Thank you strangequark. The RGS 1:1 website is quite useful.
I am concerned about the weight of my daughter’s school bag. Unfortunately, this is not answered in the list of FAQs. -
the laptop usually hand-carry.
purchase those bags from Apple store. -
Can I just jump in with a couple of questions about computer use? Do the girls bring the computer to school daily? Do they use it a lot for classes and homework? How is the computer support in school? Any comments about which model is preferable (Air/Pro)? We’re going to have to get one next year when we get back to Singapore, and we haven’t decided which yet. Thanks!

Air is lighter. -

Yes, but is the lack of a large hard drive a big drawback? Also, do you have any responses to my other questions? Thanks!slmkhoo:

Yes, need to bring on every school day. There's certainly daily usage where my girl is concerned - homework, assignments, group projects and discussions, notifications from certain teachers....
We bought a Pro but on hindsight, Air would be better as the kids dun use discs; lighter too. If the laptop is bought from the school's approved vendor, can just send the laptop to their service centre, within the school, should any problems crop up. -

They only had one model each for Air and Pro. They had other options like add on insurance, s/w etc. Comes with 4 years maintenance. I bought an Air for my girl. Space, performance is not an issue. Its much lighter for her to carry everyday to school.Lenny08:

Hi. I am an RGS girl in Year 2 and is preparing for the Math RA Selection test. May I know how and what to study for the Selection test? What topics or types of questions will they usually test??? (e.g. geometry, general algebraic questions?) So, how can I prepare or study for the test???
Thank you very much! -
