• Melbourne school makes shorts and pants mandatory to encourage girl to exercise.

1. A Melbourne school has made shorts and pants mandatory to encourage physical activities and play.

2. One of the Melbourne primary school has ditched school uniform dresses and skirts.

3. Girls reported  that they are not happy to wear dresses and skirts.

4. Strong support from girls and parents.

5. Importance of physical activities .

6. Important for schools to balance issues with freedom of choice.

7. Other states such as, NSW and WA following Victorian schools.


In my opinion, I think that it was a good idea to change the uniforms as some girls may have felt uncomfortable with their original uniform. this is not good for the appearance but also they can do more physical activities.
