Uniforms

UNIFORM POLICY

‘A school dress code must observe health, safety and decency standards and be practical in its
application to a wide range of physical activities and weather conditions.’ – Department of Education and Children Development Administrative Guidelines.

Students are to wear clothing that conforms to the school dress code. The school colours are Gold and Navy Blue. We believe that uniforms worn to school should be appropriate, comfortable, reasonably priced and durable. This policy is supported by the Governing Council and the Parents and Friends Committee. School uniform was made compulsory in 2014. Students are to wear their uniform as it is compulsory. If your child does not wear the uniform a note is required. It is school policy for all students to be in a school shirt and neat pants / shorts. Please help by ensuring that this occurs. Our school will be contacting parents and caregivers if the student is not in uniform and does not have a note and will then need a shirt brought to the school for the student to wear. It is also advisable to wear appropriate footwear for PE, Tech Studies, Science and Home Ec.

T shirts, Windcheaters, Polo shirts and hats with the school logo are available from the school.

Governing Council currently subsidies the school uniform by 50% for staff and students.

• Hats: Students are to wear a full brim or Bucket hats during from the beginning of spring
  to the end of autumn, when involved in lessons or recess and lunchtime activities outside. All students must comply with the Sun Smart Policy.
• Sports Uniform: When students are representing the school the sports uniform is black or
  blue shorts or skirt with a navy T-shirt. This applies to students from Years R-12
• Sleeveless t-shirts and tops are not allowed due to their lack of sun protection
• Footwear: The activities and things we do at school require good strong footwear to
  make sure that the children’s feet are protected. Black or brown school, track shoes and
  sandals are required
• No open footwear is to be worn in the Technical Studies, Home Ec. and
  Science.
• Jewellery: This is discouraged and should at most be restricted to a plain necklace. Ear-rings are not part of the school dress code and therefore are discouraged. Students may use sleepers andcstuds for pierced ears
