Of the 30 secondary schools to merge from 2016 to 2018, 24 have been featured in 'My School Uniform'.

The 24 secondary schools featured in the book, that is listed above will be gone by the year of 2018, as they will be merging with other existing schools. One reason is due to the falling cohort sizes.

Yix Quek’s book, My School Uniform, retails at S$28.50 from major book stores such as Kinokuniya, Basheer Books, Popular Bookstore and Times.

'My School Uniform' is available at Kinokuniya from 13 June 2016 onwards.
Hold on to the memories of your past school days by grabbing your copy of this photo book.

The work features over 365 pages of uniforms from 142 secondary schools in Singapore, and was inspired by street photography and books like Humans Of New York that are filled with profiles and interviews. “I thought that it would be interesting to cast school uniforms in that light. Photography, I feel, is the right medium to help bring out the content. It captures the human touch and documents school life at a particular point of time.
Each school has a write-up of its history (For instance, Nan Hua Secondary School only allowed girls in dance club to have long hair back in the day) and a profile of interesting programmes they offer such as aviation and judo which might appeal to potential students. It can be a nice catalogue for them.
School badges are an essential part of the uniforms, a special section analyses these badges to reflect the changes in Singapore’s education programme. It cites how there were technical schools in the 60s and 70s unlike today and those school badges would include designs of gears, cogwheels and hammers.
