tankee:Raising ceiling is for immediate term as defaulting will have major effect on fragile economy. They are working on cutting costs and raising taxes to reduce their debt. The disagreement is on what to cut and how much to cut, and what tax to raise.
LLX04:Yeah, I saw the kids that day, the bags like backbreaking super huge! Memories when we were teens - refused to bring textbooks as heavy, and borrow the books from other classes before each lessons! I guess shouldn't teach our daughters such things so young!Hehe, its way to early for shopping spree.
I remembered we got our stuffs for primary 1 in Dec.
School bag - wait till u see the sizes and number of books before getting it. There is a school cabinet for the girls to store their books, arts & crafts, files in their classroom. This lightens their bag load.
Uniform and pe attire - the gals need to wear pe attire twice a week, so it's better to get 2 sets. School jacket - I find this useful during raining season.
School shoes - black ( think just go economical ones since the gals need to take off the shoes for some lessons. )
Bear in mind that being primary 1, they tend to be careless and lost their things often. These are the things I can remember off my heads now. Hope it helps.
Mummy meow:That's right and we felt that too
Me and dh were attracted to the students we saw on Friday when we arrived in the sch compoundThink my girl will enjoy herself very much
zoozoozoo:location is not the only bugging thing in that school, but anyway, nothing is ever perfect, so... overall, i think we made the right choice nonetheless in signing up dd yesterday at mcs
TOTALLY agreed!!! My wild guess is that those who will got ballot out will then join MCS under 2C(supp)...which may eventually lead to balloting for MCS under 2C(S). MCS is actually a very good convent school and i dare say their quality of teaching and the work they are covering don't loss to other all girls' school! (Not doubt other school may offer higher chinese).
The only losing factor MCS is it's location.
the kids running around in recess looked like they had fun, the place had a good vibe also
