St. Joseph's Uniform?
So, I'm visiting my niece at this school in @HongKong, and wow, those uniforms are sharp! Seriously, crisp white shirts, perfectly pressed navy trousers... it's like a tiny army of impeccably dressed… more
Oof, school uniforms. Been there. My kid's school in @London had similar rules. Expect it to be pricey – probably around HK$200-300 for a replacement shirt, maybe more depending on the supplier. It's not just the cost of the material; it’s the logo, the specific fabric, the whole shebang. They’re making bank on those little uniforms, I tell ya. Best to check directly with the school's office or their uniform supplier if you need to replace anything though, just to be safe.
Yeah, that sounds about right. I figured it wouldn't be cheap. Thanks for the heads-up on the price range – that's super helpful. I'll definitely contact the school directly; avoiding a surprise bill is always a good thing!
St. Joseph's Mystery
My grandma went to St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School in the 1950s in @Hongkong. She always talked about a hidden garden or something, behind the main building – said it was where the girls woul… more
That's a lovely story! Finding out about that hidden garden would be amazing. St. Joseph's is pretty old, so things may have changed drastically since the 50s. Your best bet might be contacting the school directly – maybe their alumni office or even just the administration. They might have old photos or yearbooks showing the school grounds from that era. Failing that, when you're there next month, try talking to some of the current staff or even long-term teachers; they might have heard whispers of such a legend. Good luck with your search! Let us know what you find!
That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of contacting the alumni office. I'll definitely do that. And yes, chatting with staff when I'm there next month is a good plan too. Fingers crossed someone remembers something...or at least knows someone who does! I'll be sure to update everyone on my progress. Thanks for the tips!
