[quote=\"Kismet123\"]Thanks! My son is enrolled for P1 next year - will be good to connect with other “dragon” parents! :rahrah:

Oh, congrats! He got in via which phase?

Thanks - 2A!
Can I check what is the arrangement like now that the school is single session? What time does school start/end?[/quote]School starts at 7.30am, ends at 1.45pm.
Can drive into school to drop off kids from 7am-7.25am.
Pick up kids after school for P1&2 will be at the side gate basketball court. (No drive in allowed)

Hi I would like to know which are the student care recommended and the pricing for the student care as well. As it is approaching P1 registration, I’m quite concern in regards to this. How the school is going to transport the children from school to the respective student cares. I check with the school during the open house and the answer they gave is check with the student care but the student care direct the question back to check with the school. I’m abit appalled by that. Another thing what are the chances for 1-2KM in phase 2C? Hopefully there will not be balloting as per like last year but due to dragon year I’m keeping my fingers crossed as well!

Hi Nana82,
Last year no balloting required for 1-2km, pls be assured of that. Only >2km needs to ballot.

U might be pleased to know that although this is dragon year, but currently 2B intake is LESSER than last year!

Loosen your fingers! It’s fine... Your child has a v v v high chance of entering via 2C

[quote=\"Jennevie\"]Hi is MBS doing a open house ?

Maha Bodhi primary doesn't conduct any Open house.


Open House -
is conducted either in NEW primary schools or in those existing schools : where a lot of remaining vacancies are still left behind at end of Phase 2C Supp, so in order to attract more parents to enter such schools, they therefore conduct Open House, to lure parents to enrol their kids.

Maha Bodhi primary doesn't fall into such category : because every year, balloting is conducted in Phase 2C, for SCs staying less than 1 km, from MBS. PR : zero chance

based on recent, latest 2017 MOE announcement, Macpherson primary to merge into Cedar primary :-
http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/education/merry-go-round-of-mergers-for-some-affected-primary-schools


Thus, for SC parents who fail to ballot successfully into Maha Bodhi primary at Phase 2C, this coming July 2017 (two months from today May 2017), for 2018 Primary 1 intake :-
if Cedar primary still have remaining vacancies in Phase 2C Supp : you may consider enrolling your child, into Cedar.
Or if your child happen to be a girl : can also consider enrol her into Cannosa Convent primary

by end of Phase 2C :-
Maha Bodhi primary : will be full-house, all seats taken


may refer past historical balloting trend, for MBS

if you're nervous of balloting at Phase 2C for MBS, & your child is a girl, can also consider Haig Girls primary

Hi thanks for replying. I'm going to register my dd to MBS in phase 2A2. I'm staying in sengkang. I'm just worried that is too early for her if the school is going to start one session next year 2018. Any idea is the school will start all in morning session next year? May I know there are how many students in a class?[/quote]90% single session next year. Building up, now waiting for MOE to approve.

P1 30paxs/class, total 11 classes

Hi,


Can parents of current P1 kids help to explain this?

During the mid year report book states
Subject. Assessment
English. LC 1
Spelling 1
Language review 1

What are the meaning of LC1, spelling 1 and language review 1?
Because my fren dd scored 100% in both LC1 n spelling1, but only got 80% in language review.

So we are wondering could it be something like CA1 n SA1 during our time...

LC is listening comprehension
Spelling is the weekly spelling
Language review refers to the CA and SA paper.

Tks for your explanation FantasylandDreams!

Your DC in which level? Mine will be in p1 next year!!!

Seems like no balloting even for Phase 2B this year.. SO lucky. Back then, we had to ballot for Phase 2B too...


Congrats & Welcome to those who had registered.

My DD is one of the lucky 45 in P2B!!!

Anyone can advise roughly when will we receive the official letter from MBS?

KAP:
