CLARIFICATION: Raffles Press would like to clarify that we do not condone violations of RI’s Code of Conduct (COC). Our organisational description states that “we seek to conduct our work in line with Rafflesian values and ethos”. We would like to draw our readers’ attention to the following clauses of the COC (2012 Ed.)
6.1 “Students are to wear the prescribed school uniform and modification to the uniform is not allowed.”
6.2 “Students are expected to be smartly dressed when on the school premises in any public place.”
6.4 “All students are to ensure that their shorts/long trousers/skirts are not oversized or too tight. Students are to carry out any necessary alteration to ensure that they conform to the school’s standards.”
In other words, students should only alter but should not modify the school uniform.
Following a thorough review, we have found that the suggestions provided in the following article are consistent with the above clauses. Nonetheless, readers should bear these clauses in mind when reading the article. When in doubt, readers are advised to consult the COC. Readers may direct all queries to members of the School Discipline Committee.
