My son is going into Primary 1 next year, dunno if there is any school bus going into Punggol Area and does anybody know if we need to purchase the MPH Maths Textbook listed as optional? since there appears to be no other Maths Text book on the booklist

CHS is using her own Math textbooks & workbooks (ATM), which can only be purchased thru the teachers when term starts. You can buy the optional textbooks to revise with your child at home, if you wish to. Perhaps you can check with the teachers first, as you can buy these items from the bookshop any time when term starts.

Thanks for the info, I have already taken out the optional items from the booklist order form as can buy them later if needed. Dun wanna crowd the small flat with unused books. Wonder if it will be very crowded to buy books and uniform at the sch bookstore during orientation day..or can parents go into the bookstore another day to purchase the required items for P1?

You can call the bookshop to check if the books and school uniforms are already available there. You can buy them before, during or after orientation, if you want to avoid the crowd. You can also buy the items when term starts but be prepared for the long queue at the bookshop.

Yes, parents can go into the school premise to buy the stuffs for their kids during school hours. The school is quite receptive to the idea of parents coming into the school premise to visit their kiddos (eg. during recess), especially during the first week of the academic year.

Can always buy the uniforms from BiBi/Baba. Easier than during orientation?

There was an option to order and self-collect from the vendor at Towner Road for the booklist last year. Could also arrange for Home Delivery at a fee.

Your DS in P1 next year or this year? P1 this year has no exams, what's causing your stress?

Hi everyone, can I ask for some advice? It is stated on the orientation information package that we have to label all personal belongings (books, stationery, bag, water bottle, etc.) with name and class. Can I check with other CHS parents if we can use personalised name labels with colourful cartoon designs (like Ben 10, Angry Birds, Cars, etc.) on the textbooks, workbooks, exercise books, stationery, water bottle, bags, etc.? My boy wants to get them, but I am worried that the school may have some restriction on their use.

You can use those cartoon stickers on the textbooks and personal items but not on the workbooks and exercise books.
