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:
“I’ve always been impressed by the different paths babies take in their physical development on the way to walking. It’s rare to see a behavior that starts out with such wide natural variation, yet becomes so uniform after only a few months.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“The sugar maple is remarkable for its clean ankle. The groves of these trees looked like vast forest sheds, their branches stopping short at a uniform height, four or five feet from the ground, like eaves, as if they had been trimmed by art, so that you could look under and through the whole grove with its leafy canopy, as under a tent whose curtain is raised.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We know, Mr. Weller—we, who are men of the world—that a good uniform must work its way with the women, sooner or later.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
