I've not bought shoes. Told my DS to continue P6 shoes first and observe week 1 in school what people are wearing. As a teenager, tracks shoes should be better for them.....

World of sports, pure white mizuno track shoes, comes with optional wide width, $59. Good for classes and cca.

I think during the orientation week, new students will be shown demos of each cca. There will be trials, interviews. We will be filling up choices just like selecting sec school. And will be waiting for posting results just sec school postings. Appeal cases will start to come in after that. Sounds awfully familiar process.

Popular choices will be like wushu, badminton and other star sports. Then there are standard offerings like ncc, npcc. Shooting is interesting too.

My answer to you is, keep an open mind cos cca will follow u for years.it will be fun to explore and make ypur choices with your parents.

It is a choice both make together. Teenagers are smart and IT savvy, but wisedom comes with age and experience.

I counted on orientation day. Total 248 girls and for boys. Slight more than half. That is approx 400 pupils in 10 classes from 1A - 1J. So it is 40 per class? That's quite huge for IP?

I thought someone heard the school leaders saying during the school open house that the intake is about 350. 400 is huge consider there are less than 40,000 kids this year-smallest among all the years. Are you very sure?

[snow123]

There are total 337 pupils for 2016 intake, among which there are 126 boys & 211 girls. I counted so should be accurate. Total 10 classes, each class abt 33 or 34 pupils

I counted on orientation days. 4 rolls of 62 girls pupils so it’s 248? For boys side is 2.5 rolls so I estimate 150?
