Heyo:

Thank toonarmy,


I told my mum I want the lightest MacBook. So was planning to look at MacBook Air.

Temporary name tag? Then how do we make extra? Have to go outside and make or make in school? If is in school, where do I go to?

School will provide the temporary name tag and also the name tag.
I think the actual name tag was given after your orientation to you by your form teacher.
If you need extra name tag, you can order from book shop.

This year did Maris offer only MacBook Air only and not MacBook Pro?
MacBook Air will be enough. Lighter and longer battery life.

Thank for your help! I will go ask around when school starts then. The school is so big! I guess I will be lost on the first day.

I was looking at the booklist to prepare online purchase, when I realized there’s no books for Science? (Sec 1, 2016)


The school dont use any Science Txt book at all?

Correct. No text book. Notes will be given by school.

Thanks ToonArmy.


Are you a student there right now? Old boy? Or a parent?

Anyone knows when will the class allocation be informed to us?

I am a parent.
Last year class allocation was released on 30 Dec ( if remember correctly).

Do you have the link for ordering MacBook bundle?
Are you offered office for Mac 2016?

Yes. My son will be in sec 2.
MSHS is the school of his choice. He seems enjoying there.

Hi got few questions on MacBook


1. School flyers only highlight MacBook Air from either Newstead or Sapura - any advice which vendor is better?

2. MacBook Pro is not mentioned - is it because it is discouraged and why?

3. The pricing is higher than outside eg Challenger - any reason?

Thanks n cheers

1. Previously only Sapura available. Didn't know Newstead is in educational MAC too. Newstead is newly added for the first time.
2. MacBook Air is lighter, longer battery life and good enough for school work. You can check with the vendor to get a quote for MBP if you want.
He didn't want MBP due to weight (~200g more than MBA). His MBA was customized to 8gb ram via Sapura.
3. If you get from outside like challenger or Apple Store educational price, you will still need to pay the vendor (was $190 previously) for installation, network configuration to school requirement and usage of school campus support. So work out to almost same price from school vendor.
