For presentations, DS says pupils usually bring their thumb drives n present using the teacher's laptop. Pupils can bring their own laptops too but a bit more leh ceh. There are at least 20 computers in the library for pupils' usage.

vlim,


u can consider buying swimming gear for him during dec sale. Cannot wear one piece type, u know, those kiddie design. Stock up on PE t-shirts as he would need to wear during orientation camp. Sch did allow boys to wear pri sch PE attire when they ran out of stock. Alternative is not to give/throw away your DS pri sch PE attire yet.

my DS was using the library's laptop in Yr 1. This year, he brings his own. Guess he must be surfing rather than using it for sch work most of the time. Surprising he doesn't find carrying it heavy.

Their last day of school for this academic year is 3 Nov? But the release of APR will only be on 11 Nov, so they have to go back to school to collect it? Can any Yr2 parents advise?
