Ironside School (Australia, 1968)

Figure 1.--The Ironside State School is a primary school located in St Lucia. This is a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland. We have a school portrait from 1968. It shows a 6th grade class which would be the last year of primary. The school has a mandatory uniform. The girls wear checked dresses looking rather like gym frocks. The boys wear light-weight shirts and shorrt pants. This was a very common summer uniform for boys in Australia. Put your cursor on the image to see the rest of the class.

In the photo half of the boys in the front row are barefoot. On the contrary no girl in the second row is barefoot. This once was very common in Australia, but is now much less common. The dress code in 2009 states that pupils can wear black shoes, sneakers or sandals.
