The year 12 Jackets are something special. As far as I thought, they were something for the grade which brings about their memories of their final year of schooling. However, these memories have been limited to 1 day a week for 2 terms, which is detrimental to the purpose of these jackets (mentioned above). But I believe that the board has a different view to the purpose of the Year 12 Jackets. Although they were indeed something to hold memories by, they were more to find a distinction from the Year 11 and 12's. This use would be further fulfilled if these Jackets were worn throughout the week. The main argument against allowing weekly use for the Jackets is that they are too informal. The reasoning behind this is that we would prefer a high-class look (blazers) over the Jackets, as this would make us 'look better' and therefore bring in more families to our school. Also, having blazers satisfies parents who are spending so much on the school fees and would like their students to look good. This is rather ridiculous, as they are paying over what the school charges on normal school fees to buy the blazer, which isn't cheap at all. But the reason why parent's still buy the blazers is because THEY GET USED OFTEN. the amount of use the blazers get for the price IS WORTH THE MONEY. Here's some statistics: With the average blazer being worn for 2 years, and 4 days a week for 38 weeks (the amount of weeks in 4 winter terms), you get a usage of 152 days. With a price of $185, you get a usage/price of $1.22 for every day that you use the blazer. Compare this to the Jacket, you get to wear it for 1 day per week, and since the class of 2021 acquired them in week 4, they have 25 weeks left to wear them. They get a total of 25 days to wear, compared to their price of 110, parents must pay $4.40 EVERY DAY THAT THEY ARE WORN. Without a doubt, this shows us that this jacket is NOT worth the money for the amount of usage. This is silly, and logically doesn't make sense. However, if

I've been at WCCS since Kindergarten and have always looked forward to being able to wear those traditional Year 12 Jackets. This jacket is a symbol of the 13-year journey all students have worked hard to get through. It is utterly disgusting that we pay $110 for these jackets - $10 of this sum doesn't even go towards the jackets but to the school! We will be paying an absurd amount of money for these jackets and we deserve to be able to utilise these to the best of their ability. The fact that we can only wear them once a week is embarrassing. Not just embarrassing for the students - embarrassing for our school as a whole. Moreover, the jackets can be designed to look formal, in fact, most of them have already looked formal. These jackets fit better and look better than the blazers we have to buy and wear every winter day. Not to mention that two out of the four terms we get to wear these jackets will be during summer. Through thorough calculations we have deduced that students in Year 12 can only wear their 110 dollar jackets 38 times during our Year 12 life and this only if they are bought and delivered by the start of our Term 1 of Year 12. If we divide the cost of the jacket by the wear time which is once a week on a Tuesday we get $2.89. This is how much we pay per week. Again, this is only if we receive them at the beginning of Term 1 and wear them once, every week of each term. However, if we increase the usage to 5 days per week we only pay roughly $0.57 for every time we wear the jacket.

it's absolutely ridiculous that we as senior students have spend a high absurd amount on a jacket that we can only wear for 1 day a week and most of the student leave at the start of lunch. This jacket is supposed to be something special we get to take home to remind us of our journey at wccs. During year 12 we only are at school for the first 3 terms, jackets were handed out half way through the term causing student to miss out on valuable wear time. The jackets look very nice and suit the uniform. The jacket represents the school logo and name just as much if not more than the school blazer. The jacket should be used and worn not left barley used.
