I''ve seen some students wearing a different PE Singlet. Theres two different singlet now, one is with the dark blue close to black rim, there's another one with the blue rims.

Who can wear the blue rim singlet? Why is there such a difference?

I think it's just the printing process. I've singlets that are lighter in the blue shades, while some are darker. Perhaps one reason is that after washing, the blue part fades off. I don't think that's any difference, unless the system had changed

Understand that previously, Maris Stella has Golf as one of their CCAs but I think from 2013 onwards, this CCA was not offered. Anyone know the reasons? Thanks.

According to the principal, the school is emphasizing more on team-based CCAs to help the students bond. Golf is not a team-based CCA which is why it was cancelled.

Because i've just visited the Shanghai School Uniforms at Bras Basah and there were obviously two different colour of singlets, asked the auntie there but she couldn't give me a answer.[/quote]It could be that the lower sec wears the lighter coloured ones, and the upper sec wears the darker ones.

Can I check with any of you whether I am correct that for sec1, History will start from term 3 and Geograohy syllabus will finish end term 2? Also to ask will there be SA2- year end exam, for Geography? If yes, which will mean DS has to revise Geography again after no more lessons for 3rd to 4th term?

Oppa, how was the sessions with the teachers? Anything to share, esp in relation to the CT1?

I thought the session with FT on DS progress was a very good initiative. It provides good insight on how DS is doing in class.


The FT feedback that his result is not good (obviously ). Shared that it is common for some students to get use to the transition from primary to secondary. I had decided to put DS back into tuition to help him catch up. Had a good session with DS on how to improve his studies.

The FT also inform me that they will have similar session for term 2 henceforth. At leasat the school make an effort to communicate with parents. I like this idea.

Thanks Oppa for sharing. I didn’t go for the PTM, saving my leave for the 2nd round :-). Instead I dropped a brief note to the FT. I thought first term is not a very good indication, both results and performance wise. DS is getting his engine started after the long hoildays plus the new requirments that DS has to adapt to.


I am also looking for eng writing class for my DS. Any good recommendation for tuition center specialized in writing skills / essays for secondary level?
