Sec 1 2020 batch, please note that the mentioned books will be the final year used by MOE: Chinese, Higher Chinese, History and Geography textbooks. If you buy new textbooks, you cannot resell them to Year 2021 Sec 1 batch.
Sorry to deviate, may I know if schools are having same textbooks? I have some books given by friends for sec 1.
I know English is not the same, any one got any idea if Math/ Chinese/ Geo / home economics are the same for most schools?
Thank you.
Sec 1 2020 batch will be first batch using new Maths and Science textbooks.
Maths: Think! Mathematics Secondary Textbook 1A and Think! Mathematics Secondary Textbook 1B. Publisher: Scholastic.
OR (depends on which Maths textbook Sec Sch textbook you get on the booklist.)

- different Science (under diff publisher),
- different English Literature textbook / workbook
only the Chinese textbook / workbook are common for Standard Chinese, for Higher Chinese

You can
After a long wait for PSLE results, it's another 3 weeks of anxious waiting again...
Any suggestions on how to make time go faster?
- go for a short holiday break this Christmas, either overseas (by air flight) to cold, snowing Winter wonderland, or take a cruise on board a ship to Penang/Malacca.
- get your child to attend a camp, or go \"Forest Adventure\" obstacle course, or go Pulau Ubin cycling eat seafood, or go Big Waterfall in JB or go snorkelling, see beautiful colourful sea creatures swimming under water, or go River Safari
But, pls Don't go Mount Kinabalu mountain climbing, remind us of 2015 Sabah tragedy, 4 years ago. The pain lingered on

- go National library, read up storybooks
- get your child to prepare for Chinese entrance test, if his (her) Secondary school offer HCL to Sec 1 students by passing the test, who were not offered HCL Eligible letter by MOE
- etc -
Don’t forget Year-end is rainy season & monsoon. Be careful to consider avoid activities that exposes one to choppy sea waters or open sky & lightning.
There are lots of fun sport activities as well as learning skills & develop new interests indoors. Short trip to nearby countries or as far as Thailand, Vietnam or even Perth still possible, but last minute flights can be costlier. -
Actually, 3 weeks very fast will be over soon.
Just like after the last psle paper on 2 Oct. Today is 30, last day of Nov. Tomorrow is 1 Dec :
2 months had already gone past, swiftly !
Soon, school open, Sec 1 start -
