May I know if we are able to purchase altogether the new Sec 1 books, Uniforms and PE attires at RI school on a single day? Uniform and PE attires are 2 different suppliers?!


The website stated delivery preferred but we also need to measure and have samples sizes to compare with the boy’s body measurements, right?

Anyone has prior experience to share? Many tks!

Thank you ashomech for sharing the link!

Should be possible. The 2 suppliers selling PE attires and uniforms respectively are located next to each other in the same room but go in through different door. Textbooks are sold in the school bookshop next door but when I went on Monday, bookshop ladies mentioned that they cannot sell to non-DSA students yet in case of any changes in booklists. From the notification posted by RI, bookshop is opened from 22 Dec, 26 Dec-29Dec for Sec1 posting students. Uniforms sale will be available too. So I believed yes, you can get all on the same day but have to q to measure and try uniforms repeat again for PE attire.

Hi all,


I saw the year 1 booklist, must I get all the Higher Chinese books AND Normal Chinese books? I tot the boys are all doing HCL? For my boy’s pri sch, doing HCL don’t need normal Chinese books?
And for the math textbooks, do we also buy the sec 2 math textbooks? Or just the sec 1?

In short, do I purchase ALL of the textbooks listed, eg sec 1 & 2 math textbooks, O level sciences textbooks and the HCL + CL textbooks plus workbooks?

For uniform, I assume lower sec boys wear white shorts hor, not long pants?

Think min 3 sets of uniforms and 3 sets of PE attire sets + 1 black polo shirt enough, if joining Sports cca? Will they need to go back on Saturdays too?

If I purchase the books for self collection at RI, also need 5-7 working days In for order to be ready as stated on the Casco website?
Is it better I just walk in at RI and purchase all books+uniforms altogether on 1 day?

But also read that security guard need to see you booking confirmation before they allow you into the school? So meaning can’t walk in?


Sorry about the long qns, Newbie here
Anyone can advise pls ?

Either HCL or CL textbooks depending on what your son is taking.

And for the math textbooks, do we also buy the sec 2 math textbooks? Or just the sec 1?

We didnt buy any. School's notes and practice papers are more than enough. Cant even finish

In short, do I purchase ALL of the textbooks listed, eg sec 1 & 2 math textbooks, O level sciences textbooks and the HCL + CL textbooks plus workbooks?

We buy only HCL books and Literature only.

For uniform, I assume lower sec boys wear white shorts hor, not long pants?

White shorts for year 1 and 2

Think min 3 sets of uniforms and 3 sets of PE attire sets + 1 black polo shirt enough, if joining Sports cca? Will they need to go back on Saturdays too?

3 sets are more than enough. you need to buy polo shirt and house tshirt as well. cca tshirt will only come after you join the cca.

If I purchase the books for self collection at RI, also need 5-7 working days In for order to be ready as stated on the Casco website?

Can buy all in one day

But also read that security guard need to see you booking confirmation before they allow you into the school? So meaning can't walk in?

No idea about that.
