Hi,


Anyone know what the SOP is if the child only takes 3 subjects? My son has exemption from MT. All this T-score calculations is beyond me so would really appreciate if someone can help me with it pls?

If we estimate his marks to be 75-80 for each of the 3 subjects?

Thanks.

The total of 4 numbers P, Q, R,and S was 291.

When P was tripled, Q was halved, R was increased by 20 and S was decreased by 25, the four numbers became equal.
Find the value of R. :?

This is a backwards problem..

Assume at the end, each number became 3u.

Then at the beginning:

P = 3u/3 = u
Q = 3u x 2 = 6u
R = 3u - 20
S = 3u + 25

u+6u+3u-20 + 3u + 25 = 291

13u = 286--->u =22

R = 3u - 20 = 46

HTH.

Got it thanks!

Sounds like a good idea to rally for the reopening of our sec sch but I guess with only 2 classes per sec level, MOE might not think it's viable to run the sch. :moneyflies:

Well, they can always start the Sec Sch on a new campus and run it like any other sch. Of course being govt-aided, that means we'll all be getting lots of memos for donations and fund raisers! And if they make room for the sec sch within the current campus, it'll mean less room for the pri. But I guess that's for MOE and the school to deal with if it ever comes to that.

Hi Tinkerbelle,


Do you know when and why did MCS stop their sec school intake? :?
Otherwise our dd would be able to enjoy the benefits of affiliation.

Hi,

I'm actually an \"old girl\" - gosh that sounds awful! Anyway, I was there 10yrs - Pri through Sec. All levels shared the same building and it was really nice. They closed the sec levels when they tore down the old building 10+ yrs ago. Sad.

We were so small there were only 2 classes per sec level. But that meant that practically everyone knew everyone or at least almost everyone's names. And yes, we've churned out many eloquent speakers like Jean Danker and Margaret Lim and also many other successful women.

10yrs ago I organised our 10th Yr Reunion at the new sch building where your girls are now. It was nice to see the school upgraded to cater to the needs of the girls now but I think most of us missed our cosy old school. Can't believe I'm in the midst of planning our 20th (!) Yr Reunion next month! I can still remember my time in sch vividly, hard to believe that most of us are mums now (some even with daughters back in MCS). One thing for sure, none of our parents were as \"ON\" as you guys! Maybe you should rally for the reopening of the sec sch! I think many \"old girls\" like myself would be more than happy to back such a petition!

Anyway, all the best to you and your girls from an \"old girl\"! :rahrah:

Just read your stuff on notti corner and, hey, have you ever thot of writing novels? You have a potentially budding career there!


Here's a belated :welcome: !!!

Haha, thanks. Yes was just replying to tankee that it has been something I have been sitting on. Just never took the time to see it through what with kids and work and everything else. But definitely something I would like to do. Glad everyone's enjoying that little bit of R & R!


Thanks again to all for the welcome! :celebrate:

Hi there, welcome to Singapore! I run a home based playgroup class in Hougang, just off Yio Chu Kang Rd. Group size is small so my attention on each kid is better. Have a look at my blog and give me a call if you're interested to know more or would like to pop over for a look.

Boys, boys! Tsk, tsk...TMI!!! Lol...thought this was a discussion abt tattoos...how'd it become moon talk? :roll:

Chengg I’m not sure what the charges are now but I think you can use baby bonus (my time no baby bonus!). Give the principal Mrs Lee a call - 67522345. Or pop by to see her. Its at Blk 102, next to the Chong Pang CC, level 4. I’ll be in the area tmr, if I can get more info will let you know.

Zack, you’re right that tattoos are personal. Whether done in a place that is visible to all or hidden. And yes I do remember those tattoos from childhood and you know what? I hated them and refused to ever put it on! Lol so yeah I really don’t think temp tattoos are gonna be the a big influence on future views on tattoos. At the international schools where I used to teach, during fairs and open days, we’d have a ‘tattoo’ counter with temp tattoos and airbrush tattoos alongside the face painting counter. Both are always a huge hit with kids and parents alike! I don’t think that ALL the kids will be lining up at tattoo shops to get perm tattoos when they’re older the way they were lining up for it in sch!
