Hi All MGSian Parents,


do you have any information abt the P1 textbooks and uniform or i supposed it will be conveyed over the orientation? Ditto here, first girl attending P1 and do not know what lies ahead for MGS, but really looking forward to it.

:? I have no idea. Guess it will be covered during the orientation.......

Just curious, are you MGSian parents working or stay home mom? For myself, i am currently working full time. Not sure if i can juggle work & family when my eldest attends primary sch next yr :idea:

I am a working mother too, so did my mother. And myself never had a tuition...can i expect my girl to do the same? em, I am not quite sure but I think it's good to train her to be more independent.

I went to the sch web site and found that they are doing RAD ballet for CCA.


My girl is learning ballet with some private studio now. Should I stop the private one and let her continue in the sch CCA??? Any idea what's the different........cos alot of parent sending their children to the private dance studio. :roll:

Hei, we are thinking about the same thing. My girl is also having a ballet class, em, little progress after about 1 year. I will shift to CCA if it is good.

Anyone knows if MGS CCAs are free or must pay a fee for them?

I just talked to some friends about our choice of joining MGS and they warm me this is an expensive school with CCA not free (while in other schools they are free) and too many rich parents...-(( hope these are not true.
We are just ordinary people and hope my girl will not feel uncomfortable there.

Hi everyone, My gal will be entering P1 next year too..its exciting because I'm an 'old gal' of the school. Let's pool our thoughts and advices here to build up our girls !!! :celebrate:

O I’ve already bought the uniforms as I don’t want to jostle with 209 other parents during orientation. You might wanna be kiasu like me …hee… Uniforms are sold at YANG ZI JIANG at Block 26 Teck Whye, very convenient since we’re staying in Choa Chu Kang. I heard that school books can be ordered thru PACIFIC BOOKSTORE via email…i’ll wait till orientation to do that(booklist of MGS not out on website)


As for the RAD exam…Coach in MGS is pioneer ballerina Mrs Sarkies, if i’m not wrong. My daughter is attending ballet at the Dance Station now and her teacher/Principal is very very good hence i don’t think i wanna take her out from there. Will let her join other CCAs(MGS has got lotsa CCA , really spoilt for choice) . My only concern is the number of children in the class (ballet). Currently only abt 10girls in Dance station, which is a good number…My gal will be taking the grade 1 RAD exam in april 2010.

Hope i’ve helped to clear some doubts…cheers

Hi,


I am an old girl of MGS Pri and have a daughter going to P1 in 2010. We stay in Woodlands and am wondering how early the bus will come to pick her up. Is anybody staying in woodlands / Sembawang area?

I have not received any details about the orientation on 14 Nov 09. Since we are minority and non-Chirstians, I hope she will settle in confortably.

Cheers! :lol:

No details about oritentation for us either.

All we got so far was the notification for admission.

So pls don't have any notion of discrimination
