      my son and his friends were very blessed to have been taught by Mr Lam Nam Soon in their yr1-2 Euler class. In fact the picture in the wan bao article is of Mr Lam and part of that cohort taken in 2014. I hv spoken to him once before. He left a deep impression on me for he came across as very humble and compassionate.


      Everyone who has had the privilege of knowing him is deeply saddened by his demise.

      May he rest in peace.

        Question: what are the rules for school shoes for Yr 5/6? How much colour, what type of shoes, etc? My daughter needs new shoes soon, and I thought I’d just check as she will be wearing them into next year. Thanks!

            Can someone tell me what the rules actually say? Is there a specified min. percentage of white? Thanks!

              These days they are more relaxed with colors, as long as not outlandish or too bizarre


              Grey, blue, black … are ok

                Oh, so no minimum proportion of white? That's good - it will make it easier to look for shoes. It's always such a headache looking for something that fits all the requirements AND has enough white to satisfy school rules!

                  I do remember there was something said about \"at least 70% white\".. but when I look around in the school, seems that nobody follows! šŸ™‚

                    They are more tolerant. Real time feedback. Stand at bus stop and observe

                      Can be 70% white or 70% black. The other 30% can be ANY colour.
                      Standing at the bus stop to observe may not be a very accurate reflection of the school rule. As mentioned earlier, the school is quite lax when it comes to shoes. Students are known to wear the RIGHT clothes and shoes ONLY on spot check days, which they know when anyway. :evil:

                        Thanks for the extra info. So 70% of either black or white? My daughter likes to play safe and stick within the rules as far as possible.
