Dear Windsor or Burwood School parents: Did anyone else notice that on the Survey we have just been asked to fill out re the uniforms for the Windsor/Burwood merged school, that the most obvious and practical option was not listed?! That is the option to continue to wear the existing uniforms and give us a two year transition period to change to the new uniform (like we had when Windsor changed the uniform a few years ago). So the money we have invested in our stockpiles of current uniform wont be wasted - especially for those of us with more than one child where the uniform can be passed down. I know this option is probably not popular with some (like the Limited Statutory Manager) because slowly phasing out the old uniforms will mean we will not look like a new school from the start of 2014. In fact I am concerned that overall the most logical and common sense options will be disregarded in favour of politically correct options - selected to appease the Ministry of Ed and to give the appearance that we are a completely new and seamlessly merged school - when in fact that is just not possible in the timeframe the Ministry has imposed on us. So, it seems quite likely that with the two school sites, the sensible option of families attending their closest school site will NOT be what happens because that will not make us look like a merged school. Instead we may have families who live south of the Burwood site taking their kids to the Windsor site, while families north of Windsor carry on past their old school and continue on down to Burwood. How ludicrous would that be?? But I fear that unless enough parents advise the board that they dont want this option, that it will in fact be foisted upon us. If you agree with me, please share this post on your timeline if you know other Windsor or Burwood people will read it and perhaps be spurred into action :-)
