School Safety Rules state that all students should have appropriate footwear in the Gym.
Name Brand, expensive or stylish shoes are optional as we do little standing around or leaning on the wall looking cool being noticed for our shoes. We play games, learn skills, run and jump so cheap, clean and comfortable shoes are best.
