Can anyone advise for the last 3 yrs... I noticed that MS Phase 2B didnt go thru balloting, was it bcoz


a) Number of applicants (Both within 1km & out of the 1km) were quite the same as the number of seats?

0r

b) Number of applicants Staying within the 1Km was just enough to take up the number of seats?

Ermm... So was there no balloting due to (a) or (b)?

Hello everyone!

We missed the P1 orientation, so I'm hoping to get the following information from the new MS parents here:
- where do the kids go on arrival? (I know we can probably see where everyone is when we reach the school, but we may have to arrive and leave early since we have to send DD to her school too.)
- can parents be around the first few days of school?
- since the kids will not go to the canteen, can we go to their classrooms at recess?

Thanks in advance

Btw, anyone's son going to 1D?

Hi Tinkle Belle


That’s strange, maybe they have changed the system this year. Did you friend’s son go for the entrance exam too? Don’t think the result is out so soon, why not you give the office a call?

This is what I know...


Interviews were called for. Suspect those who went for interview are more or less guaranteed a place unless they screw up the interview. 2 of my friends' children are accepted right on the spot. Interviews are taking place these 2 days with the VP (yesterday and today).

Hi,


I’m enquiring on behalf of a friend. Does any parent with kids at MSH know if the school has a taff club? Does the school single out those P1 kids who are obese for extra physical training sessions? My friend, who has a chubby son who will be starting P1 next year is very concerned. Thanks.

Hi Sotong.mum,

#1: I believe there will be prefects and teachers near the main office to guide the P1 students on Day1.
#2 & #3: Yeap, they allow parents to hang around the school for first 2 days. They will organize talks for parents while the boys are in the class. Parents can join the boys during recess time.

They also advised parents who intend to stay in school to use public transport since there are limited car parks.

My boy will be in 1I.
