Hi Ninjago,

You can check again on orientation day which house your child is being group to, then you will know exactly the house PE T-shirt to buy.

@beauty79,
Based on previous years experienced, there will be a list of dates for parents to purchase the books/uniforms etcs. As the other primary also need to purchase the next level of their books and new uniforms.

Regards,
Astee

After coming back from school on the form-filling exercise, read thru the book list etc etc. Realised don know what colour PE t-shirt to buy.....

Did the book list state alternative days to buy books besides orientation day?

Hi hi Astee,

Can advise the following:
Was reading the booklist, is it really necessary to buy the A3 art bag and crayons? I mean really must be ‘uniform’ for all pupils on the bag and really got use crayons? And really used for Art period?
Because personally don use much crayons and don want to buy extra. So was thinking of using his current colour pencils and Art bag can get hands-me-down.

Hi Ninjago,


For both my children, they did use the crayons for the art lesson, so it's good to have one on standby.As for Art bag, we used to have an A3 size file for it, if i remembered correctly. If you already had an art bag, then i don't think you will need to get another one.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ninjago,


We did not buy any art bag for my DS1 when he was P1. Bought for him one from the school bookshop this year. The student keep their art work and crayon and drawing board in the art bag for easy storage. You can use your own art bag if you want.

For textbooks, you can buy from school bookstore or Popular. But exercise books and folders can only get from school bookstore. I normally wait till Dec only get the books and uniform as somehow the crowd is small so no need to wait long.

The black shoes sold at the school is at reasonable price and quite durable. DS1 has his for close to two years now. Good to get more than one pair so can be worn on alternate day.

Will the school let the parents know which class yr child is in when you fill in the form? I could not make it on the assigned day and the staff said to fill in on the orientation day itself.

Hi Beauty79,


If there is no change of process, the school will be sending the documents which will include the class and house that you child has been posted to, prior to orientation day. So on the orientation day itself, you will know which class to assemble your child to in the hall.

After the assembly, the form teachers will bring the kiddos to their future classroom with their classmates, while the parents remain in the hall for the talks. When the talks end, you will be able to go to your child's classroom to sign him/her out. Then you can proceed to buy uniforms/books etcs.

Hopefully there are no changes to the processes, if there are any, you guys will be a good lead to share with future newbies to the forum.

Happy Graduation Ceremony to the PCF kiddos tomorrow at TGPS. Saw that GOH is PM Lee, such an honor and i know the kiddos will put up their best performance for their parents and teachers!!
