[quote]Thanks for the welcome... btw any idea wat time the office is open? Is it opened on Saturday?[/quote]
I think during school holidays, the general office is opened from 9.00am - 5.00pm Monday to Friday. As for Saturday, I am not too sure - maybe you can give them a call 1st.

[quote]btw good news bout the PSLE is very nice to hear :celebrate:[/quote]
Yes, I am happy for the school and the P6s. Heard a lot of comments that this year PSLE papers are tough and am so glad that CPS P6s done well :congrats:

I strongly believe besides the students' hard work, the teachers also put in a lot of effort to coach & guide them. Kudos to the teachers in CPS too!

tjm:

but generally most pri sch kids in Sg have bags that are way too heavy for their own good. even those schs with lockers, my friends say their kids still like to bring all the books to sch and back. like sometimes there is a lot of HW or sth.


that is not a good thing of course, but once again, seems like an inevitable evil.

Well, it could be worse. Back home, my niece comes back from school with no homework. What little they give her, she finishes at school. At least here, kids are getting an education.

If only there was a middle ground right? But I think it's a bit easier for a parent to help bring balance than to try and fill education gaps. Emphasize to try their best and not worry about getting things wrong, because it's when you make mistakes that you truly learn.

Oh no… I just bought school uniforms. It was such a zoo in the cafeteria at orientation that I didn’t get a chance to really compare the different sizes, so I picked up one and thought, "This looks like it might fit right."


Well, it didn’t. All the uniforms I bought are too big. I don’t suppose they will do an exchange?

Where else can buy the uniform? I couldnt attend the orientation hence will be buying it today or next week…[/quote]


If I am not wrong, the school uniform selling dates are the same as the school textbooks. I was in the school on Monday and the seller for the school uniforms and P.E. attires was there. You can call up the general office and they will be able to give you the gentleman’s hp no. who is selling the uniform.

The place where he sells the uniforms / P.E. attire is located at one of the corner classroom at level 1. When you walked pass the guard post, you will be able to see the Dentist’s clinc on your left. From there you turn left and walk to the end of the corridor and you will see it.

Hope this helps; cheers!

Agrees...the books + stationery all pack together are very heavy. I bring one big XL re-cycle bag with me and still DD has to carry the exercise books etc. (lighter stuff) in another plastic bag.

Oh yes, I realise they only pack the books in \"a nice recycle bag\" for P1 students and from P2 onwards, you have to bring your own re-cycle bags else you have to carry them in the red \"market plastic bag\" :lol:. DD was smart this year to remind me to bring my own re-cycle bag
