[quote=\"timtim\"]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.

Same rule applied for ACS (I). It's very difficult to get sports / track shoes with 70% white these days. Unless you go for canvas or school shoes. Any body managed to find any good ones? Searched IMM & Vivo yesterday. Couldn't find any suitable ones.[/quote]it doesn't seem that 70% white rule is strictly enforced, in school videos and pictures i see kids with shoes much less than 70% requirement, at least from acs i. So it may be more strictly enforced in some schools and less in others.

Reported to secondary school today. Scorching hot day.

After buying the books, went over to get uniforms....the queue was so long, the operations manager told us it could easily take 2 hours before our turn which is possible. He asked me to go another another day and I was like, \"huh? No way, have to settle this whole thing today.\" So we went down to bras basah complex shop instead. It was a mess there were 3 queues inside that small shop.
Took us half a day.
Now left with washing and ironing. We are ready for sec 1.

Our school also had long queues. We bought new PE uniforms yesterday. The regular uniform remains the same (affiliated IJ school) so we bought new school badges that I'll iron onto her primary school pinafores.
We ordered textbooks, socks, and stationery online at the Pacific Bookstores web site.

HCI is much more organised...I was really impressed. The books one side, paid and take (pre-packed), school uniforms/PE attire the other side, go into the 3 queues available, 1st stop is someone will do measurement then proceed to collect and pay. I was there early and everything was over in less than 30 mins. Registration part was non event too, much to our surprised.

for son’s secondary school, shoes supposed to be 80% white. managed to get a pair of reebok (80% white/grey) from royal sporting house IMM. the other place you can check out would be mustaffa. i was shocked to see so many shoes of all brands and colours. there are also white colour reebok shoes there.


for daughter’s school yesterday, there were 2 queues for purchase of textbooks - 1 queue is for complete set while the other is to get certain titles.

even though it’s affiliated secondary, the blouse is different. primary side blouse uses buttons but secondary is the press on type…PE attire and socks are different.
