I don't like the man in the uniform shop. While fisherman hat is out of stock, he didn't tell me when (just a rough idea) it will be replenished...
While I was persuading my daughter to choose the ca ...

Mr Arthur is famous for his attitude. No one ever saw him smile and no one likes him.
Next time you go, see whether the parent volunteer helper is there. She is extremely helpful. I would rather not talk to Mr Arthur at all.

Well, his attitude is a little like the old days "公務員".  But what Icame across was that he was willing to help when I gave a reasonable request.  Maybe that was because I went to the shop during non-peak season (May 2008).  My impression on him isn't too bad.  I would say some of the ladies serving at the reception area should be more aware of their manner.  They are the very "frontline" staff of the school but their attitude on answering both face-to-face & telephone enquiries are not up to standard.

I never heard that the white sports tee will be phased out.  Where did the information come from?  Was that from the letter notice?

For the Year One student:
1) how many suits of uniform would you purchase?
3 sets of school uniform & 1 set of PE uniform.
Please label every piece of school uniform.
You may be informed of the house your kid belongsto. You can choose to buy the house-tee or the white sports tee whichwill be phased out after the school term 09/10.

My husband took my daughter for "shopping" at RC yesterday.

Thanks Almom and Saturn's comment.
My experience in dealing with the Reception Staff was ok.

Mr. Arthur : One day I will give you a good lesson! Hahahaha....

I felt sorry for blaming the lady (I didn't know she was a volunteer parent helper).
I think it is a bad idea to ask volunteer helping in the uniform shop...that supposed is making $$$ there, and troublesome parents (like me) are expecting some basic service there!

I still have a copy of the printed letter from school, date 23 March 2009.

Students can no longer wear the white sports tee for the school year of 2010-2011.

I never had problem with them too. Lucky me.

Go go go. Hahaha.

She has been helpling there for 2 years. She has a kid in primary school and she is always very polite and kind. She is ALWAYS there!
I do not know what kind of $$$ arrangement they have with the uniform manufacturer. But I know that Mr Arthur is only a ESF staff. He has basically no connection with the uniform manufacturer. So that explains why he does not really care how parents feel and has the same poker face all the time.
Heard that he used to work in the uniform shop of another ESF school. Lucky them......

He gets paid to do the job and suppose to get the job done!
I still think that uniform is not a proper position for parent volunteer.
Let me "try" the service of the uniform supplier when I'm buying kindergarten uniform for my son later (Atson Wilson - the same company as kindergarten uniform supplier!)

Saturn

He is an admin staff of RCHK.  His face shows in the staff list.

Fyi.  The uniform shop in Jordan is very small (if it never moved).  It would be very crowded during summer holiday.  I almost got out of breath when I purchased my kid's KG uniform there years ago.

thanks for your advice. I'll prepare some pure oxygen cylinders before visiting them.

I see!  To me, no expectation therefore no disappointment!  I deal with civil servants every day, they are just the same!!

Mr Arthur smiled to me when he gave me a "free" recycle bag (costs $10 originally) and he reminded me several times that the white T would be phased out in 2010.  

Don't bother with the frontline staff and don't take it for granted when you meet someone really nice and helpful.

Anyway, which house your kid belongs to?  Nice to meet you all.

Anything interesting that you can share?

I was 15 minutes earlier but i've forgotten everything before leaving the hall.
I only remembered the first 15 minutes was introducing the Year 1 related staff there and a "talk show" by Max. Any other parents could share?

You won't miss anything. We still have a couple of times gathering at PAC and listen to Mr. MAX through out the year. He'll repeat his jokes again and again ...

How, can I know? ...


My son is in RC for three years ...
