hi,


also want to ask if we need to buy the books and uniforms on orientation day itself? or we can do e-ordering of book first?

ectanz, i have alos thought of getting a trolley bag as my girl requested that i get one for her in p1. A lot of my frens warn me the danger and also it might hurt my girl back cos if she has to climb stairs, they are not allowed to drag the bag. I will consider to get an ergonomic bag for her

Hi, wonder whether NCPS allows trolley bag for kids in p1. Heard tat school may allow if those kids are petite.

I feel that is better for kids to use the normal bag as they have to climb up the staircase to the hall. Though the trolley type bag can push down the handle and carry up but I find that it is still heavier than the normal bags.

I don't like trolley bag as you know when childrens pulls the bag, they just pull without knowing that other students are behind them and that it will accidentally make others or themselves fell down.(The trolley bags make peoples trip easily if not careful).Very dangerous.

I hope that schools will obselete sooner for this type of trolley bag, not suitable for young childrens.

Just an advise from what I observed.

I also dun like trolley bag and forbid my son using it. It's heavy, cumbersome and inflexible. Worst if raining. Long term use may also affect their arm structure as they always twist their arm when pulling it around. As said, if not careful, may end up with injury. However, NCPS does not forbid P1 students using it for now.

Larkspur, I hv bought a trolley bag for my girl before when she was in k1. Ended, i was the one carried the bag when fetching her from school.

My in-laws worried tat my girl might hurt her back carrying heavy textbooks in normal type of bag when she is in p1 and would like us to consider a trolley bag.

Parents will hear P talk and watch performance. Children will go into their classes and brought to their classrooms for some \"assessments\". Last year, they were tested on Eng, Maths and Mother Tongue.

Why start PV (if you get chosen) so early when it makes no difference?

Hi Timtim,

So what's the purpose of conducting this assessments? Is this assessment meant for their class allocation?
