My dad

He was born in london raised in new zealand. He meet my mum at a pie bakery

In invercargill because my mum oned the pie bakery. He was in the army he trained hard and worked hard. When he came home we moved to our home right after that

There was a big earthquake. So my dad's 52  my mums 49 when my mum gave

Birth to my big brother not long after i was born and that's my dad's story.

speech

Mufti

Oh no my uniform is dirty! I'm gonna get told off because I have to keep my uniform clean

But It would be easier if I could wear mufti! 10 sec

Hi I’m Ronan I hope you take my advise and try wearing mufti to school

We will need to persuade the teachers to change to mufti for uniform speech

here’s good reasons why 11 sec

When it’s cold, you can wear long pants in winter instead of shorts! And not just school long pants, they can be as warm as you want: imagine fleecy lining on snowy days to match your snow boots! 15 sec

Also it's much cheaper. Trust me when I say that because the Casebrook jersey costs

90 dollars and a kmart sweatshirt costs $30 that’s a big difference and it's the same for $40 school top where you could get a t-shirt for $12 18 sec

The uniform is really itchy and it’s even worse if you are sensitive like some kids, It can be really uncomfortable. Like the leather shoes! They are so stiff and hard to move in. 11 sec

Not only do they cost a lot of money, we are constantly having to change into PE gear to do sport. Imagine if you could already be in comfortable mufti for the whole day, ready to do sport! 12 sec

As I have shown, there are lots of good reasons to consider mufti instead of uniform. The next question is how the change of school uniform should happen. 12 sec
