Recycling of Used AJC School Uniforms

We initiated a school uniform collection drive last December to collect and recycle your unwanted uniforms to your juniors who will need them more. The response is very positive, with as many as 5-6 boxes of mixed genders' uniforms collected.

Subsequently, we held a collection session on 28 January in Dance Stuidio for JC1 students eligible for Financial Assistance Scheme. Many students turned up during the event and among them, 9 students collected a total of 15 shirts / blouses, 15 skirts, 5 sets of PE attire and 2 AJC ties.

We would like to thank you for donating your unwanted school uniforms that have benefited your juniors with financial needs.
