[quote=\"Nebbermind\"]They donch bring the files around everyday. Perhaps only once per term/semester for teachers to check.

I vaguely remember they have their own 'GEP' labelled files and they are colour coded. No hurry, just wait for school to commence, wait for instructions and then start buying.
No need to kancheong lah!

I don't plan to get textbooks, ok or not?

Think they only need the MT textbk.[/quote]My ds's school booklist states the HCL books as compulsory. Also includes many school files!

Yes, a lot of files. I have more files than textbooks on the shelf now. Really got to teach DS filing system…he is the kind who is disorganised.


Any parent can advise whether we should be getting pockets for the files for organisation purpose? What is the best organisation method? What should we prepare or take note of for filing?

Thanks.

Hi, I'm not a parent, but a student in Secondary 1 (Sec 2 next year). I was in the GEP programme, and I must agree... Organisation is the key to proper filing.

What I suggest is this: get a ring file of considerable size and dividers (preferably those 12 ones so you can file better) and file according to every subject, with the first and second divider titled \"forms\" and \"homework\".

One bad thing about this is that you would need to bring a hole puncher along everyday. If your son is someone who does not mind filing at school, this is a great method to ensure good filing. Every night, take out the worksheets that need to be filed from the main ring file and file them into respective subject files. Leave those that the teacher needs to go through in the main ring file under the subject.

I find this method particularly useful - this is the only method that stayed with me throughout the years. I tried pockets for filing yet I always seem to do last-minute filing and spend loads of time punching the holes in the worksheets... It's not a very effective method for me.

Anyways, this is my personal preference. Hope you find my method useful
