NSW public school will have pants option for girls

‘EVERY public school will be forced to offer girls the option of wearing shorts and pants instead of a dress under a statewide overhaul to the government’s uniform policy.

‘The new policy also mandates that schools give parents at least three years’ notice before making any significant changes — like adding a blazer — to ensure families are protected against cost rises.

‘The Daily Telegraph can today reveal Education Minister Rob Stokes has ripped up the 24-page school uniform policy for primary and secondary public schools and replaced it with a simpler two-page document.’
