For this yr, instructions were for the boys to wear PE top and berms to sch. Change in/ out PE shorts only when there was PE. For those who didn’t change out, warnings were given. There were a couple of times this yr the boys also had to go sch in full uniform, with tie. But those were considered rare occasions. So far, no need to buy/ wear house tee. There will be accumulation of coloured tees (CCA/ class/ house tee) all clearly instructed to purchase if required. Just buy uniforms n PE sets will do.

Shoes-as long as mostly white, some stripes, logos in other colours were deemed to be ok.

:thankyou: for the detailed advice!

Hi, am also happy to join the whatsapp chat group for S1 2022 if there is any as my boys will be in CHS next year. Have settled both uniforms, shoes and books for them so far.

How did you manage to get everything done so fast? I don't even know what to buy.

Hi everyone, my DS applied for CHS. Hopefully will be seeing you next year. Is there a WhatsApp chat group for the school, or for the S1? I’d be happy to join if anyone can PM me the link.


Oh and about the uniforms, I understand that they are allowed to wear PE tops with berms during this Covid period. But if I don’t know the house for PE, can I just buy the normal PE tee? Additionally for the shoes, what are the requirements?

Ants on the Apple


Anyone can tell me where to buy Ants on the Apple CD & songbook in Singapore? I've tried calling Popular but they don't carry it. Some online shops in Singapore do/did but it seems to be out of stock everywhere. Even websites like Amazon says it's OOS/Out of Print. What does \"out of print\" mean anyway? It's obsolete? :stupid:

Yeah it's around there, with the building fund, miscellaneous fees in already. No school bus though Waiting for the bus service to get back to me on the rates.


Yup I've filled up the form. But I frogot to bring a cheque out today so can only post tomorrow. Silly me :x

Reality vs Fantasy, Creativity, Imagination


Just wanna ask what's the importance of having fantasy play and creative play with imagination? Coz Montessori advocates reality-based learning rather than playing with swords and daggers and slaying dragons.

Does this mean that playing with masak masak pretending to cook and eat is 'wrong'? Is colouring trees orange and the sun purple to be stamped out? Is using a plastic container as a hat 'deviant'? :?

I made a mistake abt the school fees too.

It's actually slightly less than $800/mth, including the building fund, materials fees, gst etc. At first I thought it was more than $1k/mth coz still had to add in $200+ /mth for the miscellaneous stuff.

Is it? Then maybe either they didn't get the question correctly, or I heard them wrongly.haha...pai seh for the wrong info...so, how was the session? Are u determine to send your boy to MFC?? :celebrate:

No probs, it's just a simple miscomm

Hiaz.. Hubs has no opinion on the pedagogical method. He's only concerned that his darling is happy, safe, enjoys learning, will become disciplined, more well-bahaved etc. So.. he has no objections to MFC itself.

I brought up a minor point abt whether it's healthy for our boy to go to school with classmats whose parents are very.. ahem.. well off, but he thinks they don't know at this age anyway. So.. prob we'll be going for MFC.

It's just the :moneyflies:

I went to the MFC parent presentation yesterday and asked abt whether they will pluck the child out to another class if he's advanced. Nope, the child will stay in the same class throughout his pre-school yrs so that the same directress can follow through his progress.

The only time they 'change class' is if they stay for the extended day coz some will choose Montessori, some will choose Chinese etc. But even so, the 2nd class remains unchanged throughout too.

Hmm.. why am I aws reading OLD books? :?
