I've called the office this morning and staff told me that they are looking into changing orientation dates and times... might be 5 days. They will update after Christmas.

The message is out. Orientation is now 5 days from 830-3pm. Does anyone know what is khaki shorts?

The khaki shorts is part of the school uniform for Sec 1 to 3 boys.

Can I ask? Are the pockets not "usable"? Cos we realized the button holes are too small to "button up" the metal button… Can advise?

My boy's side pockets are \"usable\". I sewed the brass button on lower pocket. If the buttonhole on flap is too small, u may wanna use a small scissors to snip the middle part till it fits the brass button.

Hope I'm not confusing u.

I already pinned the brass button to the lower pocket, but have problem with the upper one (the portion that flips down). We tried to explore the snipping of the button holes, but we think that it may damage the button holes to make it big enough for the button. You tried and it's ok?

Is there anyone here whose child is taking French as 3rd language in Sec 1 next year?

my son’s shirt pockets are not usable. haha. We permanently sewed the buttons on to minimise the trouble of taking them on/off.


Socks - just has to be around ankle height - those from Bata work fine. No need football socks.
