Letter to the Editor
After reading July's Progressive, I have to ask, how can the school deal with the issues raised in the letter
presented to Rose Parker when it can not even agree from one term to the next on a standard uniform, let alone ensure that the students all comply with it?
I have received in the last year or so several notices from the school regarding the wearing of a set uniform, listing all the acceptable items, but there are differences each time. Cargos are in for girls, then in the next
notice they are out, now they are on the acceptable list again. Jeans are not acceptable under any
circumstances and then grey jeans are okay.
Not only can they not set a uniform without changing their minds every other month they allow some
students to continue to flout the rules openly without even the slightest attempt to follow the dress code but they also are allowing the wearing of 'designer brand name clothing' which is not only against the uniform code but one of the greatest infringements one can make. Right from the start it has always been NO
designer brand name clothing as this sets an unacceptable standard amongst the students of the haves and have nots.
If like me you see not only what the students are
wearing but what some of their teachers, who set the trend, come to school in then its no wonder the
students don't give a d###.

Tasmanian Regional Arts:
Due to circumstances beyond its control the Lilydale Branch Committee has had no choice but to postpone its two major events, the Mountain of Talent Art
Exhibition and the Variety Concert (which was
overcome by the School Production, International Concert, Players performance) planned for this year.
The general feeling of the Committee is, that due to its diminutive size (in numbers, not stature!) it should go back to a grass roots level and concentrate on
workshops. Intimate concerts and of course, the Lantern Walk and Carols on the Green.
The Painted Poles continue to be a drawcard to
tourists and other non-Lilydalians, with an article to be published in the Mercury and a "Pole Ramble" and free sausage sizzle on Sunday 31st August, organised in
conjunction with the "Living Tasmanian Artists" project and Aurora.
Also, we have been contacted by the Lilydale District School to assist with a project. More about that later.
Regards, Frea
