Can anyone advise how many sets of uniform and PE attire we should purchase? Are they allowed to wear track shoes or only school shoes allowed? TIA.

​Mon-Thur: Uniform
Fri:​ Black Polo T with uniform pant
PE t shirt/shorts: 2 days per week, bring to school to change


Buy more school crest, easily misplaced. (3 piece perhaps)
Tie-hardly wear, so 1 is enough

There will be a 2N camp, at the start of sch...need about 3/4 PE t shirt

So i believed I bought 3 set of PE , 3 sets of uniform, 1 Polo.
Some also hv jackets, cos classroom are air conditioned.

Later on, when school start, they will be made known of house. Only then buy house t shirt.

Some months the PE lesson also coupled with swiming.

Shoes: >70% white required, so I just bought pure white track shoes.

Some other info:
No shuttle bus to MOELC for 3rd lang.
So would be good if you use a weekend, to trial run with your child how to get there.

1 badge and 1 tie will be given by school. Primary school pe is allowed for orientation camp. RI jacket is not compulsory, home jacket is allowed in class. Socks are not compulsory either, white socks will do. RI socks are long and thick, quite some students wear their own.
Seniors will show them around during orientation in bishan, including MOELC. But better explore with parents

Need to buy RI socks? I have a lot of white socks at home

I brought my DS to orientate him the way to school on public transport and went to RI bookstore today. The bookshop “auntie” there quite fierce, I talked to her also scared. Managed to buy 3 sets of PE T-shirts and shorts plus 1 polo T. Paid for the Year1 books as well but collection is tmr (hopefully shorter queue). Bookstore closes at 3pm. Total damage today is $300+ :moneyflies:

Hi Mamamiya

Why the bookshop lady so fierce? I'm helping out my sis as a proxy as they are still overseas. Can we buy some of the books only? We have some hand me downs. Not sure if the editions are outdated. Can you share the booklist? I dont think I'll have enough time to queue tomorrow. Thanks.
