Hi all,
Sorry for not dropping by for so long. Finally the boys have finished their sa2 and now enjoying their time at school as well as at home. Parents also take a break now.
Time sure flies and there are only two weeks left before the school term ends. Hehe can’t wait for holiday to come so I can catch some sleep. For 2014 p1 parents, now is about time for the kindergarten graduation. Must be an exciting time of your life. Hope all go well and your kids are all looking forward to coming to TGPS next year.
During the orientation, you can purchase uniforms, shoes and may be books. The school bus vendor will be around too so you can make enquiry if you are interested. If you want to purchase textbooks, do remember to bring a trolley cause they can be heavy. I often wait until the last few weeks of December before making my purchase. There are less people queuing up that time :-). -
From the orientation I heard that the PE t-shirt design is going to be changed?
We only bought the uniforms and PE shorts so far together with books and name tags.
I notice they have a lot of heavy files to be bought. -
Yes, the PE shirt will be changed to the dri-fit type. But I think only available in first day of school. But PE lesson won’t start the first week normally.
As for the files, it is used to keep their worksheets. The files are normally kept in the school. Students will only bring the files home just before each term test for them to revise at home. So on a normal day, the P1 kids’ school bags are quite light. -
Dri fit.That’s good to hear.
I like that the p1 classrooms are mainly on 1st and 2nd floor too.
Good to know about the bags.I’m looking for a school bag and realised the ergonomic bags are huge and heavy. -

My boys been using ergonomic bags since P1. So far, they did not complain about the weight. Though ergo bags are heavier, good ergo bags should distribute weight evenly and give better support to the back. I find ergonomic bags more lasting. DS1 uses his bag for three years and still in good condition. It will definitely last another year or two :-).
As for trolley bag, the problem is when the children move to P2 when the classrooms are on the second level. It is harder for the young kids to carry the trolley bags up the stair. I think they also assembly at the hall which is on the second floor every Monday. So they have to carry the bags up the stair once a week. That is the main reason I did not get trolley bags for my boys.
May be you can bring your child together when going for bag shopping. May be bring some of the text books along so you can test out the weight as well. Happy shopping :-). -
Yeah happy to hear about dri fit too… just that will not be buying these new ones yet as want to fully utilise the current cotton ones…
Also very happy there was no year end class ranking for P1 so no stress… many school still practising top 3 in class prizes…
But I do notice the test paper standard has been raised so no longer the mentality of letting many pupils get full marks.
In fact, all test papers got "standard" and really all schools are good school…
