Best school uniform?

mommyNg:
When it is time to choose secondary school?
Why 6 years later leh....?Busymom:
Hmm... fortunately not really. If I have all girls, I probably would have chosen SCGS over her current school, but fact is, I have a DS too, don't want to go through another round of P1 registration headache when his turn comes. We are staying within 1km of SCGS, and if we had wanted it, we could actually get in during P2B for DD.
Maybe you can ask me again 6 years later...

I saw an old class photo of my 80-year old aunt. The NYGH uniform didn't look any different.Happy Mama:
I wonder why NYGH must have their uniform sleeveless and the entire uniform in white. Not too practical for girls as they may tend to stain their skirts during their monthly cycle. For the top, white and sleeveless some more. See through never mind, still can peep in. :slapshead:
Could it be their heritage? I think there are a couple of Chinese schools which have all white uniforms too right? All-white is very impractical. Especially after a Chinese calligraphy class.
I have friends who decided not to send their girls to NYGH because of the uniform. -

Did you ever regret it when you had to register your dd for P1? (Assuming your have a dd)

Then I was like your sister... I didn't choose SCGS because of its sleeveless uniform (I was ultra conservative!) even though I lived like 5 minutes walk away...

Crescent girls do wear ties leh....(once a week)
Lol I went to Cedar n my sister went to Crescent!mommyNg:
Yeah, and prefects at Crescent wear tie...
Cedar skirt is more A-line, while Crescent skirt is pleated n more flare. I remember my sister worked really hard to be chosen as a prefect in sec 3 cos she wanted to wear a tie, just like me :).... We once thought of exchanging tie for a one day, but no guts to act it out cos both our schools had super fierce discipline mistresses :yikes:
ya.....super stern-looking discipline master,
always on stand-by mode to take down the names of those who were not following closely the school rules..... -

As far as I can tell from the old, grainy, B/W photo....no changes at all.
