      For RV, need at least B4 for HCL and language arts to promote from year 4 to year 5.

      Is the B4 for HCL based on school exam or O level result ?

        Yes, my son’s school bus is v heavy. He has given up and kept the eng dict in the locker . Do they need to use the traditional chinese dict? Cause my son is currently using the electronic one?

          Hi octopusmum, dd use the chinese dictionary since pri sch, we dun have the electronic one, and her bag is so heavy today she can’t even walk straight. At least your ds can use his locker, half of DD’s class do not have the key yet. I think chinese e- dictionary is allowed.

          Hi Justsay, we paid $15 for the locker, not $10.

                  Hi sall, I think u should get en electronic chinese dict for your dd too. The english dict alone already weighs a ton.


                  We also pay $15 for the locker. Dont tell me they practice differential pricing: yr one pays more?!

                    I was hoping that the locker can be available asap, so dd can put both dic in the locker, dun have to bring home. I have another chinese dic and also english dic at home, trying not to spend on e-dic.

                    Seems like all Y1 paid $15 and Y2 and Y3 paid $10.
                    dd refused to let me help her with her heavy load today, insisted on carrying it herself ,even though she was half bent over. Reason: paiseh

                      Why don’t you all get a luggage type bag with wheels? I am not sure, I’ll imagine is much more manageable.

                        In the mean time, maybe can ask your dd to share locker with her classmates, at least for the dictionaries.
