2014 Sec 1 Booklist and Stationery list is out on the school's website. You can print it out to calculate how much it cost, decide on the necessary and strike out the unnecessary items so that it will not be a mad rush on reporting day.

If you can, do head to Bibi & Baba at Far East shopping centre to purchase your uniform so that you need not queue for uniform fitting on reporting day as well.

My dd is posted to GESS and this is really good timely info, thank you august24!

My son just posted to Gan Eng Seng will be sec1 in 2014. Pls let me know if you are interested to sell old text books, story books or any reference books.

Hi, just want to alert parents of what my dd encounter on her way home fr sch today. As she was walking to the mrt via Tiong Bahru park, a man grabbed her by her arm and tried to drag her along, insisting that she is in need of help (lost?) and to follow him to report police. My girl being timid and small built did not shout for help or put up any struggle, only replied him no. Fortunately a lady happen to walk towards them & the man let go of her & walked away. The kind lady did ask my girl whether is she ok and if she knew the man. My dd’s new friends do not go via that direction, but with lots of students walking the same path, such incidents still happened! Guess he targets those who are alone. Beware.

Hi

For the safety of your dd and others, it will be good if you report the case to school.

Of course, intended to, just that office is already closed for the day.

Yes, please report to the school for the safety of all our children.

Hi august24,
My dd is not from GESS. Sorry to barge in but reading your dd's encounter, ... I find it really scary and very worrying. Pls ask your dd not to walk via that route again on her own. Thank goodness that lady walks by at the right time. Maybe you shd make a police report besides reporting to school.

August24,

Thanks for the alert.
Although my dd is not from the school but it is imperative to teach our dds to stay vigilant and alert at all times.
I hope your dd is feeling better and can forget the traumatizing experience.
Take care.
