social skills are very important in a society where we constantly communicate ideas and feelings - going co-ed would vastly improve how we interact with others

Spud - Book Challenge
Due on Dec 02 25 words minimumINTRO: Books that easily relate to our experiences often connect with us more. This series is set in an all boy boarding school and shares many funny scenarios that will be familiar to many Hale boys.
REVIEW: It's South Africa, 1990. The country still squirms under the iron fist of apartheid. Two major events are about to happen: The release of Nelson Mandela, and more importantly, it's Spud Milton's first year at an elite boys only private boarding school. Cursed with parents from well beyond the lunatic fringe, a senile granny, and a dormitory full of strange characters, Spud has to forge a new life for himself in this foreign and sometimes hostile environment. Surrounded by names such as Gecko, Rambo, Rain Man and Mad Dog, Spud takes his first tentative steps along the path towards manhood. (The path, it seems, could be a rather long road.) Armed with only his wits and his diary, Spud takes us from illegal night swimming to the cricket field, from ghost busting to teacher baiting. He also invites us into the mind of a boy struggling to come to terms with a strange new world; a boy whose eyes are being opened to love, friendship and complete insanity.

Hale School would be very different, and would benefit greatly from being Co-ed. People could make new friends, and school facilities would be different. c

I believe in my hypothesis that the school Hale School will receive a different sort of culture if in fact is was to turn into a co educational school

hale would be different because we would learn about different things, we would have to create another uniform and we would make new friends .
