Uniforms
When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community.
Students, teachers, parents and carers, as well as members of our local community helped develop our school uniform to make sure it:
meets the requirements of occupational health and safety, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation
includes items that are affordable, comfortable and made from easy-care and easy-wear fabrics
is appropriate for the full range of school activities
is suitable for all body shapes.
Navy shorts, navy skorts, navy track pants, navy jumpers or navy jackets are all part of our school uniform along with black shoes and socks. Students can still choose the option to wear our school tunic. Shorts and skirts are expected to be an appropriate and acceptable length for school. Students will be expected to be able to undertake everyday activities as well as sit on the ground comfortably.
Items of clothing that are not part of our school uniform are not permitted to be worn at school. Examples of these are; clothing that is labelled with a brand, non-school logo or picture. Black leggings, brightly coloured shoes.
Clothing Pool
A limited school clothing pool exists. Donations of school uniforms for the clothing pool are always appreciated.
Sun Protection
We are very conscious of the need for protection from the sun in our hot climate. Parents are urged to ensure their student wears a wide brim, blue school hat. Students will be required to remain under the COLA during recess and lunch if they don’t have an approved hat. An appropriate sunscreen lotion is necessary as well for extended outdoor activities.
Our school hats are compulsory and can be purchased from our school office for $10. as part of our sun safety policy. Students are not permitted to wear caps.
