Aussie school kids

 One thing I enjoy every day here in Brisbane is seeing the school kids in their uniforms. We live just down the street from Brisbane Boys College and a lot of Brisbane's kids (even grade school aged) ride the trains to and from school. They're in the Toowong Village shopping center/train station in droves, meeting their friends or Mums, buying snacks etc..

  It felt too creepy to take pictures of the kids to post on this blog so I dowloaded a few from the websites of area schools as examples. Public schools generally have more casual uniforms but have been switching to more formal, and very British, uniforms like the private schools Apparently, the public school kids have felt stigmatised in their polo shirt and floppy-hat "outbacky" uniforms, dubbed "povos" (for "poverty") by the posh private school kids.

Can you imagine kids in the US wearing these outfits?
