When my son goes into school, I shall request a Meet Parents Teachers day, so that our child can enjoy at least a few sports and games, without the stigma of "You must be Good in this Sport before you are admitted".


Early physical sports and games, and the children enjoyment of these games are all part of having a happy childhood. It is timely that the MOE has disband the bands. I feel we, as parents, should have a say in how the schools are run, as our child will be there for 6 years. From experience, these 6 years are crucial for child physical and brains development.

Hi all,

does anyone knows what is the syllabus for next year Primary 1 for DLS?
does anyone knows also where to get the list of books, or school equipment to buy, or where to buy the school uniforms? Dont think the tailor can make all 300 pairs (x 2) for all the new enrolls, if the orientation and all takes place only on 27 Dec 2012. School starts on 2 Jan 13. I am thinking of writing to the MOE soon, as I think the school principal is too busy to answer my request for information.

These types of questions are great!!! they are the types that would allow one to think deeply, rather than memorising type of questions.


By the way, where to get the textbook list for Primary One for next year 2013? DLS is very silent after Registration. Do we get it from the school, or does MOE published a common list for all schools?

Hi All again,

anyone has an idea of how to contact the parents support group? would like to join and learn from them. Thanks.

Hi All,


would be good info for me too.
my son is going into DLS primary one next year.
Most of my friends children are already starting classes and orientation this month and next month, but DLS is only doing it on 27 Dec 2012. (There goes my last week usual holidays overseas. Not got to change my plans).
Does DLS has any unique culture we can be aware of?
Thanks, :lovesite:

Thanks, KiasuMay11 and all,

thanks for allaying my fears. Can I check how much pocket money we can give to our Primary 1 kids? Full day school, is it very tiring for child? Where do they eat? How is their tuckshop like? Are they given lockers? Can we packed food for them to school?

Sorry, you did not get your child in 4 years ago. How about transferring him into DLS this year? Its never too late to get a catholic education.

Yes, I have this situation too. My son takes 1 hour to take a meal. In kindergarten, he takes very little food. How to solve this?..stress lah.
