Congrats & welcome to the MCS family! :grphug:Hi!
Would like to report as my DD got into MCS successfully! Thanks, sembgal for your reassurance when I asked about MCS compared to other gals' schools some time ago!
BTW, can I check if we ought to receive anything from MCS or MOE about the successful application? Cos I'm paranoid and while I'm sure I registered successfully already (via online), I a little kiasi... hehehe....
On another note, regarding location, we stay in sembawang / yishun boundary.. So I'm also not sure which area it's considered... And I think I read somewhere in some distant MCS post in the past that Yishun is much cheaper cos it's a huge bus that ply almost whole of Yishun, whereas the Sembawang one is a small van, picks up relatively fewer gals and therefore the overall journey is shorter? Thus, the higher price for sembawang? Can I check if any mummy has booked the bus already or can just wait until orientation?
Also, can any current MCS mummy advise the hair accessories? I assume gals can keep long hair, and if so, is the color of the accessories black only? My gal wants to start getting ready... Hahaha....
(Sorry! So many questions!! But my gal and I are super excited and we've been chanting MCS and doing the victory dance since last Thursday!)
My DD is in P2 this year. Dont panic! During orientation last year, all info was given in a 'booklet'/file. Info like style of long hair should be tied up neatly, only black clips or hairband/hairtie etc. Also contact nos. of bus transport. etc etc. And on the spot there would be Giro forms and many pre-requisite forms distributed as well when all parents gathered in the respective classrooms. There would be time for Q&A too. Do remember to bring a pen and a small note pad.
For transportation time, do take note that for the first few days when school starts, pick up and drop off will be delayed because there will be new students to be catered to.
All in all, great experience! Have fun and enjoy a brand new phase for your DDs! haha :rahrah: -
RE: Marymount Convent
My DD is in p2 this year and she loves gg to school, something I’m happy abt rather than pushing her into top school like my elder son had, and ended him having an unhappy 5years (hell started in p2 when high scores were emphasized). Really regretted. Teachers are strict but approachable.
CCA wise she wasnt selected for dance club last year but this year school chose her to join. So if yr DD wasn’t selected in 1st yr for preferred CCA, don’t fret there may be another chance fwlg year.
Overall thumbs up for MCS! -
RE: All About Finding & Evaluating Tutors
Hi all, very interesting discussion you all have there. My dd (P2) watches 东海 with me too! And we even discuss the story...I'm amazed she understands it :). Btw she is currently with Berries, and am considering changing her to Tien Hsia. Any feedback on TH please?

The principal doesn’t encourage extra tuition but it’s up to the parents. If the student is weak in English they do hv extra class once a week in school help them. Hope this helps.

RE: ANJ Dance School - Discussion
My gal is in shawn&gladys currently n am considering changing her school coz they kept adding new students to current classes n the teacher’s attention seems diversified not focused. Also the new girls are of different age group. Looks messy. Does anj do the same by putting new students into current classes?
Are the teachers friendly n responsible?
Appreciate any feedback/comments?
Thanks! -
