A Christchurch high school has slammed its students鈥 choice of dress-up theme, after learning of a proposed 鈥渨ife beater Wednesday鈥, which was canned a day before the dress-up event.
Year 13 students from St Bede鈥檚 College, a Catholic boys鈥 school, were intending to dress up in white singlets, sometimes referred to as 鈥渨ife beaters鈥 before the school learned of the plan and intervened, Stuff听reported.
A school spokesperson said the students had 鈥渁mended the agenda鈥 of what was previously intended to be a 鈥渨acky Wednesday鈥.
The theme was originally for senior students to attend school wearing wacky clothing; however, the spokesperson said a closed online page with the students had the dress theme altered.
The school did not give permission for the theme change, according to the spokesperson, the students were collectively sat down by school officials today and spoken to 鈥渁t length鈥 about the theme.
鈥淎n apology went up on the page and we spoke to the students at great length about how the theme was inappropriate, it wasn鈥檛 in line with values of the college and they needed to change back to the original plan,鈥 the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said she understands the theme has now been changed to a Hawaiian shirt Wednesday.
