gksmummy:

janet, can you please share roughly how much did you spend for P1? thank you!

Her textbooks/workbooks are about $118. Can't remember how much her PE top/shorts as well as pinafore/blouses cost. But the school socks costs $3.50 for each pair...quality of socks are good & thick, also has good ankle support.

Don't buy too many assessment books...but I can tell you it's easier said than done :rotflmao: My daughter has the pink SPI active...she said she should have bought the blue instead - to match her pinafore.

Thank u Janet!! My boss is giving me her daughters uniform frm IJ katong convent... She even unpinned the badge for me. Hope it's the same so that I can save $$. As for the textbooks, stellar programme for eng no textbook right? I think the cost is so high for everything...

Hi all, just another kiasu qn… Where will u be buying the sch ahoes frm? I know of a colleague who bought 2 pairs of sch shoes for her girl. Is it necessary? Aldo I was thinking of buying white plain Jane shoes. Or will Velcro shoes be better?

Hi mummies, I’m new to this thread… Juz wonder if u know if it’s a long wait list for P1 next yr… I’m within 1-2km and this year’s balloting at within 1km. So I registered my dd in kcp… Tks

[Kaylasmum]

Ya I know what u mean. I work v near bras brash so of late, I hv been browsing the assessment books. So many choices. Must be a lucrative market for publishers. I hope she eases well into p1 but I also don’t want to hot house her too much. I just hope that whatever prep I give her, it will be sufficient without being too overwhelming nor stifling.

What abt other mummies? What do u do to prep Ur girls?

Hi jokokng

I am also at 1- 2 km but I was under phase 2b which need not ballot.
Just submit Ur name. U never know. Are u staying at bishan?
