This year the school has changed the option of wearing navy blue tracksuit pants to school and has only allowed wearing trousers.Students claim they do not feel comfortable/confident in wearing these pants. It can make students stressed out and worried about what people think, which can affect their learning. “Teachers are allowed to wear basically want ever they like” stated many students. For teachers to already be allowed to have unnatural coloured hair and non-clear piercings already isn’t fair on students. Sometimes coming to school not wearing the correct uniform can lead to students being trapped in an office all day which honestly isn’t very fair. If you would just allow tracksuit pants back into the uniform students would rebel as much against the rule. In the end we are just fighting for us to keep warm. With winter coming around the corner you still choose to ban any other pants than trousers. When female students inform teachers about them not having the correct pants you suggest tights for them under the skirts and dresses which really doesn’t help since they are so thin but then you don’t have a second option for the male students, which tracksuit pants could solve. If Emerald Secondary Collage wants to be known as the school that cares more about uniform than education and letting students excel in their learning then I suggest you keep this horrible rules and allow more students to freeze.

My granddaughter is not rebelling for the sake of free or uncontrolled dress. She is doing what her mother had told her to do. To keep warm for the sake of her health, which does affect her attendance at school. Surely her education is number one priority here?!
this is disgusting the amount of kids freezing because they cannot afford to buy all this new uniform this school cares more about uniform than education and its messed up
About time this has been brought to attention time to realise this is a public school NOT private!!! We live in the hills its freezing up here why be so concerned about something that was once a part of uniform ? I thought the kids looked smart in this uniform. Why let our kids freeze? Wake up Guys.
I think we need the tracksuit pants because who would want to wear them for sport. The girls only have summer dresses and winter skirt. The boys have to wear shorts. The tracksuit pants are so popular and the parents payed so much for them. So please bring them back!!
I had worn them at the start of the year and got in trouble, even tho my legs and arms wear covered in goosebumps every other day. Bring 'em back !
yes

When I went to emerald - our uniform was amazing! Emerald is not a private school - they should stop being so tough on the uniform. I've heard stories of students being suspended for not wearing the appropriate shoes/pants! Get a grip! Emerald should worry more about the welfare and the level of education the students get than their uniform!
