[quote=\"vlim\"]Oic ... :thankyou: mandymummy

based on the name list I saw last year, very few Chinese NOT taking HCL in sec 1

Oic.. I thought RI would have not 'too many' students taking hcl [/quote]just looked through the name list of 2011 Sec 1, about 16 taking CL, all in Class 1A (sports DSA class)...the rest are all HCL or other HMT or a handful got exemption

Most of the students will give HCL a shot in Year 1, even those who didn't do HCL in primary school. The temptation of not doing HCL in Year 5&6 is a big draw.

vlim is certainly efficient.. finished buying uniforms .. now on to shoes..

what they say is that students should wear shoes that are 'predominantly white'.. but many don't follow this rule, esp the seniors.

i guess your ds might start yr 1 with white shoes and progressively get more and more 'havoc' if he wants to..
