School guidelines required students to wear “standard solid colour” masks in school colours. 9News

In the video, which has now been deleted from YouTube, principal Avril Howard stated the college had set "standards and protocols in regards to the wearing of masks".

The uniform policy has been criticised as "ridiculous" from members of the community, with some claiming it was hard enough to find a mask – let alone one which comes in specific colours. Lowther Hall Anglican Grammar in Essendon also adopted the strict new policy, with their uniform supplier even making "earslbrae blue" school masks.Students had to either purchase the college mask or wear plain disposable white or blue masks from August 16.9News has contacted the schools for comment.

What’s even more ridiculous is that schools in Vic are still open. Should be closed either completely or to all except grade 12

This is wrong. Should be a bit of a fun to wear a mask. It will make much easier.

Should have asked principal to provide it to everyone for free🤔🙄. Which world does he o she live in.

I often hear private school here have their own set of bizarre rules to follow, often to show their “uniqueness”. Some teachers even sent “note” to remind parents not to pack anything but homecooked or “fresh food” for children. How true is that? Kids are kids, not even cookies?

Antimasker berates staffer at Australia Post officeA woman who berated staff at a Bunnings in Melbourne over its face mask policy has struck again, this time seen lecturing a staff member at a post office. When she uses a law from the past, it is outdated for the current situation. Masks do work to slow or even stop the spread of the virus. She’s not a Karen (sorry to the Karen’s out there) she’s just a down right dick!!

'Schools are not safe': Principal's plea to Premier to close classroomsPrincipal of one of Melbourne’s largest specialist year 11 and 12 schools has pleaded with Premier Daniel Andrews to close schools for the sake of students. Just do your job your getting paid for........don't see nurses and doctors whinging and there on the front line. Agree 💯. VCE & Special Schools are expected to be 100% on site? Prep-Year 10 learning remotely, yet teachers must work from classrooms, not home? ⬆️workloads - teachers juggle both onsite, remote learning & support families? Oh.. & 50+ schools closed= ⬆️disruptions 🤷🏼‍♀️ Youngsters can be asymptomatic and can spread virus too without their knowledge.
