QBS Summer Uniform

angelsnowy

My daughter is going to a Year 1 student in QBS next school year. I have just received the information regarding the purchase of summer uniform in QBS and realized there are quite a lot of items to buy.

Could any parents of QBS students share your experience and let me know which items are compulsory/practical/impractical to buy?

I particularly want to know the following:

1. I saw from the QBS pix that most students are wearing short sleeves blouse+ culottes. Is it a must to buy the summer dress as well? Do they serve the same purpose? Or in which circumstances are summer dress/blouse+culottes required to wear?

2. How many days of a week are they required to wear uniform and PE uniform in general? Do you have any suggestion on how many set of uniform/PE uniform to buy?

3. Are the house colors assigned by the school and to be known on induction day? Will sibling entered afterwards usually be assigned in the same house or upon request?

4. Are white socks to be worn with both summer uniform and PE uniform? Any specific requirement on the length and design?  

5. Are QBS school bag, raincoat and the Eco-friendly book bag compulsory to buy? If not, any restriction if I want to buy these from outside?

I would be grateful if anyone could share their experience so I can buy the appropriate items! Thanks a lot!

Also, 6. Are they supposed to wear black leather shoes (are black sports shoes acceptable, too?)for uniform and white sports shoes for PE uniform? Any specific requirement?

We will be traveling overseas for most of the summer vacation so we would love to know and prepare them earlier so we don't have to rush when we come back. Thanks!

路過……my daughter went to QBS years ago.
1. Summer dress = blouse + culottes, there is no need to buy both unless ur daughter wants both.
2. Not sure. I seem to recall they had a PE bag to carry the kit. For washing purposes, should buy 2 sets of normal uniform and 2 sets of PE kit.
3. Don't know
4. Yes, always white socks. Short white socks are more comfortable in the summer.
5. Don't know
6. To be on the safe side: black leather shoes + white sports shoes.

Iamworkingmama & ky_lau, my daughter's name is Hermione. What are your gals' names?  I'm also curious which schools are they from?

Let's see if our gals will be destined to be in the same class and be friends in the future~

You are welcome. Also, it doesn't matter if you are missing some items, i think the PTA shop is open during school hours for further purchases.

My daughter is going to be in Y1 this summer, too. Basically this is my understanding in terms of uniform, correct me if I am wrong.

Girl on the left: short sleeve blouse with culottes

Girl on the right: summer dress

Girls are supposed to wear black leather shoes with white socks


Girls at the upright corner: P.E. T-shirt with P.E. shorts, white sneakers and white socks are required


I've no idea about the sweatshirt and knitted vest though.

Thank you bomani!
So which one should we buy? Sleeveless dress or blouse + culottes? Or either one of them is ok?

I would say I'll go with the blouse and culottes first.

So which school is your daughter studying right now?

It would be nice if we all keep in touch and join the group chat ky_lau suggested, be friends and remind each other the latest news from QBS~

angelsnowy

Anyone got any idea if there's an elastic band on the waist of the culottes?
