Equality and choice in school uniforms. Great news, leading the way for change! Congratulations @girlsagenda . Repost from @girlsagenda using ** EXCITING NEWS FROM WA PRIVATE GIRLS' SCHOOL ** Penrhos College is the first private girls’ school in WA to allow students to wear trousers instead of skirts or dresses as their everyday and formal uniform. Pastoral Care dean Michelle Taylor said "In any business and any work environment women can wear pants, skirts or dresses. School is an environment, the girls are working, so why not.” Darcie Schlink, 17, said: “It is progressive and makes a lot of girls feel more comfortable that they have the choice now.” Abigail Best, 11, said the trousers were more comfortable and easier to play in. “I think it’s great that we get to wear them and it’s great to be able to have the choice to wear them.” We'd love to see shorts added to the uniform options at Penrhos. We'll keep you posted if they're the first WA private girls' school to have both pants and shorts for girls. Let's hope that this continues a wave of progress across WA private schools and across Australia. . . . . . . . . . . . . . #GirlsWearPantsToo #GirlsWearShortsToo #UniformEquity #GenderEquality #GiveGirlsChoice #ChoiceMatters #LetGirlsPlay #ActiveGirls #YesSheCan #PrivateSchoolLeaders #GirlsSchool https://thewest.com.au/news/education/penrhos-becomes-was-first-private-girls-school-to-let-students-wear-pants-ng-b881205306z?fbclid=IwAR2OJ8Fa8e4mC9QCHY3qwB66L0JBGJkNE62nYO9t98sEU8fatOut0T3GzvY [Image: three students wearing school uniform, two wearing long pants and blazer, other student wearing a skirt and blazer]

Get ready for the : 👷🏻‍♂️👷🏽‍♀️👨🏼‍⚕️👩🏽‍⚕️👨🏾‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬👩‍🚒👨🏽‍🚒👨🏽‍⚖️👩‍⚖️ The Gender Equality Bill which is scheduled to be introduced into Victorian Parliament this year. When passed the proposed Bill will apply to all Victorian and Local Government departments and public sector entities with over 100 full time employees. The Bill will require organisations to develop and report on a Gender Equality Plan, create targets for women in leadership and will set purchasing guidelines for contractors. Gender equity is the process of being fair to women and men by recognising diversity and disadvantage, and directing resources and services towards those most in need to work toward equal outcomes for all. A gender equity approach acknowledges that different strategies are often necessary for women and men. Working towards gender equity will lead to gender equality.
