KiasuDaddy:

From experience...school badges and name tags are item that is easily mis-placed.

That is why I got my dd a few extra school badges, imagine early morning need to rush to school but cannot find school badge...very stress, right? :stompfeet: :stompfeet: :stompfeet:

Hahaha! U said it!

We were advised by the bookshop people to buy extra, just in case. So we bought 3. I think my dd forgot abt the badges when she emptied the plastic bag of the bookshop purchases, and discarded the plastic bag. Yet to start school, already misplace them. And she called me kiasu when I bought 3

My dd will be in Y3 next year.

So your dd is all geared up for 2 Jan ?

By the way, welcome to Cedar family ! :rahrah: :rahrah:

Thank you for the warm welcome, and always answering my queries so patiently :oops:

Dd ironed her uniform last nite. This morning she tells me she cannot find her sch badge :slapshead: Good thing they will be wearing PE tshirt for orientation. She will hv to buy another badge this Friday.

I've just realized that we did not make any arrangements for name tag. Was there a form in the orientation package to be filled out?


Any advice what's a good pair of running shoes that is acceptable by the school? Dd finds it 'cool' to wear something with a bit of colors (30% school colors)

Thanks in advance.

Hi Olive,
Dun worry, the school will give your daughter the necessary form to filled up for the name tag during her 1st day of sch. Dun worry about it, all student will wear the cohort Colour name tag.

As for the track shoe as long as you follow the sch rules on Colour that is permissible, you will have a whole joy of shopping spree for the brand of track shoe your daughter like. Here are the rules below:

• Only track shoes with white base are allowed. If there is any design/logo/minor trimming on the white-base track shoe, they should be small and inconspicuous, and must be either in black or school colours (blue, grey or gold)

*I have notice almost half of the students wear white sneaker shoe too.
not every child like to wear track shoe all week. My daughter always rotate wearing sneaker when there is no PE session for the day and wear track shoe if there is PE. And my daughter wear sneaker strictly for her girl guides as they require them to wear for foot drill.


Enjoy your Xmas festive holiday...

Thank you!

Thank you, All, for your kind sharing regarding school shoes.


I hv more questions :oops:

Pocket money - Is $5(exclude drinks) sufficient for CCA days?

CCA briefing - on Reporting Day, it was mentioned that there will be a day (can't remember the date) where CCA briefing will take place and parents are allowed to attend the briefing. Did I get this right? Is it common for parents to turn up for this, or do most girls attend without their parents?

TIA

The price range for the food sold in the school canteen is between $1.20 to $2. You can try giving your dd $5 first and remind her to feedback to you if she finds it insufficient during CCA days.

You may attend the CCA briefing but for my case, I let my dd attended on her own coz she would be looking at the audition dates for those CCAs that she was keen to join.

Thank you for your advice.

I also think it is not necessary for me to be there.

May I ask which year is your dd in? It's ok if you dun wish to say

Greetings to All! My dd joining Cedar IP, too!

There will be a CCA week where there will be auditions and trials for the girls to try out all the CCAs. At the end of the “exercise", the girls are allowed to choose 6 preferred CCAs. Hope my memory doesn’t fail me !

Thank you!

My dd is keen to join the Performing Arts if she gets a place in Cedar.


Anyone cares to share how cca allocation is done in Cedar? Are the girls encouraged to try out at all auditions, or only a selected few? Any comments on Cedar handbells n guzheng? Dd is very impressed with Cedar Choir. Dd was not from any Performing Arts cca in her primary sch. Would that put her in a disadvantaged position?

I believe the school website is not updated with their ccas' achievements. Last update for Cedar Handbells was a silver award in 2009 n nothing thereafter :?

[quote=\"nansk\"][quote=\"vlim\"]Hi, my dd has chosen Cedar Ip as her first choice.

Hope someone can share about IP in Cedar. Thanks in advance:)

Is Cedar IP considered better than SCGS IP? Just curious.

Cedar ip started 4 yrs ago if I am not wrong and scgs started 1 or 2 yrs ago. My dd prefer cedar. I like both schools. [/quote]
Same here. But please do consider the school fees for both, they are very different. If you hv EESIS it might help a bit[/quote]
Both are great schools. We did consider the difference in fees, but did not reveal it to dd in case she put a big consideration on that. Important for us is the distance from home. That helped in our decision making when all else is considered.
