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.

I was told the same by the school vendor.

There is a certain degree of correctness by the school vendor. PM-ed you 2019mama.

Hi everyone....so glad to find this forum....went.to school yesterday to purchase books and uniform for my gals as we missed the reporting day. I couldn’t find the MacBook vendor. How do I find out what is offered? Does vendor have shop elsewhere?


Also the bookshop gave us a big bundle for sec 1....when we came home and checked the geography book says upper secondary....it’s the wrong one right?

:thankyou:

Here's the link to the new MacBook vendor

The upper sec Geography books are correct, as per the Year 1 booklist.

I get the reply that MS Office is not mandatory to purchase. Student can use Google Docs for Office document. School will not provide the MS Office too.

So that will clarify everything.

Regards the 04Jan’s night event, anybody know if girls need to stay back till 8pm, or it is just purely a school-parent event?

For girls staying in sk / punggol, has the sch bus vendor contacted you? What is your pickup time?

The school does not provide MS Office, but you can try using your dd’s RGS email to register for a free MS Office educational license. May not need to buy one separately. I am hesitant to post this publicly because I have not personally verified this, but some parents had shared that it had worked for them, so RGS parents, you can try to see if it works for you too.

According to tradition, there will be a RGS initiation ceremony in the evening of the last day of orientation, likely the 4 Jan 8pm night event you are referring to. The girls will also be passing on the \"flame\" with candles, and parents are invited to join in too. An awesome and touching experience I would say, enjoy!
