Hi all,


My boy was born in 2005, so it may still be early for me to ask, but I need to find out more in advance as I am not familiar with primary education here.

My husband studied in Maris Stella, so I think our boy is in 2A2 category. However, we haven’t decided whether to put him in an all boy or a mixed school. My husband who studied in boy schools for primary and secondary is relunctant in sending the kids to boy schools. He said it was boring with all boys in school and he didn’t know how to behave in the company of girls later on.

Is this even an issue with the parents who send their boys to Maris Stella? Should I be concerned about this? My ds is saying he wants to study with both boys and girls… He gets along with girls quite well now, but I don’t know if this will still be true when he gets a bit older.

My other options are volunteering at Ai Tong > 2km, and Kuo Chuan <1km. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

School Tie - how often or when do the boys need to put the tie on?


Recess Time - I found out that the Recess Time is incredibly late at 10.45am? How am I going to feed my son so well at 6am - 6.15am that could last him till 10.45am? Even if I can wake up early & prepare a good breakfast, I wonder how much can he stomach at that early hour to last till 10.45am? I feel heartpain as they are only 6 - 7 year olds with small stomachs. If I am not wrong, most other schools’ Recess Times are between 9.30am - 10am for P1s.

hi Honey,
school ties are required every Monday except if the kids have PE that day.

Hi for those you have daughters as well, is it hard to manage in sending the children to different schools? I have a daughter and son so some people tell me that it’s easier to send them to the same school rather than separate. their age gap is 3 years. thanks for your feedback!

Of course it would b easier to send both kids to the same sch. It is just a personal choice on where U prefer to settle your kids. Whether u prefer co-ed over single sex, and the distance of the sch to your house. In terms of managing the situation, it all boils down to time management.

I also have a gal, so most likely I will b sending her to PLMGS.

I also be likely to send my girl to PLMGS if my son goes to Maris Stella!! looks like both of us stay around the same area. me in Kovan

I have children studying in different sch. Both have different time schedule for their CCA ,supplementary classes, sports day etc. When there r CNY celebration, children day celebration etc, most sch dismiss @ around the same time, that is when u need to decide who to pick up first.Even their Exam time slot n starts of sch holidays r different.


So unless yr time mgt r gd, if not prepare to stay hectic n get tired...
