Newly-elected members of our Senate are wearing brand-new ties to signify their role.

The idea for the special ties was put forward by last year’s Senate.

Senate member Jack Green , who is in Year 8, said: “Lots of people have come up to us asking why our ties are different – they definitely stand out.”

Year 8 Senate member Chloe Burton said: “As soon as I walked into my English class wearing the new tie people were asking why my tie was different.”
