The old uniforms from the archives of Wesley College in Ballinteer were resurrected to add a bit of fun to the school’s 175th anniversary celebrations. And, to add further drama, the students took on the persona of some of these past pupils. Daisy Forte who dressed in 1920s white tennis dress and blazer says that she realised how lucky students are now. And, regarding the debate on whether girls should be allowed to wear trousers as part of their uniform – the Wesley girls seem nonplussed. “We can wear trousers if we want but they aren’t that comfortable so most girls prefer to wear skirts,” said Forte.
