For RI sec one books alone abt 290+ (excluding pe attire and jersey)

Those who had made the reservesion for sec one books can collect them
On 22nd dec @ blk B . They accept nets/credit cards or cash

:yikes: About $300 for books alone? Wow!
Does the school use the books in the first place?

IPs use a lot of notes and worksheets to teach. Books are mainly for reference. But some textbooks are for Year1-2. Year 2 booklist spending may be minimal.

But whether IP uses a lot of notes and worksheets to teach depends on the school. For our school, we don't get many.

So, Choco05, you basically rely on textbooks for reference and revision?
Are they sufficient?

I kiasu, went to school to buy Sec 1 schoolbooks already. I didn't buy Chinese books (bc I'm not sure whether HCL or CL). And I didn't buy D&T bc I think my boy won't be taking. Spent S$199, including school tie, 2 badges, 6 pairs of socks. *hehe*.
