Does the gep class do different thing from non gep class? Does the gep class take the same exam?

No and yes.

? I was in a GE class and as far as I know, we did the same things as Non GE classes as well as exams and everything. The only thing different is that GE class averages are slightly higher than non GE classes...[/quote]no to first question, yes to the second question.

Hi all- very basic question- where is the 2016 Sec 1 Booklist info?? I cannot find it online- when will the school share the info?


Usually for Pri Sch- we already have the info already…

Thanks very much!

Hi. For Y1 I think you'll get it on reporting day. You will be able to buy the books and uniforms on that day. Set aside a few hours to queue up to buy them.

Thanks Kira- orientation day must buy text books; lap top; uniforms- I think need to set aside the whole day to queue here and there… just anticipating what will happen…


How many parents actually buy the MacBook at school on orientation day??? Any discount? Otherwise can buy elsewhere

For uniforms- can buy in advance from Bibi Baba- but they are out of some items, so still need to queue up in Sch to buy…

As for text books- wonder if its the same list from year to year- so can use last year as a gauge?? Any parents selling second hand books??

Thanks.

No need to worry about lap top on the first day. More info will be given later. Settle the text books and uniform on the first day and enjoy the experience. Also do consider joining PRGS.

Parents for RGS Association (PRGS) has a booth on the 1st day. Do check it out.

I recall that they sold the uniforms and textbooks at the school after reporting day as well. Something like over the last week of Dec.


My DD is dropping Geog in Y3 so I don’t mind selling her Y1/2 textbooks but maybe check your Y1 book list first and PM me if anybody wants to buy them. The details are:

All about Geography Physical Geography Upper Secondary (Pearson) - First published 2013; First reprint 2013 $18.25
All About Geography Human Geography Upper Secondary (Pearson) - First published 2014 $17.70

I can sell them at $10 each.
