The wearing of a school uniform is an important and vital part of our philosophy. Students at the school wear their uniform because:
a.
It speaks of a commitment to our school.
b.
It readily identifies the student and the school in the community.
c.
It encourages discipline and responsibility in the life of the student.
d.
It gives the student a sense of belonging and identification.
e.
It is practical and economical.
The uniform has been carefully selected by the Board, in consultation with Staff and the P & F. It is functional and attractive as well as appropriate for the school. All students attending the school are required, as part of the enrolment acceptance, to wear the prescribed uniform which must be purchased only from the school uniform shop.
A uniform is provided for boys and girls incorporating Summer and Winter elements. Due to the generally mild nature of our climate Winter additions may be worn during Term 2 & 3 only. (This includes tights for girls, long pants for boys, jackets, gloves and scarves).
All compulsory uniform requirements must be purchased through the uniform shop at the school.
Parent and Carer Commitment Parents are required to fully support the uniform code and ensure that the student is dressed appropriately at all times
- Uniform must be clean, pressed and in good repair
- Shoes must be kept polished and in good condition.
- School uniform must be worn correctly at all times.
- Upgrading or replacing of uniform items should be done within a week of notification from the class teacher.
