Staff Take on the Students in Uniform Debate

There was plenty of energy, enthusiasm and lively argument as staff and students went head-to-head in a special lunch time debate on the topic: “That school uniforms do more harm than good.”

Taking the affirmative stance, our staff debating team argued that school uniforms can limit students’ individuality, restrict personal expression and place unnecessary pressure on families. They made a compelling case that students should have greater freedom to express their personalities and develop their own sense of identity. Mr Gallagher bought along his guitar, whilst Ms Knight and Ms Galloway opted to dress in school uniform and even tracksuit pants! Our student team had the challenge of defending the value of school uniforms, highlighting the importance of equality, school pride, belonging and a shared sense of identity.

Congratulations to Angus Jewell, Matilda Matthews and Stella Egberts who convincingly won this debate. It was wonderful to see staff and students engaging in such a fun exchange of ideas.
