hi all mummies!

im new to this group n my dd is starting her p1 nxt year too. she's in Responsibility.
i've yet to buy her a school bag. Am wondering if the one from Pacific Bookstore is good. any feedback please?
appreciate any other advices too...

Welcome! As most P1 classes are at level 1, initially I chose a trolley bag for dd. But there are some steps and she needed to lift her bag to skip the steps in order not to spoil the wheels of her bag. I remembered changing 3 bags for her till we settled on SPI bag - one which is not too heavy and she can reuse it. True enough, the bag lasted her till P2. We decided to change her a new one for next year - no surprise, it's another SPI bag. It may be slightly costly but we think it is worth the money as the books and files tend to load in her bag closer to the test period at each term end: CA1, SA1, CA2, SA2.

BTW, the school's website also has the Parent's Briefing slides. You can check them out to know what will be covered for each academic subjects as well as their overall character building and aesthetics programme.

Hope this helps!

Yes jnemummy, it's carried out during the PE lessons. The school team practices more regularly but again it's weekdays. The girls come earlier ahead of their usual afternoon classes. But there are at least 3 weeks of extra practice sessions during school hols. Hope your dd will enjoy her lessons. My dd also dances classical ballet and she said gym does help her to many of the ballet movements. Have fun!

Hihi,

Hoylji, your dd is so talented. How can we help support the school team? Do many others and teachers turn up during competitions?

Dear All,


Thank you for your wonderful and kind sharing to us blur newbies. We have withdrawn from Marymount Convent as DD has been offered a place at another school. I wish you and your DDs all the best in their transition into P1 and their exciting journey of learning.

By the way, I was at the bookshop yesterday and the Aunty told me the bible and the textbook covers are in stock.

Here's wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Hi phoenix,

All the best to you and your DD. :rahrah:
