Pari, yes, I am thinking hard about how to how to make my girl more responsible for her own studies. :scratchhead: Nowadays, the spelling and ting xie for K2, I'm always the one telling her its time to study. Maybe I should just tell her I expect you to study on your own, and see what happens Or is she too young for me to expect so much? :nailbite:

I agree michmyms...it is like 2 way road.....it is dufficult to decide what is right way i think we have to keep trying few tactics with them and see what works.. :nailbite:

My DD will also be joining the MCS big family next year. Hopefully can meet some of you during the 19-Nov orientation.[/color][/quote]

Yes, there was a waiting list earlier this year. Best to call them & indicate your interest, even before the orientation day.[/quote]

Hi chergaby, Just called BASC and they said long waitlist not sure if she will get in are aware about anyother options near by...

Hi Pari,

I can understand your concerns about DD starting P1. No need to worry too much.....MCS eases the gals in slowly. For P1, the sch really start from scratch.....like counting 1-10. The gals will not be expected to do lots of homework at P1. Most importantly, with the new MOE initiatives for lower primary, learning is actually FUN as the activities really do engage the students.

Sorry...can't help you with BASC. cantbearit2 is the expert for that. You there....cantbearit2???[/quote]

Hi Tinkerbelle, It is actually a relief to know that they will start from basics otherwise I was so worried after seeing their MCS Orientation Book…and all the test they will be going thru in coming year… hopefully they make it li’l slow on girls don’t want DD to scare off from studies..No problem on BASC…will call them and check…

Pari, mummies with dds already in MCS have been really helpful to the rest of us whose dds are waiting to go into P1 next year I am also quite worried about the pressure, and I think the most important to teach them to take responsibility for their own studies. I'm not sure about the BASC for MCS, but I think it's best to at least call up to enquire now if you are looking into it?[/quote]


Hi Michyms, Thanks I agree that we need to teach our DD to be more responsible…trying to teach her but at times she is li’l playful …hopefully she will improve..I was also thinking to call BASC but thought better check first with you mommies….

Thanks All for such a warm welcome


I have read thru few posts seems you guys are really well versed with all the do’s and don’ts of MCS….

I am really worried if my DD will able to cope up with all the sudden pressure of studies……

Any idea when to enroll DD for BASC at school campus…heard there is normally wait list..what are the chances?

Sorry for asking if you all have already discussed ….li’l blur :nailbite:

Hi all!


Please add me in to the list of parents whose girls will be entering P1 next year .

Tks!
