The school bulletin says that starting from September 2021 of this year, we have to return to changing into PE kits at school for PE lessons. Do we really want this to happen again?? There are so many benefits and advantages to wearing it the whole day, such as:

1. Literal weight off students’ shoulders! This means not lugging the kit bag around all day, as well as carrying a normal schoolbag containing subject books, reading books, water bottles and packed lunches, etc., as well as multiple large, heavy folders (for Y10s and 11s). This is especially unpleasant during unbearably hot or cold weather.
2. PE lessons run much more smoothly without the hassle and the rush of having to change out of or back into full uniform at the start and end of each lesson. This would reduce the time you have to actually exercise (due to students messing around in the changing rooms, arriving to the class late, or certain students who are slower than others to change), or making you late for your next class, which might be way across the school.
3. Less gender dysphoria, anxiety or self-consciousness! Not everyone will feel comfortable changing and exposing themselves in front of others, especially those who they aren’t close to. Also, constantly comparing how you look with how others look isn’t great, particularly when it’s hard to avoid in such an enclosed space; this can lead to an increase in self-hatred and body negativity.
4. No lost property! In the often less-than-5-minute rush to change, valuable things are frequently lost in the craze. Pupils would constantly misplace and lose their belongings if this unwise rule sets in place, and valuable things would never be found again, with blame and suspicion being directed towards peers or the school itself. 
5. Improvements in class learning and overall mood! No one can deny that the kit is more comfortable than the uniform, so wearing the kit whenever it's possible increases your mood. After changing back into uniform, you don't really have the time to sort yourself out or look 100% presentable, so the PE kit helps in the sense that it doesn't steal focus from what you're doing at any given moment, unlike the kilts, ties or shirts, having to constantly adjust them.

Hope you sign the petition, and help improve the school lives of everyone as well as yours! :)))
