The booklist is available at the bookshop too. It is located within the canteen. The bookshop is open for many days during the holidays too, so no worries..there's usually no queue during the weekdays..


Pls check the House your child is in before buying pe attire. The list should be available on the notice board just outside the bookshop.. Currently, it is still the 2011 list..you should see the new list on Saturday.

bookshop (for books and uniforms) is closed for packing today and tmr. Sch books sale starts sat.

Thanks for your reply! It's not very fair since I believe the child should be rewarded based on their efforts,not household income. Any kiasu parents working in MOE that can protest on our behalf?

This is an old issue. Parents wrote to ST Forum before some years ago. So far no removal of household income ceiling. For those with more than $4k household income, juz take it as an encouragement letter and keep it for DSA purpose. What some parents do is to give the equivalent amount to the kids as reward The Edusave scholarship for p5 and P6 will be w/o household income ceiling, amounts being $400 for top 5% and $350 for top 10%.

Hi P1 parents,


there are 2 red clear folders, 1 is blank and the other says maths. Are we supposed to have another, as the pink booklet says there should be 1 Chinese clear folder?

Also, is the red Art clear folder carrying bag necessary for the p1s? I read in the pink booklet students will be given lockers to keep art materials and books? Is this true? At P1, can they manage lockers?

Hi HC_Parent, the book list stated 1 red clear holder for Music, 1 red file for Maths, and 1 plastic ring file for Chinese.

Is there a red Art clear folder? Is this the optional item that is selling at the bookshop u are talking about? Cos the art folder stated on the book list is actually a huge white file-like thing that says \"My Art Folio\" with a plastic file inside.

I only saw 1 student from TNS that made it to Top list in PSLE. Wondering why so few top students considering TNS is one of the top hot school?
