The Issue

My name is Lexi Johnson-Hurt, I am a year 8 pupil attending Ysgol Y Strade in Carmarthenshire, UK. I enjoy school, however after dying my hair during the first lockdown in Wales, there was a conflict with the school rules and my hair colour when I returned.

This is a petition for the removal of the school rule for “extreme hair colour and style” at Ysgol Y Strade.

I am petitioning for the removal of this rule for the following reasons-

1. Hair colour or style does not affect an individual’s ability to learn in school.

2. It encourages creativity and individuality without changing behaviour.

3. It can give a boost of confidence to an individual, especially throughout the difficult times we are going through at the moment.

4. It can help improve mental health in an individual by allowing them to be who they are.

5. It allows an individual to express themselves freely.

I would like to see Ysgol Y Strade remove this rule, leading the way to encourage individuality regarding hair colour/style without affecting Ysgol Y Stade’s high standard of education they provide.

Fy enw i yw Lexi Johnson-Hurt, rydw i yn mlwyddyn 8 yn Ysgol Y Strade Sir Gaerfyrddin, DU. Dwi’n mwynhau fynd i’r ysgol ond, ar ol i mi lliwio fy ngwallt yn ystod y cofnod clo cyntaf yn Gymru, roedd gwrthdaro rhwng rheolau’r ysgol a lliw fy nghwallt pan ddechwelas nol.

Deiseb yw hon am dileu rheol ysgol am “Gwallt wedi’I liwio neu’i steilio’n eithafol” yn Ysgol Y Strade.

Rwy’n deisebu’n am deleu rheol ysgol hwn am y rhesymau hon-

1.   Nid yw lliw gwallt neu steil gwallt yn effeithio ar addysg unigoyn.

2.  Mae’n annog creadigrwydd ac unigoliaeth heb newid ymddygiad unigolyn.

3.  Gall godi hyder mewn unigolion, yn enwedig trwy gydol yr amseroedd anodd rydyn ni’n mynd drwyddo ar hyn o bryd.

4.  Mae’n helpu wella iechyd meddwl mewn unigolyn trwy ganiatau iddynt fod eu hunain.

5.  Mae’n ganiatau unigolyn i fynegi eu hunain yn rhydd.

Hoffwn I weld Ysgol Y Strade dileu rheol yma, gan arwain y ffordd i annog unigolion ynglin a lliw gwallt/steil heb effeithio safon uchel o addysg mae nhw’n darparu yn Ysgol Y Strade.
