What Secondary stationery actually changes

Secondary stationery is less about pencils and more about file management. The Casio FX-95SG Plus is the calculator most schools require for O-Level Math and Sciences.

The new essentials

  • Scientific calculator — Casio FX-95SG Plus is the MOE-approved standard. Buy once for 4 years.
  • Geometry set — used in Math (constructions) and Tech / Design lessons.
  • Lever arch files — one per major subject (Math / Science / English / MTL).
  • File dividers — separates topics within a subject.
  • Highlighters (4 colours) — colour-coding lecture notes is real now.

Schools usually supply

  • Subject textbooks + workbooks (via bookshop, separate cost).
  • PE attire.
  • Practical lab notebooks for Science.

What stays from primary

  • Pens (blue + black, 0.5-0.7mm).
  • Pencils + eraser + ruler (still used in Math).
  • Correction tape (white-out fluid is messier).

Watch-outs

  • Sale-grade FX-95SG knockoffs exist — buy from a known retailer (Popular, NLB-supplier, established Shopee seller).
  • Liquid white-out is messy and slow-drying — correction tape is universally preferred.
  • Mechanical pencils with 0.5mm leads break constantly under exam pressure — keep regular 2B as backup.

Frequently asked

  • Is Casio FX-95SG Plus really the only model?
    It's the most common MOE-approved model. The full approved list is on SEAB — check seab.gov.sg/approved-calculators before buying.
  • Will my child use a graphing calculator?
    Not in secondary. Graphing calculators (TI-84 Plus CE) are for JC H2 Math. O-Level Math is scientific calculator only.
  • Lever arch vs ring binder?
    Lever arch holds more paper and survives 4 years. Ring binders for small subjects only.
  • Do I need to buy a school diary?
    Most schools issue a school diary in week 1. Don't pre-buy.
