Sec 1 Camp

[girlmum]

Hi emerald & kameleon,


Yes, wear the pri sch uniform. Sorry, not PSLE cert but the result slip (Oops!) My DD sec sch need the report book but I do saw some who didn’t bring. They were told to bring it when sch starts.

You are supposed to be in your primary school uniform. You also need to bring along any letters that the MOE gave out, like the one offering you EESIS scholarships and etc. You have to be there as there will be a lot of forms given out, like student particulars, offer for HMT and whether you got selected for any 3rd Lang that you applied. If everything flows fine, you will be able to go home at about 1pm +/-.

If your child don’t wear uniform, he will look funny because everybody else in uniform.

Heard alot about Sec 1 orientation camp during open house. any idea when is the camp for diff school?

Different schools have the camp on different days, some on the weekend so it should be around 7-9 Jan if the school holding on weekend.

Some schools have no camp, just orientation for 1 to around 3 days.

Ok. Bc when I said that, my son said, \"Oh, that means that the PSLE results day was not the last time I was to wear my school uniform lah!\". I'm imaginging some who were already \"squeezing\" into their uniform in early Nov....haha - by mid-Dec, dunno what they'd look like already in old uniform.. :shock:

thank you for the info too. I thought have to go to pri sch on 22 dec to get posting letter.

payment for books & uniform is by cash? About $300?

[CJS]

I think you better prepare $500. Secondary school textbooks are more expensive than primary ones. Moreover, there are 10 subjects. :moneyflies:

[ooptimizer]

Yes I agree, better bring $500.

I know sec sch text cost slightly more than $200. If buy from Popular, can sign credit card.


Also no need to carry so much cash around.

Yes, U may buy textbk fm Popular but what abt the exercise bk, writing pad, sch files & etc. These can only purchase fm the sch bookshop. I remember spending abt $400 plus on all the books, uniforms, PE attire & sch socks too. My frd brought $300 and had to rush to the ATM again. Books alone were abt $300 +/-. It is norm to spend abt $500 for sec 1 but when they promote to sec 2, it's usually only abt $150 +/-.
