Uniform Policy

Rationale 

School Council has determined that school uniform is compulsory for all students at the school.  One reason for this is to create a sense of collective and individual pride by students and their identification with the school.  It is also felt that it helps eliminate competition and comparisons regarding clothing.  Costs are lower with a lesser range of clothes, and are selected for suitability rather than by the dictates of fashion.  Further it can assist with individual student safety and group security on school excursions.

 

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to clearly set out the school uniform requirements which are to apply consistently to all students during school hours, while travelling to and from school, and when students are engaged in school based activities out of school hours.  It applies equally to girls and boys.

 

Guidelines

This policy must be clearly communicated to students and parents/guardians upon enrolment.

 

Where uniform is not worn a note must be brought to the appropriate Year Level Coordinator.

 

An application to the Principal is required if an exemption is sought from the school dress code.

 

Disciplinary measures used to enforce uniform requirements will be consistent with the school’s student code of conduct.  Withdrawal from class is not an appropriate sanction.

 

School Council will implement appropriate review procedures for the uniform policy as required.

 

The uniform requirements are:
