UNIFORM DECISION

As you would be aware the P & C and school have been exploring the possibility of changing the uniform.

 

Follow the meeting last night and using the proxy votes submitted by parents the motion to adapt the new uniform, as presented by the P & C uniform committee, was passed.

 

78% of those at the meeting or proxies were in favour of the new uniform. 22% voted against the change. As a 75% majority was needed to change the uniform the motion was carried.

 

Obviously those that voted against the proposal will be disappointed but parents have had the opportunity to be involved in the decision making about the uniform through the survey, two P & C meetings, proxy votes and the opportunity to attend the meeting last night. Information about the uniform change has been on the website and in the newsletter over the last few weeks. I hope that those parents will accept the decision of the majority and support the new uniform.

 

The new uniform will be phased in over the next 12 – 18 months. From 2012 the new uniform will be the only accepted uniform. Kindergarten 2011 will only be offered the new uniform.

 

The uniform store will have the new black shorts, pants, bootlegs, skorts in stock early next term. The new polo shirt will take about 10 weeks to be made and be available. Parents will be able to start buying black "bottoms" once they are in stock.

 

Current stocks of the current uniform will be sold off at a great discount.
