Uniform Policy
PURPOSE
A school uniform promotes the school in the public eye and provides the child with a sense of school community and identity. It helps to foster a sense of pride in the school and distinguishes our children on school excursions. When children are dressed in school uniform it reduces the likelihood of peer competition over clothing. The wearing of the school uniform supports our Sunsmart Policy and Occupational Health & Safety requirements.
IMPLEMENTATION
1. All children must be in school uniform at all times except on agreed occasions when uniform is not required. Casual dress days may be held and the children are not required to wear their uniform on these days.
2. Parents must send a written request to the school excusing their child from wearing any item of school uniform on a particular day and outlining the reason.
3. A standard form of notification will be sent home by the Principal, Assistant Principal or teacher if a child is out of uniform.
4. When a child is consistently out of uniform, without a valid reason, parents will be contacted by the Principal, Assistant Principal or teacher.
5. Any families who are experiencing hardship are encouraged to discuss this with their child’s teacher and will be supported by the Second Hand Uniform Shop.
6. A Second Hand Uniform Shop will operate at the school to enable parents to purchase second hand uniforms and sell clothing that their children have outgrown.
7. For health and safety reasons, any hair, shoulder length or longer, must be tied back.
8. The wearing of jewellery is restricted to one pair of sleepers or studs in ears. Medical alert bracelets/ necklaces and watches are permissible. Parents may apply in writing to the Principal for exemptions to this e.g. items of religious or cultural significance. If permission is granted, these items must be worn under the school uniform.
9. No make-up or nail polish is permitted.
