have any received any information abt the P1 orientation ? When i registered my gal during th P1 registration, i think the orientation date was set for Nov 20........

Hi Shandee, they've sent out a letter which includes the info on the orientation day, the book list etc. If you haven't received it, maybe you should give them a call.

Hello,


My name is Lily and i’m new in this forum. I have a son in RVPS now he is in P5 and next year P6. My 2nd son joining him next year and he will be in P1. I hope to know more mothers up there so in future we can discuss any topic.


Thanks
Lily

Hi Lily,


Welcome to KSP!

My DD is also going to P1 there next year, wondering if she’ll be in the same class as your DS2.

How does your DS1 like the school? Is it true that the school pushes its students very hard?

Hi lilytan and minine2004


Nice to see both of you here. My DD will be moving to P2 next year.

lilytan…since your DS1 had just finished his P5, how would you rate the school in terms of academic demands (ie. do you think that the school had high expectations of the students)

Hi, i’m wondering if it’s cheaper to order the books from the school or buy from other bookshops like popular? Thanks!

What I’ve done last year is to buy from Popular. Cant remember if there is discount with the Popular card but prices are slightly cheaper. In addition, you can choose whatever stationeries you want to buy rather than the "fixed" brands that the bookshop uses. The advantage is you can get your books earlier as I remembered we will told to order from the school bookshop first and get the books only later. However, Popular may not have all the books under the same stall. So you may end up running up and down hunting for them.

Thx raynreg! I guess I’ll buy from popular then

You need to get the book list from the school admin if possible. The bookshop was not willing to give out the book list last year (probably commerical reasons i guess).
