      Anyone has any idea is the suppose to be correct?Thanks a lot! :rahrah: :thankyou:

      Hi
      If it is the same situation as for P1, we pay first and the school would hand it out during class.

      [quote][/quote]Thanks ohdaddy
      Hopefully it goes this way as my girl did not join MCS on the very furst day of her P1 at MCS.She joined MCS only in March and I bought all her books ( plus all the MCS booklets) when I made the transfer.

      :thankyou:

        :?: Hi any mummy can help?


        I ordered my girl's P2 books online through the pacific website and the books are delivered to me this evening. When I opened the book and double check ( after the courier man left), i realized that all the items published by MCS are not in my big box at all. I have indicated I want these items and already paid for but i did not receive them just now.

        The items are :

        P2 MCS Thematic Booklets(10 Booklets)
        P2 MCS Listening comprehension booklet ( 1 booket)
        P2 MCS Handwritting Booklet ( 1 booklet)
        and
        P2 MCS LIP Booklet ( 1 booklet)

        The credit note that was passed to me by the courier man only indicate that the social study student folio and the pupil helpmate will be claimable at the
        bookshop when school re-opens but nothing was mentioned about the booklets.

        Anyone has any idea is the suppose to be correct?Thanks a lot! :rahrah:
        :thankyou:

        Hi miffymiffy,

        Check the booklist for items marked * which means they are only available in 2012. You will need to pay for them now though..

          Hi there, me too... jst bot the school books... gudness! i fainted! came up to $175. asked to deliver to my hse wi delivery charge of $7.60...

          fainted! then sch uniform another $95....

          school bus another $80... gudness... nwadays everything is so ex...



          oh yes, I was in the school too today, spend $150. The lady was quite nice, she told me what are the stuff I can don't buy. She even told me secondary school books will cost $200 to$300 in the future. When I heard that, my jaw dropped


          I saw the piles of assessment books and test papers parents were buying for each subject for their children at Popular and they definitely cost more than the textbooks. Let's not forget the tuition these kids get too :yikes:

          [/quote]


          I'm going to bring my kids to get the uniform this sat. Why so expensive $95. can tell me the breakdown cost, still need to get black shoes and school bag.
          Guess I'm going to be the finance minister for my family very soon. Have to do yearly budgeting.[/quote]

          2x T-shirt - $13
          2x shorts - $12
          4 pair of socks - $12
          Name tag - $4
          School jacket - $25

                Tinkerbelle,


                http://www.goodlightscraps.com/content/congrats/congrats_12.gif\">. Bet your DD must be over the moon.


                The Lion Children's Bible

                Anyone purchase this from Bookshop ... pls advise if this is the hardcover or soft cover version. TIA


                School Uniform

                My damage for the uniform is S$97.50; not including the Jacket. Got 3 x Pinafore, 2 x PE Tee/Shorts, 2 sets of name tags & 3 pairs of socks. DD’s pinafore is 3 fingers above the knees; wanted to take longer but top too loose for her. End up took size 28 and Auntie said will help to tighten the top. Hopefully she don't outgrown the pinafore too soon.

                    mommy to 3js, the aunty also gave my dd size 28 pinafore to try. She said it was too big for her and that size 26 would be fine. But I insisted on sticking to 26 as I didn’t want her to outgrow it before the year was up. So the uniform shop would tuck in the armhole for me. Size 28 is a few fingers below the knee.


                    I didn’t buy the jacket, so my damage for the uniforms is $74.

                      Same here... aunty kept insisting size 28 is too big for my DD. Though size 26 fits right but it's TOO SHORT... DD was wearing her CC's uniform & I could see her shorts.
