sissy school. those days, mount vernon and bartley boys trade blows while mshs boys hide.
is mshs still a rich man's school?
mount vernon? you mean that pre uni school or whatever? the only neighbourhood school other than bartley near to mshs is upper aljunied and come on it's a sap school where studies and sports come first and the school does have it's fair share of pai kias too if not how would the grades fall? these no name neighbourhood schools like to boast how 'tough' they are cos they dont mind dropping out or going to normal stream
the pre-u along bartley road in the 80s and early 90s were outram institute and bartley secondary who also conduct 3 yrs pre-u classes. there were 3 secondary schools along bartley road, bartley secondary school, mount vernon secondary school and maria stella high school.

MSHS is considered one of those elite schools in the 80's, along with the other 8 SAP schools,
Raffles insitution and victoria secondary school.
You need a PSLE total agregate score of at least 250 and above to qualify for enrolment.
Which means you need to get at least 2 distinction and 2As in the four major subject,
english, chinese, mathematics and science.
it is no surprise all the young PAP candidiates happen to studied in these schools,
probably due to their connections with the young and successful.
Though the doctor is from humble background, he is still from the elite stock with elite mentality.

Former principal found guilty of embezzling school funds

The former principal of Maris Stella High School has been found guilty of misappropriating S$67,700 from the school's chapel building fund account between March and September 2009.
SINGAPORE: The former principal of Maris Stella High School has been found guilty of misappropriating S$67,700 from the school's chapel building fund account between March and September 2009.
66-year-old Anthony Tan Kim Hock, who retired in 2009, had initially faced 21 charges of criminal breach of trust between May 2004 and September 2009 that amounted to S$150,000.
But the prosecution proceeded only on one count involving the misappropriation of S$67,700.
After a 10-day trial, Tan was convicted of using the money from the school's chapel building fund to do rebuilding and renovation works for the Champagnat House in Flower Road.
The Champagnat House is the residence of the Marist Brothers, a religious order which Tan belongs to.
Work began on the house in February 2008 and ended in May 2009.
Tan was not directly supervising the project but bills for some of the works such as stained glass and granite cladding (which involved the adhering of stones to the walls of a building) were sent to him.
In a 92-page grounds for decision, District Judge Soh Tze Bian listed his reasons for convicting Tan.
He said the prosecution had "provided overwhelming basis" for the the court to infer dishonesty on the part of Tan at the time of his payments for three items for the Champagnat House from the school's chapel building fund.
The judge added that the defence had failed to challenge many aspects of the material evidence introduced by the prosecution.
These include how certain funding events were organised as well as the "incredulity of the accused person's defence and his evasiveness".
The judge said the defence had failed to support many of the factual assertions it had made.
Thus, Judge Soh said he could not accept the defence's submissions that Tan was not dishonest in his conduct but was merely mistaken as to the extent of his authority and discretion in managing the affairs of the school.
He also did not buy into the defence's point that Tan did not have any intention to acquire any wrongful gain for himself or cause any loss to the school.
Tan will be sentenced on 28 June.
