Kelmuf, my DS is with a swimming instructor at Hougang Swimming Complex for about 2 months. I would say this instructor is good as my DS, a non-swimmer and now he can swim without holding onto a float. My DS is "working hard" to get ready to take the bronze cert. If you are insterested, PM me.

Hi can I ask why does he need a bronze cert? Is it compulsory? If so, by when does he need one?

thanks. \")

Thanks to all. I have just called them and they informed me about the venue. My collection time is on Friday, 11am to 4pm. I will have to take half day leave.

Hi CuriousHippo,

You can arrange with the vendor to collect the macbook either on Sat or Sun...so you can save on your leave

1) Besides MSHS, does anyone know what other schools make it compulsory for their Sec 1 students to purchase a MacBook?

2) Curious to know how these schools help students who's parents cannot afford to fork out $1800 to $2300 for the MacBook.

3) Heard that the theft rate is very high in MSHS on MacBook being stolen in school compound.

[CuriousHippo]

xvirusga, yes it is compulsory. Somewhere in term 3-4. This was conveyed to the students. You may want to check with ur DS if not the school.

Its worrying to hear there are high theft rates for Macbook in school. Since this is only required in term 3-4, that means they do not need to bring the Mac to school during this period?

[CuriousHippo]

Oppa, I dont think so about the theft rates. All students have to use it from Sec1. My DS, sec1, is using it now.

[Oppa]

Tks Hippo!. I will check with DS tonight. He brought it to school this morning too.


Btw, which class is your DS in? My DS in 1H.

[CuriousHippo]

Oppa, my DS is in 1B

Tks Hippo


Heard from my DS he has a classmate that did not purchase the Mac. Not sure how is the school going to help him since it is required individually as part of the syllabus.
