An Interesting take on School Uniforms

At a Student Representative Council meeting in 2003, two suggestions were made by separate year 6 students.
That girls should be able to wear skirts

That the school uniform should include a collared, light blue shirt and that school ties should be worn

The issue of wearing a collar and tie was carried 28 to 2. Do children really want to wear a collar and tie?

Class votes were: Yes for ties in Winter No ties

 

Class	Yes for ties in Winter	No Ties
Young Starters	13	10
Kindergarten	19	4
Year 1	18	6
Year 1/2	23	6
Year 3	20	4
Year 4	15	7
Year 5	21	3
Year 6	16	3
Total	145	43

 

Is there a swing back to the different standards of a traditional uniform of the past? Is there a novelty factor to the children’s voting?
