[quote=\"GiftedGem\"]Eye opener indeed. Sec 1 text books for $600 ....

Is there Nets available in the bookstore?

I think IP schools donch have that many textbook. Perhaps you should check with the laojiao RGS parents

Yeah... will check with those experienced parents...
First in my mind ... Looking for 25hr mama... are u there? Her DD1 in that sch now.[/quote]Hi GiftedGem, after seeing your post, I ran through my box file to check the receipt, the total purchase was $276.65. This include things like textbooks, stationery, art materials (stated as compulsory items). Books like Chemistry & Physics are for 'O' Levels, which I guess are meant to last till Year 4. We did not buy optional item such as dictionary & calculator (dd still using her P6 calculator), & dun worry abt not bringing enough cash, u can pay by credit card.

As for uniform, u need to buy tie, pinafore, white blouse, T-shirts, shorts & culottes. As for how many sets are required, that really depends on your dd's usage & your laundry routine. In my dd's case, I bought more shorts for her, as she has the habit of wearing her schools shorts everyday.

On that same day, u would need another $80(cash), if u r interested to join the Parents of RGS Association Membership. Hope I did not miss out anything.

I am surprised that PSLE results may be released between 21-24 Nov. I remembered in the past, its always on a Thur which means 20 Nov.

GiftedGem, just to add on to what 25hr mama has said - Buy your dd's school uniform at BiBi & Baba earlier. No need to join the queue in school on reporting day. Also, booklist for Year 1 is the longest. Subsequent years there are very few books purchased, if at all.

Also on reporting day, you will find out whether your child is successful in getting her third lang choice. Sign-up for transport service is also on reporting day if I remember correctly.
