CHIJ (Kellock)

Hi Kiasu-not! Glad to see someone whose child has been with Kellock.


I just received all the admin forms and book list from Kellock today. We can start buying books this wed-fri. I'm just wondering why can't they send us the forms earlier. Not sure I can take leave in such a short notice.

Btw, on the book list, there's this compulsory mechanical pencil with blue lead. Kiasu-not, can you share with us why do we need to buy that? Is the pencil special other than its using a blue lead? Cos I doubt my daughter knows how to use a mechanical pencil. She'll break the lead all the time cos she's using a lot of strength when doing writing.

i haven’t got my forms yet…

can we buy the books on other days ? what about the uniforms ?

any other info ?

[Maozai]

Hi, yes, there are other dates. For this week, its soley for P1 so I guess its not so crowded. The other dates are combined with the other levels. Sales of uniform and text book are all from the bookshop in the school.


The dates are :
16-23 Nov
30Nov-11 Dec
14-30 Dec

Did you managed to order the books ?

I received the letter on Thu & tried to order online last night but the site said \"it's already closed\"...

We can't buy more than 1 set right?

Hi,


Does anybody know that whether the children need to wear the school uniform on the orientation day on the 21st November 2009?

[shizta]

don’t think so right as haven’t even buy the uniform…


for the textbook - how come the English ones are not included ? Is it cheaper if we buy at Popular (with member card)

Hihi.. was too busy the last few days to check this forum.


I managed to go last friday to get the books and uniform. I think the website is down. I tried ordering online too and got the same error mesg. For uniform, I need to go back to change for a smaller size as the blouse I've bought are too big for my daughter. :oops:

Oh yah... the lady told me our daughters need to be in sch uniform during orientation day itself! I asked her what about those whose parents didn't manage to buy the uniform prior to orientation, she just shrugged her shoulder.

Shizta, they only have the grammer book. No Maths text book too. The bookshop lady told me the teacher will write on the blackboard and students present their answer on the whiteboard. Btw, why would you want to buy more than one set?

[shizta]

i mean i wanted to buy extra set of the socks, which i think 3 pairs will not be enough & maybe the white board also.


i spoke to the lady from the phone shop last Fri, she told me the items have already been packed in a bundle for compulsory & non-compulsory. How come so fast out of stock… When did you went down to CHIJ to get the stuff ?

For the uniform, I was told that size 26 is the smallest but quite hard to bring the kid down during weekdays. Can exchange the uniform if size is wrong ?

How tall is your girl & what size did you buy?

[Maozai]

Opps… I read wrongly. You can get extra pairs of socks. I asked too. Then decide against it as the bookshop auntie told me from P2 onwards, can wear normal white socks, need not buy from sch.


I went down on friday during lunch time. Socks and the mechanical pencil was out of stock. She asked me to collect on orientation day itself.

Uniform can exchange if you do not wash them. I took size 30 for the PE T-shirt as both 26 and 28 were out of stock that day. Was trying my luck to see if my gal can wear 30. Too bad, got to go back to exchange.

My gal is small in size and she’s skinny.

[shizta]

my girl is petite also, think can only wear the smallest size. did you get size 26 for the pinafold ?


if out of stock, how to wear uniform on that day ?

maybe should call the office & bookshop and check…
