Uniform
Nanyang Primary's girls' uniform is quite similar to Nanyang Girls' High School's; the only two differences are the font of the Chinese characters "南洋", as well as the small slits at the side edges of the uniform. It comprises a white sleeveless cotton blouse with a nametag, and an accordion-pleated cotton skirt, which is long enough to cover the knees. Name-tags are ironed on.
Previously, Nanyang Primary girls were required to keep hair short enough not to touch their collars, unless they have a hair-pass that can be acquired in the form of a letter from their dance or ballet teacher. Even so, they had to keep their hair neatly tied or the hair-pass would be taken from them. They are now allowed to have long hair without special permission but hair must still be tied with black, dark blue or brown rubber bands and hair clips.
Male students wear a white short-sleeved shirt with the school logo sewn on, requiring only the ironing-on of the name-tag. With this they wear khaki short trousers with white socks.
Shoes worn to school must be white-based. Socks have to be white and must cover the ankles. The only design allowed on school socks is the Nanyang Crest.
The collared House PE attire is standard for both genders, consisting of the Nanyang logo on it, and the names of all four houses (the Chinese characters of the motto) at the back of the shirt.
Pupils holding special positions (Discipline Monitor, Environment Monitor or Prefect) wear sashes - Discipline Monitors wear purple sashes, Prefects blue (Head Prefect wears red and Vice Head Prefect wears orange) and Environment Monitors green.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“The maples
Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“An accent mark, perhaps, instead of a whole western accent—a point of punctuation rather than a uniform twang. That is how it should be worn: as a quiet point of character reference, an apt phrase of sartorial allusion—macho, sotto voce.”
—Phil Patton (b. 1953)
“He may be a very nice man. But I haven’t got the time to figure that out. All I know is, he’s got a uniform and a gun and I have to relate to him that way. That’s the only way to relate to him because one of us may have to die.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
