Just now in a rush at HCI....only got books and uniforms, but what about badge, name tags, shoes and socks?? Just books and uniforms (plus PE attire) already spent more than 300, good that in HCI, both the bookstores by Popular and uniforms supplier accepts credit cards.

HCI's school badge is to be purchased at the bookstore. No name tags required. Socks are normal white school socks (ankle socks not allowed) and shoes can be track shoes, as long as 70% is white, dark blue or black. No neon coloured markings.

Collar badge & sch buttons is in the booklist under stationery.
Btw,how many buttons are req for the shirt? I purchased 2 sets & was given 4pcs. :roll:

4 pcs of the silver buttons per white shirt … 2 at the shoulders and 2 at the chest pockets. HCI thread previously had a discussion as to the best way to affix the buttons… haha. I just sewed mine on, and lasted throughout the 3 years.

I find the quality of the uniform pretty bad...around pocket area is quite bad, almost got hole already and if just apply a bit of strength, sure tear. Dont think can last. It is too think also. The PE attire is much much better. Quite disappointed. Have to make a trip to change. I called but nobody answered. When will they open till end Dec?

I agree that the quality is not that great and the material is quite thin and looks like it will crumple easily. BTW, do they all take HMT by default ?

Another question is how many sets of uniforms and PE attire is required? No time table so hard to buy now. Currently, believe most parents bought 2 sets each as advised by the vendor. But somehow felt still not enough. Troublesome part are the badge and buttons, each wash have to remove and put back again... :slapshead: :slapshead:

I called the bookkshop around 10plus & was told the bookshop is open from 9-3pm (not sure is it just tomorrow or daily ).I am going to the bookshop tomorrow to buy extra set of PE attire (already bought 3sets) as the boys have to bring along extra PE t-shirt for the 4-day orientation as stated in the folder we had collected earlier... :roll:

hi HCI parents (maybe shld move to HCI thread).


All the boys do HMT. They have to wear the white shirt/khaki shorts to school Monday to Thursday, and change to PE attire for PE lessons. PE lessons are once a week (when my son was in Sec 1 (2014)). Fridays is their dress-down day, and they can wear PE/CCA/Class/School approved tshirt with Khaki shorts to school unless the school informs them otherwise.

Some CCAs (uniformed groups, sports) will require them to wear PE shirt for CCA, so you can adjust accordingly when you find out which CCA your son is joining.

As for the buttons, I sewed them on and they are fine. They haven’t rusted or come off, just became a bit bronze-colored. Just for reference, for the past 3 years, my ds has gotten by with 3 sets of white shirt/khaki shorts, and another 3 PE T and 2 PE shorts (black).

School bookshop is open 9-3 pm during term time.
