Background
Current uniform is not suited to the needs of growing children who spend long days learning, playing, and moving around.
We believe that uniforms should reflect a balance between practicality, equality, and comfort. For example, polo tops are more breathable and suitable in warm weather. Uncomfortable, tight, or poorly ventilated uniforms can be a distraction from learning Education should be the focus—not discomfort caused by restrictive dress codes. Focus on what really matters: learning.
