Hi parents,


we are told by teachers during school orientation day that child’s name need to be appear on the uniform which we are requested to order the tags(name sew on the clothes tag)…but maximun characters to appear is 15… In this case, would you all consider to put their chinese name without their christain name on … example, Crystal Chee or Chee Wen Ming?

Thanks.

I put my kids' name in the tag as follows: \"Crystal Chee W. M.\" - as we mostly refer to their Christian names.

Hi parents


thanks for the input…
reason why I enquiry because I do not want to them to miss their chinese name as well…
what is your rationale for putting intial example CRYSTAL CHEE W.M. instead if CRYSTAL CHEE … would placing initial help?

Yes, because you will find that there are many Crystal Chees around, esp if you have a very common Christian name and surname.

exactly and i really wish they can allow us to insert all the name but unfortunatley not… and intially I was thinking does intial helps as nobody would know what is W.M. unless they know the student or they ask…

thanks for your advise…

Did you realise that the kids actually had a little assessment worksheet while they were with their form teacher during the orientation. My girl told me she did a 20-question paper on maths…

[uicbg]

yes, they have. My girl told me she went through some questions… and I gather this is for the teachers to know how the individual kid fare in the class so that they know their individual strength & weakness… we are supposed to fill the form for returning to the form teacher as well…
