as a student 1986 to 1991 it was funny to read about a bitter introduction of the uniform, since we went through that in 1986 when the school came into existance. however you could get an exception if wearing uniform was against your parents ethical beliefs.. so about 1/3 didn't wear uniform, 2/3 did. plus after 5th form it wasn't required... interesting to hear what happened in the 2000s to compare. --Portunus 19:45, 14 September 2007 (NZST)
Thanks Portunus. I remember the aftermath of the first uniform debate which went into the 90s even. Chris Brady was the teacher who became the pubic face of the rebellion,eh? Perhaps he deserves a page of his own. Cheers hackademic 19:51, 14 September 2007 (NZST)
