With RGS parents chatting here, I thought I entered the wrong school thread!


Hi, any experienced parents can advise how to get rid of Chinese calligraphy ink on the uniform? My sec 1 girl kena 4 dots across her white skirt during CNY eve 挥春. We soaked the skirt but those dots are still there :? and it is heart aching to discard the new uniform.

Oh no, I doubt it can be removed

maybe try using turpentine (turpentine is alcohol, can buy one bottle of turpentine around $1.50, from those \"wu jin dian\" store), rub over the black ink calligraphy spots first. In case the ink stain not absorbed by alcohol, try rubbing stain with a mixture of white vinegar or water and baking soda. Allow the fabric to absorb the mixture and then rub with tooth brush.

:salute:

Maybe some more of the tips recommended in the link below would work (some already mentioned by phtthp; and ignore the commercial products...)

Oh no! But it’s so new!

If all fails, wondering should I just discard it or continue to let her wear...

Turpentine is NOT alcohol.

Though they share some similar characteristics, they are different chemical compound meant for different purposes.

You will need alcohol to clean off the ink stains. Alcoholic swaps work if the stain is only a small drop, anything more or bigger, you will need to use rubbing alcohol (aka isopropyl alcohol). You can buy them from a pharmacy.

In case you aren’t share what to do with the balance of the alcohol, you can also spray it (undiluted) on your bed mattress to remove / prevent bed bugs, or mix it with Aloe Vera gel to make your own sanitizer, or make your own antiseptic wipe, or use it in massage to promote blood circulation. Alternatively, you can donate it to me

If it is not too obvious, just let her wear the uniform on days she has art, lab lessons ba… haha. Stains are inevitable…

can a Sec 1 NYGH student opt for Normal Chinese, don't take Higher Chinese in Year , all the way to Year 4, even if student had taken and passed PSLE (HCL) before, since NYGH is an IP school, go directly all the way upto Hwa Chong Junior College, hence no need to apply the 2 bonus points from HCL ?


or is it because NYGH is a SAP school, therefore it is compulsory to take Higher Chinese, from Sec 1 onwards ?

Nope. Unless you are in O level class. And if you do not score O level higher chinese B4 and above , you will need to take H1 Chinese in HCJC though MOE stated a pass is D7 and above
