RESOLUTION NO. __, SERIES OF 2018.

RESOLUTION DECLARING WEDNESDAY OF EVERY WEEK AS

STUDENT’S WASH DAY, IN THE LA CASTELLANA NATIONAL HIGH
SCHOOL – SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, AND ENJOINING THE STUDENTS TO
OBSERVE THE WEARING OF PROPER SCHOOL ATTIRE ON SAID DAY.

WHEREAS, many students have experience a lot of difficulties in their studies one of
these is about wearing the proper school uniform. Some students hate their school
uniforms because this not belongs to their fashions, especially for the modern things
nowadays. School Uniforms are used all across the country, particularly in parochial and
urban school settings. In 1996, approximately three percent of all schools in the United
States had a school uniform policy (Gentile & Imberman, 2009, as cited in the term paper
of Gwynneth Kane Mamac, Mariel Guarin, Edgie Mae Binoya, Gretchin Ceasar, Rosabel
Dabuan, Rosabel Mangabo and Renante Hemilo entitled “THE ESSENTIALS OF
WEARING PROPER SCHOOL UNIFORM”);

WHEREAS, uniform policies face approval and disdain in many school districts. The
emergence of uniform policies has led to discussions over their effectiveness.
Administrators often believe uniforms create a safer learning environment while students
have said they notice little difference in the school. Some school administrators believe
that uniforms can improve discipline and raise academic achievement (Stanley, 1996, as
cited in the term paper of Gwynneth Kane Mamac, Mariel Guarin, Edgie Mae Binoya,
Gretchin Ceasar, Rosabel Dabuan, Rosabel Mangabo and Renante Hemilo entitled “THE
ESSENTIALS OF WEARING PROPER SCHOOL UNIFORM”);

WHEREAS, the La Castellana National High School – Senior High School, as a matter of
school policy observe the wearing of school uniform for proper identification and
security purposes, to protect the students in case of untoward incidents and during
emergencies situations;

WHEREAS, according to a study published in the internet, “wearing of school uniform

is a mitigating measure to avoid social conflict lessen social conflicts within the school.
This is so as not all students can keep up with the latest trends in fashion. So, if you
don’t belong in the group when it comes to fashion, you often become the subject of
ridicule and mockery obviously because other students see you as an outcast who doesn’t
fit in. If you are in this situation, it can badly affect your self-esteem and can give rise to
many insecurities. But with school uniform, incidents like this can be prevented.”
(https://learning.knoji.com/importance-of-school-uniforms/);

WHEREAS, however, considering that majority of the La Castellana National High

School – Senior High School learners belong to low income-earning families, most of them
have only one or two sets of school uniforms. Wearing said uniforms on a daily basis
from Monday to Friday is a burden they have to bear, not to mention the difficulty of
drying before wearing it;

WHEREAS, believing that such difficulty would have an impact on the learner’s
performance in school, the Supreme Student Government (SSG), hereby propose for the
observance of a “One-day Wash Day” for the students, to give them adequate
opportunity to wash and dry their uniforms, and the appropriate time to do that would
be every Wednesday of the week;

WHEREAS, in order not to defeat the above-mentioned purposes of wearing school

uniform despite the observance of the one-day Wash Day every Wednesday of the week,
the Supreme Student Government (SSG) hereby enjoins all the LCNHS – SHS learners to
observe proper school attire;

WHEREAS, DepEd. Order No. 46, S. 2008 – PROPER SCHOOL ATTIRE, provides that:

“While the general policy is that the wearing of a school uniform shall not be required
in public schools (as embodied in DepEd Order No. 45 s. 2008), it is necessary to
provide guidance on what constitutes “PROPER SCHOOL ATTIRE.” The following
principles should serve as a guide:

1. A student’s basic right to go to school, study and learn is of paramount importance and
should be respected and promoted at all times.
 2. A student’s attire should reflect respect for the school as an institution for learning.
3. A student’s attire should not become a cause for discrimination particularly for students
belonging to a lower socio-economic status.
4. Promoting physical hygiene and proper school decorum is part of the teaching- learning
process in schools, thus a student’s attire and physical appearance should manifest
learnings from this process.

WHEREAS, in compliance with the above-mentioned principle in the wearing of Proper

School Attire, the Supreme Student Government hereby suggests the following attire to
be observed during Wash Day:

For Boys – MAPEH shirts, Polo shirt, Printed T-shirt with sleeves – white color or with
official prints;
Pants (long) – uniform black slacks or any other pants having resemblance with the
uniform except jeans;
Footwear – tennis or closed shoes except slippers;
Wearing of official ID (compulsory);

For Girls – MAPEH shirts, official printed T-shirt with sleeves – any color, any print
Pants (long) – uniform maroon slacks or any other formal pants except tight and tattered
jeans;
Footwear- tennis or closed shoes except slippers;
Wearing of official ID (compulsory);

WHEREAS, by observing and wearing the proper school attire will promote respect for
the school as an institution of learning;

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED to declare

Wednesday of every week as student’s Wash Day, in the La Castellana National High
School – Senior High School, and enjoining the students to observe the wearing of proper
school attire on said day.

FURTHER RESOLVED, to furnish copies of this resolution to the Principal’s Office and
other offices concerned for information and reference.

I hereby CERTIFY to the CORRECTNESS of the foregoing EXCERPT.
