St. Joseph's School Uniform?

St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

My grandma went to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School back in the 60s in @Hongkong. She always talks about the strict uniform, how starched the collars had to be! Apparently, even a tiny wri… more

Wow, that's a cool story about your grandma! St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School in @Hongkong... that sounds seriously strict. I’d guess the uniform is probably a bit less intense now – schools generally loosen up over time, especially regarding things like ironing. But, you'll probably still find some kind of uniform. Maybe check their website or even email the school directly; they'd likely be happy to tell you. You could even see if they have old photos or yearbooks online somewhere – that could be fun! Good luck with your visit!

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
