Hi Pepooh,

you have to mail in the order by 26 Nov which can be collected on 10 Dec. Name tags need 2 weeks to process.

I just received the letter regarding the uniform, books and transport... Luckily all not done together on the day of orientation *phew*

Noticed a few changes this year. The uniform vendor and sch bus vendors are not going to the sch during orientation day this year??
Last year, the uniform vendor was there even though the P1s wore uniforms to sch for orientation. :scratchhead: Maybe for last minute purchases. Sch bus vendors were also there to facilitate arrangement and payment.

I would have thought that it would be more convenient for parents to buy uniforms and arrange for sch buses during orientation. No need to make another trip to the uniform shop at Lor 1, especially if the kids need to try the uniforms on. However, with all payments to be made in 1 day, :moneyflies:

Don't the P1 need to pay $60 cash for gymnastics fees? If the sch waive the gym fees, then you guys are so lucky.

Is it possible to get the textbooks from Popular Bookstores?

You can buy textbooks from Popular but do ensure it's the right edition as stated in the booklist. For Popular members, there'll be a 5% discount on textbooks.
However, all exercise books with sch crest and the Helpmate (sch diary) are compulsory and must be bought at the sch bookshop. Helpmates are usually not published till late Dec. For the past few years, it had only been available when sch reopens.

hey ladies...heard from a friend that MC is really inaccessible....coz bus stop is kinda far from the sch (bus 54) is it true? i haven't been to MC....but i know bus 54 stops there rite..... in case mother needs to go to sch sometimes...

Bus 54 does ply Marymount Rd. Bus stop is less than 5 mins walk from the sch. Although the bus stop opposite the sch (heading towards Bishan Interchange) requires more effort to climb the over-head bridge. Many upper pri sch gals take this bus service to Junction 8 and Marymount MRT station. Quite accessible.

Compassion - A
Integrity - B
Perseverance - C
Gratitude - D
Responsibility - E
Respect - F

Wondering why P3 only up to from 3A to 3F, more students in one class?

Hi autumn82, perhaps we stay in the same district. I've received the letter as well. Will u b ordering uniforms by post? I think we'll go down to look at the sizes.

I'll be heading down for the uniforms, then books will order online. I'm in Sembawang? U too?
