As I stated in a letter last year, the students, teacher, parents, and alumni of Kelly Road secondary school do not want a name change.
Kelly Road is a part of the Hart culture. We have the Kelly Road craft fair, the Kelly Road burger bash and the Kelly Road fine arts night etc. We have brand new jerseys, mascot and equipment, which costs hundreds of dollars, with the Kelly Road name. Changing the name would require all new jerseys for well over 10 different sports teams.
I've talked to many different people with different roles in the school and they all are against it. If the name were to change, everyone would still call it Kelly Road. A name change is unnecessary and is upsetting a lot of people. Please take our feelings into consideration before making decisions about our school.
