Do the boys wear name tags? I was not told to order name tags at the uniform counter. I guess they don't wear?

No name tag unless you are in High School Council.

Thanks! Am so glad that there is no need to sew or iron any name tags for now. :rahrah:

We are unsure how to secure the collar pins and buttons… The 'holes’on the shoulder flap are so small… Wondering how do we force the buttons through… Can advise? Sorry to be asking such silly questions…

Hi mamabear,

Not at all a silly question!
You have to put the button through the hole, before inserting the ring to keep the button in place.
When you want to take it off, remove the ring first before taking the button out of the hole.

Rather tedious chore to do everyday at first, but with enough practice it should only take 1-2 minutes.

There are also some people who rather sew the button onto the shirts to save time, but hey, I think it's a good shared experience to have with other students and also somewhat trains responsibility

EDIT: School collar pin is supposed to be on the wearer's left-hand side (i.e. Place it on the right-hand side when uniform is facing you) The chain can be tucked into the hole meant for the button. There isn't really a guideline as to where on to exactly place the collar pin, just estimate will do.

Hope this helps!

Yes, you do. Together with the shoulder buttons there should be 4 buttons in total.

Hope this helps

Thanks! So as long as not from Gep in pri school, he won't be in Ispark?

I know some who weren't GEP but still admitted to iSpark, but I'm not sure how it's allocated. In previous years, I heard those not from GEP but possibly allocated into iSpark will be notified and briefed on registration day

my understanding is non-geppers may still be considered for ispark if they hv got in thru dsa and their psle results are good provided ispark still has vacancies after admitting all geppers posted/dsaed to the sch.

Hi, the sec 1 parent symposium clashes with our CCC award ceremony. Wonder if any parents can advise if it is necessary to attend the parent symposium, or should i skip the CCC award instead? Thanks
