Uniform Policy Reminder
The children at Our Lady of Fatima are very proud of their school.
A friendly reminder of our Uniform Policy
Our Student Dress Code is designed to:
- Foster a sense of community and belonging while encouraging students to develop pride in their appearance;
- Promote the feeling of equality amongst students while ensuring that they are dressed safely and appropriately for school activities;
- Provide a cost effective means of clothing your children during the school year; and
- Enhance the profile and identity of the school and its students within the wider
- community.
- Address issues of equality, health and safety, and expense are also factors that contribute to the establishment of the Dress Code.
The dress code is applicable to all students and must be adhered to while travelling to and
from school, while students are in school, and while students are participating in school
activities outside of school hours.
All students are expected to wear the full school uniform at all times. We have both a
summer and winter uniform, as well as a sports uniform.
