Sorry for confusing you. My friend’s son not studying in DLS, I think DLS is using white shoes and socks.

Hi Anna, thanks for your clarification. I think Unity uses "black" shoe and sock.

Hi mommies,


Good morning!
I always salute people with 3 kids and yet working full time....
Already with 2 kids I dunno how to manage them with working
full time.....

Anyway, to confirm -> DLS kids wear white shoes & socks...

I think I will stick to 2 sets each for both uniform & PE attire.
If I am not wrong, in those days they have PE, they r allowed
to wear the PE attire for the whole day. So it makes life simpler
since we have 4 sets of both uniform & PE attire. And along the year,
the kid's size changes, so we can then buy bigger size instead of
buying 3/4 sets straight away. dunno la....this is my opinion lor...

[Anna Ng]

I totally agreed with baby2momma. I will only buy 2 sets each. FYI, my friend told me, for P1 students, in those days they have PE, and they are allowed to wear PE attire for the whole day but not for P2 onward (where they have to change back to uniform after PE). I recalled that there was a discussion said that for Kranji PS, the P1 students are allowed to wear PE attire fr Mon to Fri as no uniform is available for P1. This is really good as can save some money and ironing time.


Have your get the books and school bag already?

Dear mvelle09, your second princess is same age with my girl also, so our sons will be in the same school and same class (St Gabriel, right?) and wondering whether our girls will be in the same class or not? how u got in DLS? via balloting?

[baby2momma]

no la - Mvelle09's girl is in the same class as my boy....

St Elizabeth, right??

And Mvelle's youngest princess is the same age as my girl too
so all our kids will be school/class mates....... :celebrate:

and ya lor - maybe you can tell us how u got into DLS???
U know, Anna and me & a few other mommies \"knew\" each
other over this forum during the battle of the P1 registration....
it sure is memory for us..... :love: right, Anna??

To Anna ; yes, I hv got all the books & bag & uniform....
we r almost ready to start school !!! except for shoes la....

Hi Anna, thanks for your clarification. I think Unity uses \"black\" shoe and sock.

Yew Tee Primary uses black shoes and socks.

Anna Ng:

Cannot take MC as preparing for external audit. Anyway, i can rest in the company's \"recreation room\", with nice sofa and privacy; just lock myself inside the room and nap.

Wah, got recreation room.. :love:
I imagine an air-conditioned room
with OSIM chairs and those iSqueeze
thingies for tired calves and feet esp
for mummies having to wear heels!
Can get some recharge time in there..

Anna Ng:

I also quite puzzled about the PE attire and the uniforms? i saw some parents bought 3 sets each and i wondering whether need to. Maybe i will get 3 sets uniforms and 2 sets PE attire. My friend is \"QUITE\" lazy, she said she has 5 sets uniforms for his son, and only wash them once a week. And 2 pairs of shoes (black) and only wash them every 2 weeks:!: Maybe the experience mum like buds can give advice.

Of course can, Anna.

For starters parents can get 2 sets of each first.
Especially if you haven't gone for the orientation
yet. There were parents who asked what's the
typical timetable for P1... like how many days
of PE lessons in a week and so on.

P1 classes wud usually have like 3 PE periods in
a week. So if you are the kinda who only wash
during weekends or 3 to 4 days stretch, you wud
need more than 2 definitely.

I bought 3 sets of each. 2 sets upfront during the
orientation and another set of each PE and normal
attire after i received the timetable... first week into
school.

2 sets of shoes. One plain velcro-strapped school
shoe and one sporty shoe for PE (more comfortable
for PE days where kiddies have running and jumping
to do). 3 packs of socks as well. I bought those from
Bata packs where they have 2 pairs in one pack.

Around after SA1 period say July or August thereabouts
DD gained some weight and height so needed another
pair of PE attire. The waist bands from the shorts were
getting a wee bit tight for her. School pinafore also a
bit shorter but it doesn't matter as it still conforms to
school's desired skirt/pinafore length.

Anna Ng:

Yes, is detox. The most torturing part is need to keep changing the bed sheet for the girl cos the \"motion\" -------. Whole night busy with the motion & vomiting.

I really hope you're feeling better.
It's no fun being sick like that.

So exciting, found some many helpful cyber friends. :celebrate: This is really important to me B'cos i am Malaysian ( Hubby - converted S'porean ) so really dun know much about the demanding education system in S'pore :shock: .

My Girl = St Elizabeth, Director House ( Blue ), she wanted to have \"Pink\" color PE entire but too bad !!!

DLS – Right opposite my block so it is the definite choice. Got in via balloting, Hubby was there to witness while I was praying hard overseas. Heard from him, it was quite a scary scene.

For shoes and socks - i will get it from Bata in M'sia around December, kind of same quality but much cheaper leh. BTW, for Sport shoe - must it be white ?

[buds]

If the school has decided on white shoes

and white socks then if you’re getting a
pair of sports shoes, it should also be
white.
