To facilitate the ease of purchasing the textbooks and uniforms, our bookshop and uniform vendors have put in place online ordering and delivery options. We strongly encourage all parents to opt for online ordering and delivery.

Parents who wish to pick up their purchases physically are still encouraged to pre-order their needed items with the 2 vendors so that the items can be collected from the vendors in school with minimal waiting time.

Before coming to the school, please book an appointment slot at the following link:

Through the National Digital Literacy Programme (NDLP), all secondary school students will own a school-prescribed Personal Learning Device (PLD). Secondary one students would be invited to purchase a school-prescribed PLD. Singapore Citizen students can use their Edusave Account to pay for the PLD.

The PLD will be used in tandem with the national e-learning platform – the Singapore Student Learning Space (“SLS”) – as well as other educational technology tools to personalise and enhance students’ learning. This will also enable students to acquire digital skills and apply these skills as they navigate an increasingly digitalised world.

For more information on Kent Ridge Secondary’s NDLP, please refer to https://www.kentridgesec.moe.edu.sg/school-information/national-digital-literacy-programme-ndlp/

Details on the purchase of PLDs will be shared on a later date.

For parents of students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), the school's Senior SEN Officer will be reaching out to you via Parents Gateway.
