Hi Happymom2,


Just wondering if there is a list of books/items that we need to pack for our DD's first day at school? Maybe I overlooked but I do not recall seeing anything mentioned in the files that we received during the orientation....

Thanks.

Hi,

I went to the MCS bookshop yesterday (26 Dec) and from the 5 out-of-stock items, only the Maths Builder 1A is in stock - P1 parents, do take note that this book is required for DD's first day at school. The other items for P1 are still out of stock, i.e. FTGP, Helpmate, Maths Builder 1B and MPH Handwriting.The bookshop staff mentioned that Maths Builder 1B will only be available in Apr/May 2013 - apparently this info was from the publisher.

Hi agehachou,

Yes, there's a list of books required for first day of school - the info is in the \"P1 Orientation Information Booklet\" that we received on orientation day. Look under \"Day One in School/Books to be handed in on the first day\".

Hi all,


Can anyone help me with these two questions…?

1)Is the Pupil Helpmate the small blue (ordinary) notebook?

2)Just discovered in shock that some items are missing although we have ordered them… May I know if we can get it directly from the Pacific Bookstore or does MCS have any bookstore in the school?

Thanks…

Sure,

1) Yup
2) Yes MCS has a bookstore, open almost everyday

Have a good 2013 fellow mums and dads, for those whose daughters are in P1 this Wed, have fun! MCS is a good choice

1) Pupil Helpmate is a school printed note book like a diary for the girls to record school homework and activities. The first few pages are school information. A copy will be made available in the school bookstore or even some form teachers can take orders in the first few days of school.

2) The school bookstore is at the far end of level 2 of the usual classroom block (can't remember the name). You can definitely pick up some items from the bookstore. I believe you can even inform the school security that you are picking up items from the bookstore and go there yourself rather than asking your dd to buy the items herself.

Trust this helps! Happy New Year!

[quote=\"ORANGEJUICE02\"]Hi linlin, this for sharing. Anyone! Me sotong. I didnt know tat those books u mention I Oslo dont ve. When can we purchase it?

The school material (journal and helpmate) will wait till school open
The rest I'm waiting for popular..around Dec period

My gal in Garnet too

I just ordered the books online (awaiting delivery) - they had the Maths Builder 1A & 1B (or so it seems), but still don't have:

MPH! Handwriting (2E)
Pupil Journal
Pupil Helpmate
Drawing Block 80LBS

So during delivery, would they also not have items that seems to be available during order?

Also, can we get the \"MPH! Handwriting (2E)\" in Popular?[/quote]The lady at Popular told me that their version of Handwriting 2E seems different from the one required by school and told me its best to buy directly from the school bookshop.

[Linlin]

Now left

*MPH! Handwritting
*Pupil Journal
*Maths Builder 1B (stocks will be in around late mar or apr)

Any parents stay till 3.30pm?
