St Columba’s College, Essendon

St Columba’s College in Essendon has not allowed t-bar school shoes for many years. Instead the girls have to wear black lace up school shoes.

The uniform policy clearly states that the shoes required must be black lace ups. No T-bars or ballet slippers permitted.

The young ladies from Strathcona Baptist Girls Grammar School created the Facebook group “Buckle up strathys, they’re not taking our t-bars too” when they were threatened by teachers with having their t-bar school shoes taken away.
