1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,439
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the mornings.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: Relaxing school uniforms. Does it pass the pub test?

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: Kingswood College in box Hill, one hundred and thirty year

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: old Uniting church school, is ditching its uniform. It's blazers,

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: it's gray trousers, it's ties, the blue check dresses for

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: the girls. Are replacing it with active wear. And I

7
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: guess that that means casual polos, shorts, track suits.

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: So it's not, you know, sexy running gear or nothing.

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: But it's interesting.

10
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: The principle has said that they've been making this decision

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: over three years and what they've found is that students

12
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: are more likely to be active if they don't have

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: to get changed into clothes to be active. And she

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: said also after the kids have been in lockdown and

15
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: the disrupted year that they've been having, the well being

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,639
Speaker 1: of the students is what comes first. The comfort there

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: will being their ability to be more active without having

18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: to formalize that.

19
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: Interesting, isn't it? What do you think the school uniform?

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: It gives a discipline.

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: There is that and I like the look of a

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: school uniform. Yeah, I know what you mean. But a

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: lot of people are saying.

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: That's that's old fashioned.

25
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: We don't need boater hats, we don't need ties and

26
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: blazers and the kids being able to wear running shoes

27
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: so that they can be more active without having school

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: shoes on during the day. Could this be the way

29
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: of the future, doing away with the tie and the blazer.

30
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: Are in Star Trek they all wore the same uniform,

31
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,279
Speaker 2: didn't they? That skivvy doesn't flatter everyone.

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: That doesn't pretty much just leisure wear well relaxing school uniforms.

33
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: What do you think does it pass the pub test?

34
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 3: I think that they should get rid of them and

35
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: encourage the kids to do more sports. By daughter to

36
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: her school and said, why do the boys get to

37
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: wear the T shirt and george while the girls have

38
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: to wear dress when they're playing touch football and handball.

39
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: She didn't really get an answer, So I think it's

40
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: time to change the uniform. I have a young girl,

41
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: very sporty, very athletic.

42
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: She sounds more comfortably in her sports clothes.

43
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: When it comes to home economy, you're wearing a brazier

44
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: and jump by. You know, everything is just so restrictive.

45
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: I think there can be a bit of a balance,

46
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 2: So I think it's good for the kids to still have.

47
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 3: A bit more of a formal uniform, but maybe only

48
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: where it one or two days a week and the

49
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 3: other three days where something casual. On average a pair,

50
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 3: it will think about a thousand dollars a year on uniforms,

51
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: and the way these kids are growing, you're constantly replacing things.

52
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: So I'm all for the track suit approach. As long

53
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 3: as it's a school one, it's got the logo on it,

54
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: absolutely go for it.

55
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 2: Mane was just start wearing uniform here logo. What about

56
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 2: those loser radio announcers that we're logo? Yeah, how's it

57
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: going for you? You've never said man logo ever? All Right,

58
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: Brendan Sospissive

59
