PLD Procurement
Purchase of Personal Learning Device (PLD)
The Personalised Digital Learning Programme (PDLP) for all secondary school students requires every student to own a school-prescribed Personal Learning Device (PLD).
BVSS has selected the Apple iPad 10.9 10th Gen as its PLD offering for S1 2025. The device comes with 3 years of warranty and insurance coverage and includes the following accessories; Logitech Rugged Combo 4 (casing & keyboard) and Apple Pencil (USB-C).
Please complete the application form through the FormSG link provided through Parents Gateway or you may click here by 17 January 2025 to ensure that the procurement process could go according to schedule. When filling up the form, please ensure you enter your child's/ward's full name, NRIC and class correctly.
The school encourages parents to authorise the option for students to collect the device, so that your child/ward can collect it together with his/her classmate in school.
A briefing on PDLP will be done on S1 Parent Day.
Should you have a change in your email address, do update it in the Parents Gateway(PG) app. Information on the registration for the DMA will be sent via PG on a later date.

Financial Assistance
Subsidies are available to students who require financial assistance. Singapore Citizens who are already on MOE FAS or School-based FAS will automatically qualify for these subsidies and do not need to take any action.
Permanent Residents (PR) and International Students (IS) who need support can apply for subsidies, particularly those whose Gross Household Income (GHI) is below $4400 or Per Capita Income (PCI) is below $1100. If your child qualifies for a subsidy, please submit this form to the General Office by 13 Jan 2025.
