Hello! I'm glad to share with you that I've been posted to RGS but I have a few questions:


1) How long should the pinafore be? What about the culottes? Erm, my primary school allowed any length as long as it didn't look like a miniskirt nor a long skirt, but i don't know about RGS. tHats why I'm asking this stupid question.

2) What are we supposed to bring tomorrow?

Thanks in advance.

Hey,
1)Don't worry, when you buy your uniforms tomorrow, there will be student helpers there to provide you guidelines! Do remember not to pick blouses that fit exactly because part of the RGS uniform is the cool folded sleeves So maybe get one with slightly longer sleeves for rolling them up!

2)Actually i can't remember. Don't worry though, it's just some briefings and buying of things. They won't ask for your PSLE certs or anything.

Hi Choco85,


Can I check whether it is necessary to purchase the textbooks as I understand that some textbooks are not used?

Thank you.

I have just checked with the admin office and was informed that we do not have to bring along any documents tomorrow. The gals just have to report at 8.30am wearing their primary school uniform.

Hi Choco85,

Thank you.

The thing about the textbooks is that it's usually not used, but applies to the syllabus for a long time. For example, your geog textbook will be in use from year 1-4.

I would say, unless you are very sure you don't need something, or like you have hand me downs from another child/friend, just buy the books. This is the only one time you would be buying so many actually! For year 2 and 3 all you buy is math/lit/chi books.

Plus, knowing how kiasu parents are, they will buy everything, even the stationery like scissors :roll:

I am guilty of that. I bought the paints, brushes, scissors etc last year. She finally used it for her D&T project...

She did read her textbooks last yr since no other assessment books are needed. She read through her RGS notes and textbook(except maths) to prepare for her exams. Was enough without the need for any tuition.

So I guess we still have to purchase all the textbooks. Should we purchase both Chinese and HCL textbooks and workbooks if they are eligible for HCL or we just need to purchase HCL textbooks and workbooks only?
