Uniform for Upper Six?

Although the upper six students have already traditionally celebrated their last day, where they signed shirts and autograph books and thoroughly enjoyed themselves until Police had to show up, those spotted today were wearing the school uniform. However, it isn’t that they have run out of clothes, or that they are desperately trying to feel close to their alma mater. They have no choice.

Some of the upper six students came to school yesterday, Monday 21st, with the intention of attending those classes with work still left to cover. However, the students were greeted with the sudden condition, that they would only be let into class if they were wearing the school uniform! Forgive the students for thinking that last day actually meant the LAST DAY of being officially part of the institution. Usually, even at the secondary school level, after the last day, the uniform is only worn again on the days of the external examinations. However, the college administration has decided to change this.

This is not only unfortunate but ridiculous. While some might say the students brought it upon themselves, and by putting this rule in place the college is trying to curb instances of bad behavior. They should be practical and realize that most, if not all of the students, would rather be at home studying, and that they have simply giving them an official reason to stay home. Man About College has to wonder if the college has a hidden agenda of trying to deter the students from coming to school. Why didn’t they inform the students of this ahead of time, so that those who actually intended to show up wouldn’t do so in vain? If this was properly organized, why did the teachers tell the students that it was okay for them to wear their own clothes? While administration gave different instruction yesterday?

One student was stopped by the security guard on entering the school compound, and was told that she must change her top before she could enter. The student obeyed, returning home to change her top. However, when she returned to the school compound she was still denied entry and told she must be in full uniform! This does not reflect organization and efficiency on the part of administration. As well as wasting this student's precious time, an important part of her assessment was therefore not marked.

Action speaks louder than words, and this is screaming disorganization and lack of proper communication.

There is word about town that a man, who resides in Green Hill, has poisoned his entire family and as a result, they all died. The entire story isn’t clear as yet. Also, remember that there is another Rugaball match tomorrow afternoon same time same place!
