Canterbury schools say yes to gender diversityDAVID WALKER/FAIRFAX NZ Beckenham School allows kids to pick and choose what uniform they want, depending on their identifying gender. Canterbury schools are opening their doors to transgender students with plans for gender-neutral toilets and uniforms. Lincoln High School and Beckenham Primary School are two of the most progressive schools in the region, amidst a global gender revolution, driven largely by social media. As part of the school's redevelopment under the Christchurch Schools Rebuild Programme, individual toilet rooms, rather than mass cubicles, were selected. Beckenham Primary School was questioned over the cost of installing gender neutral bathrooms, when "old-style toilets" were cheaper.
