[quote=\"Ms tay\"]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?

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*.[/quote]phankao, you sure are one fast Mummy!

Got a letter from RGS today asking us to consider the Regional Studies Programme (RSP).


Anyone else received the letter?

Haha - I happened to be in the area, so went to the bookshop to ask if the booklist for Sec 1 is out yet. So I buy first lor. So on Thursday, I don't have to sweat in the crowd queuing! Can imagine.

Bbee:

porpi porpi.. :please:

All the best, Bbee. :xedfingers:

Btw, what're your choices? Care to share?

Thanks MummyStay. SJI is our first choice, but we are borderline case hence at this point in time, which school we get posted to is really anyone's guesses. So will be waiting patiently for the D-day :xedfingers:

Er, why cannot? Just ask, lah. I tried calling the bookshop on my way there, but no one answered the phone. But since I was already going there, I drop in to ask, lor.
