hi jas3angels,


no indication of the house and no indication of when we can order the books online
thought PE attire can just buy like that, you meant it will be differentiated by house?

still thinking of going down to buy on 14th Nov … being the kiasu type:-)

i’ve been dutifully checking the pacific bookstore web, but still did not see the lists for SAPS.
anyone got any idea when we can buy the books online?

hi happymom_aa,


if i remember correctly last yr my dd's letter did indicate which house she was in leh.

ya lor, they differentiated by house. they have 5 or 6 houses and which house PE attire got different colour. if we dun know then how are we going to tell them which house PE attire we want to buy. actually i thot of going to the shop directly to buy instead getting from school. coz that day will be very crowded.

getting from the web is cheaper is it? last yr for my dd, i got everything from school. they packed everything in a box including tie, toothbrush, bottle, socks and files etc in advance le...so i just paid n took the box n go.

hi,
you meant can go to the uniform shop directly to buy? where is it? can share?
if don't know the house, cannot buy the PE attire.

for shoes, as long as white is acceptable, right? will there be problem if white but with logo? acceptable? or must be plain white shoes?

for books, thought of ordering online and get them delivered instead, wanted to avoid crowds.

hi happymom_aa,


the uniform shop is nearby SAPS. aiya, i only know how to go there but dun know the address. trying to go to SAPS website to copy the tel # and paste here but the website is down. is a shop house near cdan golf field.

for shoes, as long as the logo is also white then is acceptable bah.

btw, my ds will be at class 1-8. anyone ds/dd got the same class as my ds?

You only get to know the colour of the t-shirt on the orientation day, so cannot buy earlier. The shop selling the uniform is a provision shop near the school, but cannot remember the exact address. Based on past year experience, no hurry actually. Just order the name tags first, then call the uniform supplier later, as they will be selling uniform in the school in Dec as well.

Thanks mowmow and jas3angels.


No choice, being the kiasu mommy, everything also wanted to be fast … hahaa
Actually, I’ll be outstationed or holiday for most of the time from now till end December, so trying to buy or settle everything during my one whole week in Singapore (16~20)

Thanks … will check out the provision shop that sells the uniform and buy whatever I can first.

Hi,

Went down to the uniform shop (located at Blk 413, diagonally opp the school) today.

Costs about $16.50 for a set, depending on the size.

Luckily went down today, DS pants need alteration, he’s tall but too skinny.
The size S fits well on the waist (about 1" allowance) but the length too short. Got a M, the length is OK, but the pants can drop. The pants cost me $8 (or $8.50, can’t remember) but alteration costs me $5 each

Maybe the school should consider making those elastic band kind of waist for kids …

I just called pacific, they said SAPS had not made arrangements with them and ask me to try 1 week before orientation as it is usually opened 1 week prior, which is this Wed.

I heard Popular is cheaper and just need to pass them the book list. Is that true? Thanks.
