May I know if RI allows students to wear just white school or any specific colour kind of track school and socks?

ignore what firefly38 said. you can only wear white socks, be it ankle socks or normal socks. as for shoes, your shoe must be at least 70% white with white shoe laces.

The boys wear white shoes, of course.. but a little design, with some coloured stripes at the sides, is certainly acceptable..
Gosh, hope that works out to your '70% white'..

Yes, socks and shoe laces must be white too.. But you forgot to mention must be '100% white'..

Ya, my DS also wore 100% white shoes (with white shoe laces) and white socks, when he was in Sec-1.. But DS says he wants to wear sports shoes (predominantly white, with a few colour stripes) when he goes to Sec-2 next year.. I ask DS if it is acceptable in school, DS says yes..

That's why I say \"preferable white socks & shoes (& white shoe laces) for the Year 1s (Sec-1s must be 乖乖 ma ).. But a little colour is certainly acceptable for the older boys (but I still do not know how to ensure that it is at least 70% white)..

Welcome to RI.. Does your DS like to Gong Toh Li too? Haha!!

His knows entering sec school means transition, physically and emotionally, haha, he still enjoys being a kid, want only white white shoes, not so willing to upsize his shirt and slippers,... to him teenagers are like strange people, . .
