said many of his classmates do it that way too. Guess, we'll just have to wait till Newstead or the school calls to inform that it's ready for collection?

They will be dismissed at 1.50pm according to by my DS.

Hi,


Anybody have more information about the coming Friday Campfire/Welcoming Ceremony? Do the students need to attend? Any parents here had attended in previous years before? Can share with us?
Thanks

Hello, my boy had shared that they need to attend and will be in school for the whole day.
Apparently, there is CCA roadshow in the afternoon.
Just to share what I had heard

Thanks MMM, egbohbc & NewToMaris for the info.

Hi egbohbc,

Parents' car are not allowed to drive into the gate once it's after 6.45am.
