Maybe the purpose is to chase us off?

I got that feeling too.

Actually I feel the session is too short, imo. I had to send an email to the FT asking more about the small writing task. If we were given slightly more time, I think it will be great if the ft can provide some samples of the portfolio assessment for the writing component and science performance task. On my part, not only do I want to know the exam weight-age, I also want to have a rough idea what to expect and better guide my child. In this way, they don't have to 'chase' us out.

Perhaps I should bring this up to the FT again BUT... I am already very 'famous' for giving feedback. Wrote a very long email to them about the P2 H.A and am glad that the school did changes to it. :rant:

Dear MBS Parents,

Im very interested to enrol my son in this school, however, I have few concerns, would appreciate if you can enlighten me.

1) Anybody knows how can I be a member of the SBF? Just join membership by paying a fee or got to complete series of volunteer work at various temple? Im not staying within 2KM, therefore getting into phase 2B is the only chance.

2) How is the workload and stress level? If my boy is just an average child in terms of academic, will it be a struggle for him?

3) Is there any religious teaching or daily praying like those christian/catholic school? Im a buddist so it is totally fine, just curious.

4) Is this school more to academic driven or charatcer driven?

Sorry if I have asked too many questions. Thank you for your time.

My son is in P2 now. Last year, he did not attend the CNY celebration as he was not feeling well. This year, I let him attend. But I was very shocked when he told me one of the teacher told them to knee down (跪) when they bai-nian (拜年) to him. This also happened when the class representatives went up to the stage to bai-nian to the teachers, including the principal.


Can anyone share with me whether this is MBS culture? Thanks!

From what i know this is not the school culture, but it's the old traditional culture from China. I did kneel down and bai nian to my parents when i was young. I think the school is just trying to tell the pupils that it was like that many years ago. In fact, if my child was asked to kneel down to bai nian to his teacher, i think it's ok for me. Who knows my child will do that to me next year.

I heard it is the 8th time they are winning this award. Their performance was really awesome and I feel so proud of the kids. Really thankful also for the great conductor.

MMM,


Thank you for sharing the good news with us. That answer my question why the P, VPs and some of teachers were clapping hands and happily laughing away. Well Done! once again.
