Why we should wear it with pride

By having a uniform, it upholds a behavior standard we can be proud of and helps our schools image to be great.

Wearing the uniform shows a sign of respect and unity for our community. You wouldn't turn up to your job without meeting the proper uniform standards would you? So why do it at school
