    Outrage from Wellington parents as a school changes uniform requirements

    Outrage from Wellington parents as a school changes uniform requirements


    Year nine pupils at Wellington College must now wear blazers and ties, which come with a price tag of almost three-hundred dollars.

    Some parents aren't happy about the change, during a cost of living crisis.

    Vaughan Couillault of the Secondary Principals' Association says the uniforms aren't cheap.

    He says although each school has the right to set uniform standards, its impossible to find a cheap school blazer these days.
