Finally this morning the good news came and my girl is going to join Marymount. Anything that i need to take note of before joining the new school?
Anyway i saw that their uniform have 2 different designs and why is that so? lower and upper primary level? and marymount have their own jacket? can we wear our own jacket if cold?
books, uniform, pe attire, shoes, socks etc.
Thanks for any information all is welcome.

Congratulations! MCS is a very loving and caring school. Hope your gal will love it as much as my gal.

Yes, there are 2 variations for school uniform, actually 3. The dress is for P1 - P3 while the top and skirt is for P3 - P6. For prefects, they wear a white shirt with skirt. Every week, the gals are only required to wear the uniform on 1 day. Other days, just PE attire. School uniform and PE top will be labelled with their name tag, ready sew when we collect them. No headache for parents at all. Yes, the gals can only wear the school jacket to school.

There will be a parent rep for each class and a class groupchat Iwhatsapp) will be created for communication purpose.

Hi parents


I would like to hear from parents whose daughters are studying in MMC on the amount of books that the students require to bring on a daily basis and what would be a good size school bag to purchase? I saw a wide variety online and not sure what is a good size bag to buy to fit all the books required for each day. I haven’t gotten the book list yet for my daughter going P1 next year so really appreciate your sharing in advance!

Hi all


I always see a long queue of cars dropping off kids at MC. Is it a daily grind in the mornings? Doesnt seem to be the faster drop and go sort.

[Jaydazzlerz]

Other query is, our family is Catholic and we would want our dd to attend a Catholic sch.


Wouldnt say MC is the next option if IJ TP fails as ive been told by many others. I believe both have their own strengths but am leaning twds IJ for their affiliation.
We fall under 2B but >2km for both schs. Not sure if MC has bus to Wdlands, Past stats has showed ballots for 2B but doesnt say hw many km zone.
DS went thru the ballotted system for 2B and ‘‘potentially’’ move on to SJI which is near both MC and IJTP so i can drop them both…the upcoming TEL is handy as well. Still pondering what to do…

Woodlands to Caldecott TEL station will be ultra convenient when it’s up.


I see plenty of parents who choose to drop off/pick up their MC gals at Caldecott MRT. There’s a side gate up the hill to the school. There are sufficient waiting areas for cars. Don’t need to go squeeze with the main crowd.

Hi, I’m a newbie here. I’ve been reading the forum and feels that MC is a really good fit for my daughter.

Would like to find out more if PR’s over 2km would be able to get in easily in Phase 2C, especially when there is now the cap on PR’s? We would prefer not to move but if need be then we will make the necessary work.

Hi everyone


I saw from past statistics that it is rather easy to enter MC at Phase 2C. Just want to confirm that it is so (that I am not reading the info wrongly). Also, to ask why MC does not seem so popular with parents.

[phtthp]

In the past only, Yes, easy to enter Marymount convent.



But ever since Moe imposed the quota, not easy for PR anymore unless u happen to stay within the distance, whereby no need to ballot. Thus, still need to prepare another "stand-by" school.

Marymount Convent is a good school.

It is not popular,
because
no affliation advantage to Secondary schools, unlike the ( CHIJ, Paya Lebar Methodist, Methodist Girls) "All-Girls" primary schools.
