Hi everyone, I’m new to the forum. Can I check what CCAs are good in MBS and how much time do they take up? Are CCAs also mandatory? Thanks!

I only know MBS is well known for their band. There'll definitely be extra practices during SYF years, so the children do have to spend quite a bit of time if get into band.

CCAs are incorporated into the curriculum on Thursday for P3-P6, so lessons end at 3.45pm on Thursday. Hence, if the child doesn't take up a CCA, not sure what the child would do during the 2 hours of CCA, would recommend the child to take up a CCA to learn something instead of wasting 2 hours of time.

Yes indeed MBS band is probably one of the best primary school bands in Singapore and potentially outperform some secondary schools too. My kids have graduated from MBS and they started band in primary 1/ 2 though cca wasn't compulsory. They have indeed benefited and are currently still in the band in secondary school & JC. With the training they received in MBS band, they are consistently being graded as strong performers.

Maha Bodhi offers Higher Chinese from P1 to P4. Weaker students drop to Normal Chinese from P5 onwards. That was my understanding before I enrolled my son in this year's exercise. Perhaps a parent with an existing student there can confirm this as well?

is there any K2 Moe kindergarten, that is affliated to Maha Bodhi primary ?

Hi, are there any kids staying in Sengkang and taking school bus service? What is the pick up time and drop off time? Thank you,

[cheehoe]

Hi Huimin22, you can call up Maha Bodhi School to enquire their school bus service. However, considering how far Seng Kang is from Maha Bodhi School, your child will need to travel early since the school starts at 7:30AM in the morning.
