Dear Editor,
PARENTS and students from
the St Francis Convent Primary School are furious and disappointed over the
late notice which was distributed on the 11/01/13 by the school management
which is headed by the principal. This is in regards to change of physical
education (PJK) uniform, standardise name tags and school badge.
Angry parents questioned,
why wasn't the official notice distributed at the end of school term last year
instead? Why now, its almost middle on January 2013? Most parents had purchase
uniforms with embroidery school badges and name tags and at the same time
purchasing the sports uniform from a uniform shop at Asia City in Kota
Kinabalu.
Most parents we made to
understand by the school teachers that this particular shop is the supplier and
all this while parents have been channelled to this shop for many years now. If
there are any changers, the school management should inform the parents way
before the end of last year.
Not all parents can afford
to purchase these uniforms for the second time and it is a burden to many,
especially Chinese New Year is also round the corner. Parents are seeking the
kind consideration of the head mistress to postpone this new ruling till next
year.
The school management and
the ministry of education should be more sensitive and considerate towards all
parents. Not all are 'RICH' The school management led by the principal should
have announce this early last year in order for all parents to carry out proper
arrangement so that parents will not have to put their hard earned money to
waste.
Parents are not objecting to
this new ruling as the school management wants all students to have uniformed
attire. It is a good move, however, ample time and early notice must be given
to the parents. Parents also urge the Parents Teachers Association (PIBG) to
assist in this matter for the interest of all.
Best Regards,
BOB RAJAH
