        Price same everywhere except school vendor which is cheaper by $70 thereabout. The diff is promotional bundles like ms office and credit card discounts etc. School has service counter for mac repair, but for those purchase from vendor only.

        Mac book air 2018 is super chio.

            I think most sec schools have some arrangement to provide free MS Office to their students. They will email students when sch reopens, to give instructions on how to download and install. Hence it is not necessary to buy MS Office separately. Do check with the school.

              Does RGS provide free Microsoft office in the past years ? The other day when I asked the vendor, he also said don’t buy first because often schools provide free ones.

                All I can say you can wait Long Long.
                All Microsoft office are to be license in all individual Laptop and you got to paid for it.
                In the past Policeman all wear short pants, nowadays you have to paid for it.
                There is no such free things in this society of ours. I was told by former parent who daughter study in RGS before said it was pre-loaded by vendors one.

                Good luck to you if you think the school can give it to you free.

                  Hi, can I enquire is there TKD cca in RGS? Cos there is a TKD club from Raffles Press which claimed representing RGS? Not so sure about the relation cos officially RGS does not list TKD as cca at all. TIA.


                  No TKD CCA for RGS but still can represent the sch in inter sch, sch focussing on core sports.
                  Maybe the tkd club has student that represent RGS in inter sch, but I did not see any medal winners this year from RGS.

                  Your dd interested in TKD as cca? Is she taking lessons now?

                  Judo is also no more...Wonder why martial arts CCA were all taken away.
