Hi, can I request for some information from other parents? DS is starting P1 next week (2012) and we are packing his school bag for 1st day of school (3-Jan-2012). Among the books that DS is required to bring on the 1st day is this Math book called \"Math Plus 1A\", which is not on the book list. I called up the school book shop today and the young lady who answered the call is not sure what book this is, but she confirmed that they do not have this book in their inventory. Does anyone know what book this is, and where to get it?

I suspect that this may be CHS' own Math book? If it is, do the P1 students buy the book from the teacher on the 1st day?

Hi, you can check your booklist, next to Maths Plus 1A should have \"Catholic High\" as Publisher and \"NAY\" (not available yet). So yes it should be CHS internal Maths materials. The teacher will let the students know when the book is available and its price (might not be the 1st day of school).

chschs, thanks so much for your information! In the booklist it is written as \"Catholic High School Math Workbook 1A (internal publication)\" but in the orientation booklet the title is \"Math Plus 1A\". Is it the same book? A little confused because the titles are different.

This is the first year they are naming it as Maths Plus, so that probably causes the confusion. In the past, it was known as ATM (Accelerated Thinking Maths). A warm welcome to your boy to CHS and Happy New Year!

Thank you so much, chschs, for your help, and especially your warm welcome. Here's wishing you and your family a Happy New Year too!

Hi ralf2, I attach the list of books the P1 boys are expected to bring to school for the first week (scanned from the orientation booklet).
http://i44.tinypic.com/w1652q.jpg\">
In addition, as per orientation booklet:
1) Stationery - 3 to 5 sharpened 2B pencisl. Mechanical pencils and pens not encouraged. Big soft eraser. A 15-cm plastic ruler.
2) Plastic clear folder to keep worksheets and letters from teachers.
3) Water bottle

For school attire,
- uniform with all metallic buttons hooked on, name tag ironed on (preferably sewed on). 2012 P1's tags are white with blue wordings and border.
- white shoes with velcro preferred.

Label all belongings with child's name and class. Hope this helps!

May I ask other CHS parents, since school re-opens on a Tuesday and not Monday, hence school tie is not required, right? (even though it is the first day of school)

P1 first day of school only. Wear or don't wear tie doesn't matter lah. Relax! They won't kick you out bc of a tie or sock or any other little thing. enjoy!
