The proceeds would go towards the fundraising goal. In a now-viral clip shared by a grade 9 teacher, learners were not excited to wear civvies because of the ridiculous fee. The school charged the pupils to wear their Sunday best on a Friday.
The class rocked up in their full school uniforms in protest of the high price:
"Ask somebody else to do it."
