Hi, looks like most of the girls carry SPI or Lego bags. Isetan private sale is now on and SPI bags go at $89 fr usual price of $110. I bought my DD one from shop close to toysrus at united square. Discount during end Nov sale. Not sure if there is. Enjoy shopping!

Thanks for letting me know Isetan private sale.. I bot the Lego SPI at 30% discount, the pink flower design instead of special buy at $ 89. I think I have bought all stuff...2 weeks more to go..

Have bought the shoes from queensway- brooks. Seems quite sturdy… There were lots of other parents there. Guess don’t want to be caught shopping last min…my next year resolution would be to try to get dd to be less choosy and more decisive. a total of 1.5hrs deciding on a pencil case and bag!!

Hi all, my dd is now P2 and I remember vaguely that the P1 orientation program lasts the whole of first week. Parents are able to see their dd in school tuckshop during recess time but not allowed to buy food for them. I think it’s good to be there on Day 1 but other days should let dd try out on her own. There’s also P5 girls who will be their assigned buddies to let them be accustomed to the school rules, tuckshop, and various places like bookshop, library etc. My dd also has her locker shared with her few other friends to store their school textbooks, ex books and also colour pencils (48 pcs). Hope this helps.

Thanks. I believe Tinkerbell from this thread has updated the results too. Think it's page 375. Thanks anyway!

So which secondary schools did our top MCS gals get posted to? Just curious.

Hoylj, my guess would be RGS?

Is the locker in their classroom? How many girls share a locker?

Yes, lockers are in the classroom. I must say they are more cabinet like than locker. But teacher locks it at end of day. Usually it's 4-6 girls per cabinet. It worked well for my dd. Have fun!
