Hi went to the sch yesterday..

It took me 2 hrs to wait to purchase the books n uniforms though there are only a few parents doing the purchase .Alot of time spent on waiting. Not efficient . The vendor is not prepared. Hopefully on the 8 n 9 nov, they are better organized n prepared . Otherwise, prepare to wait for half a day .
My advice : to do the preorder for the textbooks .

went to read through the forums... apparently, BL marketing hasn't learned how to improve the efficiency after 2 years.

went to get my son’s uniforms and books from the school bookshop today. crazy queue and wait for uniforms. we went early, and they were not open. When the bookshop staff arrived, they had only one person serving for the purchase of uniforms. Said person was handling the sale of uniforms, PE attire and shoes. There really needs to be better management of the system (or lack thereof) especially when parents have to make time (weekday, office hours) to purchase the items in time for orientation. First few in queue and there is already no stock for his house tee. They said the stock is at the bookshop (they are selling at a different location, behind the canteen). So now I have to make a special trip down to buy since they aren’t open on orientation day. Or wait for when school opens proper to purchase.


Also, does anyone knows if the uniform supplier is new? The clothes are really lousy! PE attire is so thin and the shorts, both the uniform and PE are so transparent. I noted that the website indicated Shirley Season Wear (at Serangoon Central) as the uniform vendor but the letter to parents said only BL Marketing / school bookshop.
