Hi lynnwang,


We found it okay.
We had a missing book: Helpmate from the book order (we ordered online and collected today) – which we had to call the vendor tomorrow…
My girl enjoyed it and was so eager telling me the meaning of her class name, etc

How about you?

Dear mummies,


We were shopping around and we chanced upon name stickers. We did a P1 Perseverance sticker set Of 50 which we reckoned we won’t be able to finish off. Any parents want the balance? It’s Disney princess assortions.

My girl was so upset because she loves blue but she got yellow.

So far, none belongs to the same class yet.
Hope to have more parents coming on board.
I am not buying some things like drawing block, scissors, dictionary, A5 exercise book covers, and glue sticks as we have them already.
Although I am a little skeptical about the dictionary as the current dictionary does not have much pictures and may not have some words as it’s Collins brand. I will see if I can catch a teacher in time on orientation.
Anyway, I am placing my order from 27Nov as there’s some card promotion (5% rebates which sums up to roughly $10odds?)

I don’t mind sending my daughter to the catholic classes but just wondering because she attends Sunday schools at our church too. Will she find it confusing?

Hi Grapefruit,


Thanks for the heads up!
We’ve retrieved our mail too.
What class and house your girl’s in?
My girl’s in One Perseverance and in Topaz house (yellow).
House usually are for sports wise? Like during PE etc? Unless MCS is a different case.

Anw, can order online for the books fr 11nov and collect on that day to avoid queues.

Can just check if any of you is a Christian (non-Catholic)? Will you then put your kid to Catholic values classes?
Or only Catholic baptised children can attend?

Hi Ping!


Thanks for meeting too!
It was fun for Nicole as well.
Next meet up soon
And hopefully you could visit the centre soon!

Hello Mummies (just for sharing),


We just visited GSSCC. It is really a nice environment (except for the bad condition of the holding site premise)…

We were told 5 important information which we felt it will be good to share:

1) Assessment Books - the centre will provide a list to registered parents on a set of "standardize" assessment books for us to purchase and they will do it during their study time. So if you are planning to send your DD to student care, then no need to buy any assessment books yet.

2) The student care will close (standard) on the last 5.5 days of the year annually (i.e. est. 23 Dec PM onwards for 2016), unless there’s any rare closure (teachers’ combined trainings, etc) along the year… So be prepared to block your leave from a certain date every year.

3) For girls who nap, they will be needed to bring sleeping bags to school to sleep. Every Friday, they will bring them back to wash.

4) Lunch will be cooked by an auntie in the canteen (employed by the student care as the student care does not have the cooking facilities). So the girls will eat at the canteen before going over.

5) From term 2 onwards, the girls will start reporting to the centre themselves and attendance taking will be done in the centre.

Hope this can enrich in any parents’ info.

On a sideline, the centre really look pretty jovial for the girls. And there’s even a piano in the centre, for playing during free time. Which I felt will enrich the girls experience, especially when they are going to wait for us to pick them up.

Hello all parents!


I am so glad to find this thread!

Like most here, I am also a parent with ONE and ONLY precious.
And DH and me have, ironically, prefers to have 2-3 children.
However, getting a second one has been even tougher than hitting a jackpot (in fact even so for DD).
So now, at this stage when DD is turning 7 next year and entering primary school, we felt we should NOT push too hard on ourselves anymore.

Like some challenges posted here, we faced all of them. In fact, due to DD's socializing skills & activeness, we had problems when we are alone (which is often the time asides school)… She needs 100% of our attention and sometimes behaves like a tyrant. Especially when she's the only grandchild (both paternal and maternal sides)… With no cousins to play with, its even terrible and to add it worst, the grandparents (sometimes DH too) tends to give in too much to her…

At preschool level, I can still contain her (not much freedom on her own except to play toys etc)… But as she enters primary school, I am really worried if she would falls out of track, and if she would feel too bored she played too much with other friends?

Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope to gain more knowledges for enlightenments. At the same time, I am very open to having play-dates too

Hello VeronKoh!


My girl is also going for P1 2016 at MCS! Looking forward to seeing all of you soon. We are also planning to meet some mummies and girls an hour earlier or so on the 20nov (prolly near the school).. Will you or any others be interested?

**Please ignore below but for FYI: They carries \"Zhi Shi Bao\"...
Anyway, a quick question to current mummies. Does the school has chinese newsletter subscription for the girls? We are comtemplating to get the iPen the reads Chinese newsletter (on promo from Popular currently).

Hi Parents,


Wondering how come MCS does not have uniform groups as CCAs?
I girl is pretty active and adventurous.
Was still thinking of introducing uniform groups to her for exposure and to choose between Aesthetics, Sports, and Adventures…

Anyway, hows the Netball / Tennis in the school? Didnt see much on those.

Hi pingsped, you may click this link http://www.marymountconvent.moe.edu.sg/ ... rivers.pdf to access the list of drivers and contacts. But from the last time I called, they couldn't reveal the exact time yet but they probably can roughly let you know your place will be # to be picked.
