Thanks so much Tinkerbelle!!!


Can we order the MCS exercise books and school socks from Pacific as well? How do we know what sizes of plastic covers to buy for the different books?

Thanks for the update, can I check whats the estimate cost for getting all the basic books for the a P1 student. How about PE attire ?

Hi tuteee,

Sorry, I'm not sure what is the exact cost of textbooks for P1 this yr but just to give you a rough idea, you are looking at approx. $100 for the complusory items.

This cost does not include the cost for optional items (roughly $40) for art materials, art bag, textbook & exercise book covers etc. All Catholic students must also buy a textbook & a bible (which costs $24.90) for Catholic Values Education. So if you are buying optional items as well, the maximum cost for textbooks & stationery for P1 will be $150.

Cost of PE shirt ranges from $6.50 to $8.50 depending on size; PE shorts are from $6 - $7.50, pinafore ranges from $17.50 - $25.50

Hi phoenix,
Yes, you can order MCS exercise books from the Pacific Bookstores website but MCS socks are only available from the uniform shop ($3/pair).

As for textbook plastic covers, they come pre-packed in a set (about $6)in the right sizes for all your textbooks...very convenient. You just need to match the sizes & wrap. Exercise book covers come in a set of 10 for $2.

If Catholic students have a to buy a Bible and textbook, what about non-Catholic students? They do social studies?

Hi michyms,

Social studies and Civics & Moral Education (CME) is compulsory for all students. For CME, it's conducted in the child's Mother Tongue Language so do ensure you buy the CME workbook in the right language .

Non-Catholic students do not need to buy the bible and Catechism textbook. When Catholic students have their catechism lessons on Wednesdays, non-Catholic students will have their Values Education lessons instead.
