Beacon Primary

[Merlion]

A lot of schools are using SMS now.

Chief,


Guess it's most efficient way to reach almost everyone with just one message!

... Did you get an sms from Beacon yesterday? My husband got it, not me and this is the text (I am reproducing it exactly as it was sent - warts and all! :D) ...

Whoah. SMS some more. So advanced. No wonder they say Beacon is a \"school of the future\".

thanks!!! i love it too...hope to see your blog soon...let me know k? will you be getting all the books and uniform on that day?i'm still waiting for the book list...do you think getting at the school will be cheaper than outside or its the same?

I'll def let you know once I start it. I really have no idea about the books and uniforms. My friends say to buy the text books and uniform from the school and the others from Popular. What do you think? I think I'll go on 24 (?) the saturday and then buy the uniforms and books. Do you want to go at the same time, so we know how we look like?

What are the \"others\"? is it the book covers etc? think easier to get books and uniforms there too...I'm just wondering if the Popular membership discount applies to textbooks...thought of going on the friday to avoid the crowd though it will be great if i can meet you on sat....guess we'll arrange nearer to the date..
are you still in the PV?

I believe so. Better still, normally in June and in December, they have this discount voucher of 20% in their store magazine which can be applied to most items they sell.

which means its actually cheaper to get it in Popular? In that case, I should just get the books from Popular when i received the booklist...
Thanks Chief!!!

Yeah, lets discss this later - closer to the date. Yup, I'm still doing the PV, thot I'll finish up this year and then see about next year.
