Wow, thank you so much for the sharing. Looks like I made the right decision choosing PC.

Mine is going to PC P1 next year too. Has sent my child to a Chinese enrichment class for about a year till now. Hope the preparation suffices. But don't you think the \"streaming\" a bit too early? Unnecessary stress, to me.

I am also waiting for the book list. I heard some other schools already had their orientation and everything done. Has been wondering... good to see the update here.

I too am unsure how and what criteria they use to screen students and assign their P1 class. Don't have to be stressed! The assessment is not accurate representation of kid's ability as kid may be shy and may not do well during the \"oral/reading tests\". Anyway I undersand students will be streamed in P3 & P5 again(this time should be based on their results). Guess by P5, all the better students will be in either C or D class, according to current system. Just keep ensuring our kid put in their best effort, guide them and motivate them to do better next time.

PC usually hold P1 orientation on last day of school, think 19th Nov this year. If you have any questions/concerns, you can always ask the principle, he is quite approachable. Parents will also be shown around the school during orientation. Take this time to explore school canteen(find out the type of food and pricing(so you know how much pocket money to give), library, classroom location, toilet, CCA...etc

Welcome to PCS and have fun!

I have just received the booklist and the dates for uniforms and textbooks purchase. 13th Nov is the date from 9am -2pm…

Bus operators are there too…

We can pre-order online and collect later, but when I go into the website given, there is no PCS booklist. I have contacted pacific bookstores, so let’s wait for their reply.
