School uniforms (校服) are traditional in Britain.
Pupils at about 90 percent of British secondary schools wear uniforms. When
every pupil in the school wears the uniform, nobody has to worry about fashion
and they feel that they belong to a group. Some people believe that a school
uniform can help students pay attention to schoolwork. But some schools in
Britain and other countries are starting to drop the traditional uniforms.
An Australian school has
decided to drop its traditional school uniform, hoping new sportswear will
encourage students to take part in more activities. School headmaster Elisabeth
Lenders said the uniform change had been in the works for several years.
"We decided that in
2018-2019, " she said. "The importance is clear: to make young people
live happy, healthy lives."
Ms Lenders said World
Health Organization research reported 90 percent of young Australians and New
Zealanders were not getting the minimum(最小的)daily levels of activity
they needed in order to lead a healthy life. As well as the new uniform, she
said the school would change timetables to make sure there would be chances for
students to take part in physical activity every day.
Ms Lenders said in the
past, a uniform was about all looking the same but in the 21st
century it was important for students to be able to choose clothes that they
liked.
And this Australian school
had made an online survey about the uniform change and had received great
support from parents and students. Tara, mother of Ava in Year 7, said it was a
great move from the school. "These are the challenges of our time, and we
want young people to think about them," she said. "It is bigger than
just throwing out the old uniform. It's about what the role of education is
about. And for me it's helping young people to live a happy, healthy and
productive life. "
