Personally speaking, I would prefer the print edition textbooks, but they can get real heavy to carry around. I'm old school, I guess... Does the school give an option? I'm surprised. I thought most schools have gone the way of digital copies.

Yes. My dd prefer printed copies as she can write her notes on it, plus they do have a locker each. This year, they only get their pld in term 3 for sec 1. Plus the rules are such that they can only use pld when teacher get them to. So maybe digital copies for home use. 🤷🏻‍️

Hi parents. Is it necessary to buy all the books on the booklist? My DD said teachers hardly use textbooks especially for math and science coz teachers will give out their own materials.

Yes. They never use the maths textbooks ans science textbook at all, notes are given. At least my ds refer to the science textbooks (for 4 yrs) when he wants read up more details. I remember that they also didn't touch the literature text too (at least for my ds case). 🤷🏻‍️

Nope. Just found out that my son\"s classmate who scored AL6 is also accepted into ispark. It is not by DSA either.

It is not specifically by score. But certain profile which I guess are for those good in maths or science since those dsa maths and science are in isparks. Ispark science and maths are slightly different from other consortiums.

I asked my son, he says No. All are sleepy in the morning, it is very muffled.

Due to COVID, the boys were allowed to wear PE t-shirt every day. Will there be any changes in 2023?

Ds form teacher told them it will be full uniform next year. I am not sure if this is firm, Not an official announcement.

Ds is sec 1 this year, he never use the maths textbook, Mostly use teacher notes and worksheets. For science, it is also mainly notes, though they are told that they can read more details in the textbook at home.

A parent just shared the rules on shoes few post above. Black or dark blue sport shoes as the dominant colour. White school shoes are acceptable too.


They will be offered to buy cca windbreaker around term 2 if I remember right. 😉
