Hi,


Any parents here have kids in dance society?

It has come to our attention that as long as the girls are not properly attired, they will get push ups punishment and it is issued from seniors like sec 2 and up. They hunt and do checks on the sec 1 girls on daily basis and when they issue push ups, they are not supposed to tell the sec 1 girls that they clocked push ups. In this case, how would the sec 1 know they have mistakes? Wonder does the sec 1 boys in dance society has any punishment so far?

When I mentioned properly attired -
1. It means they need to be in super neat French braids that starts from crown and end off the tail (where they tie the rubberband) with less than middle finger length.
2. Bangs will need to be tie up (not sure how it can be incorporated into French braid), any stray hair all need to be clipped up (If girls have layered hair that will also means her head will end up with more then 5-15 clips)
3. School skirt cannot be 3 fingers above knee (this rule we understand and we can comply)
4. No ankle socks (this rule we understand and can comply too but the senior herself is also wearing ankle socks as well)
5. Last rule that I just got know - rude to seniors will also get push ups, if girls roll eyes also get push ups (frankly, how is the judgement done and very subjective??) :shock:

Being new in school it will also means that the girls will need time to learn how to do French braids (they insist no dutch braids allowed as per dance society) by themselves. We all know that this hairstyle is not easy especially for people who does not braid their hair in primary school and it may take months to master it. The girls are only assigned and gone for 1 cca session last Thursday and to-date they have clocked more than 300+ push ups. :yikes:

It is causing unnecessary stress on the girls. Any other sec 1 parent here having this problem?

I see, thanks

guess there might be a good mix of different schools in a class then.

Does anyone know how the kids are segregated into classes for secondary 1 and other levels? Is it by merit or name alphabetical order?

Is there a restriction on the length of the skirt?

Must it go below knee (seems very long) or it should be knee length?

[quote=\"BB\"]Can I check.. for secondary 1 - they will choose either HCL or CL?


It will not be like primary school where they need to take both HCL and CL right?

Correct, take 1 only

Is it on voluntary basis if the child is eligible to take HCL? How would we decide and buy text books accordingly?[/quote]suspect the school will talk about this tomorrow session so will buy accordingly. no idea as well.

Oh hahaha.


That will be pretty stressful if mummy is not ard. Hmm.

Winx Club:

In many secondary schools, the students have to change back to full uniform during recess. This is for hygiene purposes. Yup it's very troublesome to tie the hair into French Plaits. My gal took 3 months to master the technique. Now she can tie the hair with her eyes closed.

hmmm so what happens in the initial few months or weeks? how will they braid? can they report to school for the first week in ponytail?

Tokidoki:

Mine is boy too so I’m not sure if they conduct lesson for hair braiding. According to TV pgm, seems to have seniors teaching the juniors.


So far din hear my boy complain abt changing back. Since is school rules, just follow bah.

No school socks, just plain white.

:thankyou:

yeah that’s very strict! troublesome to change also. they should allow half U.


heard about the hairstyle… stressful! so girls must learn to tie it themselves too.
what about new students, do they give them chance to learn in the first week coz not all are used to that kind of tying? I am sure there will be load stray hair sticking out as I see some girls have pins all over. quite messy in fact.

oh by the way, I assume they need to be in pure white shoes? must it be school socks or we can do normal white socks?
