Thanks radiantmum for your reply!


May I also ask a few more qns about the sch uniform. I was wondering if 3 sets of sch uniform and 3 sets of PE attire will be enough.
How many PE lessons are there for p1 and are they allowed to wear PE attire the whole day on PE days?

Also, is it compulsory to buy the school black socks with school name on it.?

Thank you so much again !

Mine survive comfortably with 3 sets of school uniform and 2 sets of PE attire :lol:. Minimum 2 sets of PE attires as they are required to wear them on PE day and Fitness Friday day. PE lesson once every week and yes, the students are required to wear PE attire throughout on PE day (which varies from class) & every Friday.


For socks, I bought mine with school name on it 'cos I am too lazy to find alternative outside. Honestly easier for find white socks then black socks for kids. Don't know of any parents that were being called up 'cos their socks did not have the school name though - YET :lol:

However I would advise you to make sure that the shoes are canvas (with holes) before buying. I learnt my mistake only when mine came home smelling worse than salted fish. Thrown the old pair away after 1st week of use.

Now I AM grouchy. I told my kid that first 3 in class will have prizes. My mistake - should have checked and not assumed! Now he's so sad that he will not be able to get a prize. Endeavour only awards to the 1st in class. So much for encouragement, duh !

Maybe you can give him something more than he had wanted as a form of recognition from his parents? At the end of the day, kids want recognition and acceptance from their parents, right? One moment of glory receiving prize on stage cannot be compared to the love, praise and recognition from parents.

Thank you so much radiantmum for your information and advises!

Can I check with all of you, if we get the books from popular bookstore instead of pacific bookstore, will it be the same versions and pricewise the same?


Also, i just realised after looking through the booklist that for chinese, all the textbooks are higher chinese. Does this means that from P1 onwards, all the kids will be studying higher chinese regardless of their mandarin standards? Thanks, would appreciate any replies.

I did my comparison last year - yes, list price the same. However Popular has further discounts if you are Popular member and has freebies. Same book versions - no issue. Downside is Popular may not have all the books in the book list and of course, those items with school names. They do not have those books with publsiher listed as Teachers’ Production. It means that you will need to buy from 2 different sources to save approx $5.


Endeavour has Higher Chinese for P1s onwards. Was told that there will be further streaming later on i.e. I suppose those whom are weaker in Chinese can choose or will be recommended to be on Normal Chinese.

Hope that helps!
