      The booklist is up on http://www.pacificbookstore.com. You can order it online and have it delivered or collect it in person.



      As for uniforms, the one at Coronation Plaza does not sell T-shirts and shorts.

      Cheers! :celebrate:

        PE shirts and shorts are sold at the MGS book shop. You can pick it up when you get your books.

          I bought the uniforms, PE T-shirts and shorts from Bibi and Baba, as I did not want to have the hassle of trying on the sample uniforms for my daughter along with many other parents at the school during the orientation day.


          See you all of 14 Nov! 😎

            Dear all


            My eldest daughter got in to MGS too. I managed to get her into MGS using my church letter and plus I am staying within 1km from the school.

            This sat 14 Nov 09 is the P1 orientation day. Wow, I think I am more excited than my daughter.

            Times really flies…

              came back from today’s orientation! maybe because this is our first time, still many confusions.


              other parents, how do you feel?

              Could any one enlighten me how to find out costs of the CCA activities? It looks that my friend told me was true that most of CCAs require payments. But I don’t know how much. We’d like to take a number of them if possible, just to find out our girl’s interests and strengths before she chooses to focus on something.

              And have you opened the Edusave account? Just go to any bank like OCBC or Posb to open one and government will credit money there for us to pay a bit of CCA fees? -))

                Need to go and 'open' edusave account? I don't think so. We already filled up a form and handed in on orientation day right? Think the school will process it.

                CCA...will be affordable though we don't know the actual cost. My gal's form teacher recommended 1 CCA for a start. 2 is ok...but more than that...not advisable. Teacher added that...coz most kids these days have other enrichment courses outside school hours...so the rule of the thumb is not to tire the gals out....i agree

                btw...which class your gal's going?

                  I confirmed with my friend that we do not need to open a separate Edusave acct with any bank - MOE takes care of that.


                  As for CCAs, better to access what your daughter’s interests are and if she has the time to spare and commit to the CCA. Mine is interested in dancing and we may choose Modern Tap Dance.

                  My main concern is that the expenses at the school are high - school uniforms, books, misc stuff already amounted to >$500! The amusing thing is that the car decal has to be paid every year!!!

                    I thought it's the same for all schools, isn't it?

                        Nope, it's FREE for quite a number of schools. It's usually used as an indication that you are a parent of a student in their school, so they'll let you drive into the school compound to pick your kids up.

                        This is the first time I'm hearing that you need to pay for the car decal, unless they are doing it to cover cost or part of a fund raising project?
