[quote=\"plum-cake\"]FYI :!:

received the letter from RS Transport for renewal. it says school bus fee likely to rise by 20% next yr......

received the renewal letter too...we are at their mercy….

Can I know how many students do they take per bus? Is it because of the rise in petrol and the seat belts that is why they have increase in their fee?[/quote]It's a 18-seater bus. Have been talking abt installation of seat belt 2 years ago, now still due to seat belts? I really wonder, arent they using the same bus or they have to change belts every year?? :?

Hi
Sharmum, what do you mean by that? are they classify according to the students' marks/ banding? if yes, then at which level they are starting? Is it at p2?

They are banding.... got the report card today.( details are in the student diary page 16)

And also the book list. good thing is you can order through the web.

Hi plum-cake,


P1 Grace FT informed via email today that booklist will be distributed on Tuesday 17 Nov

Thanks, I got it.... today I went to school to pick her up.
went to pacific bookshop @ school and the books are not yet ready . not enough stock for some books. delivery charge is only 7.80 so I think I can go for web order......

Is your daughter in P2 Grace next yr?

Just got the P2 booklist. Is it necessary to get the optional books? What are they for? Does the teacher use them in class or ask the girls to use them at home? The option is CLIPS Supplementary Readers Vol 2 Set A (Bk 1-10).


Does anyone know why the English Reading Comprehension Booklet is only Booklet 1 & 4? How about 2 & 3?

Does anyone know why we need to buy blue mechanical pencil and blue colour leads?

Is it better to pre-order? I was thinking of doing the walk-in purchase. Can anyone advise from experience whether there were still books available on the walk-in purchase day?

Thanks! Can stop doing this -- :stupid: -- when I get some solid answers
