Which school are you asking for? Different schools have different programs for the day.

Ohhh..
CHIJ Kellock?

For CHIJ Kellock, you buy uniform and school books on a different day. Not on orientation day.
The school will send a letter to inform you about which day to buy uniform and school books.

The school bus do cater to those students that require to stay back in the afternoon. You just have to pay like $30 to $50 extra for the transportation. Therefore solved your problems. :rahrah:[/quote]


Thanks! good info!

is it 9 of Nov on orientation day?

Nearer to the date we should be receiving letters to inform us.

Usually in Oct, parents will be invited to go to the school office to formally register their daughter, sign up for the bus, buy school uniforms, etc.
Then, in Nov, there will be an orientation day which the incoming P1 students have to attend in their new school uniforms. Teachers evaluate the students on their reading and basic arithmetic ability, to identify students who need extra coaching before P1 lessons start. On orientiation day, the older students put up performances for the incoming P1 parents to showcase the various CCAs.

Thanks! this is good info!

Dear all P1 mommies,


welcome to Kellock,

amid the buying of school uniforms, shoes and arranging of bus transport,
there are few things to look out for
1. if i remember correctly, there will be a small test for all P1 pupils on the first day. This should not be a problem as all attend Kindergarten schools, i suppose.

2. you may need to prepare another $100 for mathematics materials. you get to pay on the spot and you don’t get to get any thing back. The materials will be given out throughout the years as and when it is needed.

3. Yes, there is no CCA for P1 except if you want your DD to attend extra activities, like Ballet ( Starts Term 2 every Tuesday for P1 ) or tap dance ( dunno when )

hope it helps

once again,
welcome to Kellock

during the orientation, you will be given the P1 booklist.
you can get the books from popular. not sure if selling on O-day.

you can also buy the uniform there, i think.

the pinafore, and the blouse is sold by 1 vendor
the PE T-shirt and the inside blue shorts another vendor.

hope it helps
