Hi seniors, during the first day of school, do we need to lug along our school books and for the orientation t-shirt, are the sizes similar to that of the school pe tshirt?

Hi, no you don't have to bring books for the entire orientation week! Lucky, huh? Just bring the forms you are required to bring~

I'm not sure about the orientation shirt though.

[quote=\"kuancs\"]Hi there, i like to ask during class how do you connect the Macbooks to the school network, is it via LAN connection or WIFi?

You connect to the school Wi-Fi. However after connecting to the Wi-Fi you'll need a Network Access Client (it's called Odyssey) that will be pre-installed into your Mac if you buy your Mac from Sapura (to be able to connect to the school network). If you don't, then you'll have to pay extra bucks for it to get installed if I'm not wrong.
There will be a really detailed briefing on how to configure everything and the ICT department/Sapura technician can also be approached if there are any problems.

@Kaeshion, there is no need to pay extra for it to get installed; you just have to go to inet to get the link once the girl has gotten her inet username and password For me, I bought my macbook air from outside, and it was selling at $1688 for the 13inch model, same as school model, but i don't know why, Sapura is selling it for $19xx that was the reason why I was turned off from buying from Sapura. Many say it is because there is a technician all the time, but you can get that by buying the AppleCare Plan with costs $2xx, so it is still cheaper than buying from Sapura All programs that Sapura helps to download can be downloaded via the links at iNet :)[/quote]Apple care Plan is only for 1-2 years. When you buy through Sapura, they provide 4 years warranty. So far less than $100, your laptop is covered for 2-3 extra yrs. Besides, it is helpful when the helpdesk is in RGS. It might be worth considering whether to buy insurance for the laptop as well which is provided (you have to pay more) when you buy through the school.

There will be PSLs guiding the sec 1s through this You'll learn the famous Raffles cheers :rahrah: and songs, there will be CCA orientation too, get to know your house, badge initiation and performance by each sec 1 class that parents will get invited to watch~
