Marsden High School has come up with a novel way to make wearing the school uniform hip again.
The challenge was laid down that if all 750 students could be in full school uniform on any given day, then school uniform co-ordinator David Najdek would have to also wear the uniform for a day.
Given such an incentive, the student’s rose to the challenge last Friday, resulting in the teacher winding back the clock and pulling on the uniform.
Mr Najdek said he was happy to do his bit for the cause: “It was actually very comfortable. I was also very surprised by the number of students who responded positively to me when they walked past me in the corridor.
“It was quite a fun experience that I would repeat if every student could replicate their previous effort.”
More teachers could be following suit and donning the school’s threads, with a number of other teachers putting their hand up to take part in the challenge.
