The uniform design for Guernsey's new secondary schools has been released.
It consists of:
Dark grey blazer
Black trousers or pleated skirt
White shirt
A green and gold tie, the exact colour and design of which will be decided with support from students and staff
States of GuernseyCopyright: States of Guernsey
The education committee said the uniform has been chosen "following feedback from staff and students as well as discussion with the current uniform suppliers on the island".
"The Committee is investigating an Eco Range where 100% of the polyester used comes from recycled plastic bottles," he added.
Members of the Prospect union are calling on Jersey's government to get back to the negotiation table to avoid strike action.
Civil servants could walk out next month in an ongoing dispute over pay, after turning down the latest offer.
They claim the island's government won't sit down to discuss a better settlement.
Brett Sparkes from the union says members are unhappy with how they've been treated.
Tax system needs 'root and branch review'
BBC Radio Guernsey
Deputy Peter Ferbrache has called for a root and branch review of taxation in Guernsey.
Members are currently debating a new system for vehicle tax in the island, with Policy and Resources advocating a distance measuring system, where you would pay per mile driven.
Deputy Lindsay De Sausmarez said there are no intentions to increase the amount of tax collected by the States, but to collect it in a different way.
Duty is currently added to fuel prices, but revenues have steadily been decreasing as more people switch to buses and bicycles.
Jersey's civil service will go on strike after the "strong rejection" of a new pay offer.
The Jersey Civil Service Association said: "This course of action is something none of us wished to have to take but we have been left with no alternative in the face of an employer who refuses to sit down and negotiate with us to get a resolution that is acceptable."
It added it was being shown a "lack of respect" by the States Employment Board, which had "refused to improve" last year's pay offer.
Staff will be striking in half-day shifts over the course of 23 and 27 August.
Friday 23 August 2019 – 09:00 to 13:00
Friday 23 August 2019 – 13:00 to 17:00
Tuesday 27 August 2019 – 09:00 to 13:00
Tuesday 27 August 2019 – 13:00 to 17:00
Members of the union will arrange to strike in a manner which ensures "minimum emergency cover".
The JCSA said the strikes will allow members to "show their disgust at the way the employer is treating civil servants".

A man suffered a head injury after falling while walking on a cliff path near the Jerbourg, an ambulance service has said.
It was one of two incidents the St John
Emergency Ambulance Service responded to on Guernsey’s south
coast cliffs on Wednesday.
It was called out to the injured man at about 13:00, who was treated by a paramedic at the scene before being transferred to hospital for further assessment.
Just after 16:00, the ambulance service was called on again after a paraglider landed near
the bottom of the cliffs in St Pierre du Bois.
As the casualty was near the shoreline, he eventually had to be rescued by the crew of the
inshore lifeboat.
The paraglider was then transferred by lifeboat to St Peter Port
Harbour where he was met by a waiting ambulance.
He was assessed by
clinicians and taken to the hospital for further treatment for a leg injury.
Early cloud and rain is expected to clear eastwards later.
This afternoon will then be dry with sunny spells and a light to moderate westerly wind.
Highs of 19C (66F).

'Far too much' fly-tipping in Jersey
BBC Radio Jersey
A States official says too many people are dumping rubbish illegally in Jersey.
It comes after two people were fined a total of £1,5000 for fly-tipping.
One was fined £1,000 for dumping a broken chainsaw and wheelbarrow at Sorel Point, while the other was fined £500 for leaving two black bags of rubbish at the recycling centre in St Lawrence.
David Monks, from the waste authorities, says it's now easier to report the offence as there is "far too much fly-tipping going on".
