I am also confuse for the "online ordering". However i have fews old textbooks with me now, my hubby said just drop by on the mentioned date and buy fr there, at the same time can check whether the old books i have now are still valid.


Anyway, going to get the school uniforms by this wednesday and will check with the school directly.

called the book store...they said we will be able to order online

from 3pm onwards.... they trying to upload those schools booklist
on their system.....i will do online ordering first so tat when i go to
dls this week, will juz pick up books and buy uniform. less hassle since
i think shld be quite chaotic over there.

Hi Mommies:)


My Son will be in DLS next year too and in the same class as your son Anna St Gabriel1.
I placed my order for his books online and i get them to deliver too...waay easier and no fuss and chaos ..I've been doing that for the past 3yrs with my daughter<she's in CHIJ OLQP>
Will be dropping by the school tomorrow to hand in the papaer work and get his uniform, but Im really quite surprised that they are allowing parents in coz they are conducting GEP tests there :roll:
Im glad I found this link as i seldom log on to KiasuParents

anyway, yup all dls P1 kids of year 2010 shld hv
rec'd the orientation notice y'day in the mail....
basically, we'v gotta get the books & uniform next
week before the orientation on the 17/11 becoz they
expect the kid to be dressed in the uniform on 17/11.
also, the kids will hv to bring his pencil case & colour pencils
for i guess some assessment test likely....

my son's in st elizabeth 1 & yellow house colour..... no preference
in colour for him ..... anyone else same same????

i hv yet to get him anything to prep him for P1 but hv
been looking around for a suitable bag though. think will
get one of those ergonomic bags.... seems handy & not so bulky...
opinions from experienced mamas out here????

Hi baby2momma,

I am new to this fun and interesting forum and my girl is going to DLS next year. She is going to be your son's classmate (st elizabeth 1).

I hope to share and pick up effective/good parenting skills from this forum.

Hi hi Mvelle09,


Nice to know you joined KS....
Its indeed a great place to share about how KS
we as parents are.... :lol:

Anyway, I will let my son know that he will be in the same
class as a newly found cyber-space friend who soon will
be his real life classmate next year and I think he will be
excited about it.

Did you all go to the school today to get books & uniform??
Hubby brought sonny there to get the stuff ......

Hi! So good, will have new friends here.


I went to do the registration today and buy the uniforms, however i did not buy the books yet as \"lazy\" to carry, it all pack in a box & i do not wish to carry it & walk back home. According to the bookstore, we can either buy online and they also will sell it on the orientation day.
For the school uniforms, i really not sure how many sets i need to buy, i saw some parents bought 3 sets uniform & 3 set for PE, really need meh? anyway i strongly recommended that bring along your kid so that u will know the size to buy. I did not bring my son along & most likely i have to go back to change again. I only bought 1 set as we can buy it during the school holiday or on 17 Nov.

Today is a very meaningful day for me, as 6 years ago a mother was suffered in KKH and a little baby born that was my son. Today is his birthday (i think the whole block know this) & i on whole day leave, firstly to settle his P1 registration and also celebrate his birthday in childcare centre. :love: :love:



Hi ! milkomome, happy to know you, since u already have a schooling girl, must learn from experience mother like you.

[mvelle09]

Hurray, all cyber friends.


I am planning holiday programs for my girl. Considering Abacus as I think it is quite fun and can be completed in short timeframe. any comments ? Is the concept too different from what is going to be covered in school ? Will it create confusion ?

[Anna Ng]

i intend to let my son to go to holiday program also, otherwise he will be too free. Not sure CCK mummy, any planning & good suggestion?


and also, any mummy here need to arrange for school bus pick up? can share experience?

[baby2momma]

i for one is going to arrange for school bus transportation for

my son. i also blur blur in regards to the bus transport system
for DLS but for sure i know the bus comes over my place
to pick up kids coz seen kids queing up to get onto the bus.

me no no holiday program for sonny coz he will be in a holiday
programme anyway coz he's in child care for the whole month
of Dec!! thought of signing him up for Chinese enrichment drg
school hols but thought - juz let him enjoy his hols before REAL
school starts....

Happy Belated Birthday, Anna's son!!! :celebrate:

Hi! baby2momma:
