School Uniform
Students are expected to return for Term 4 on Monday, 12th October, dressed in their full summer uniform.
As part of our school’s sun safety policy, hats must be worn at all times during outdoor activities. No hat, no play applies, and students will not be permitted to participate in sport lessons without a hat.
On designated sport days, students must wear the correct sports socks with black or white sports shoes. Please note that the school sport uniform is to be worn only on class sport or swimming days.
We also remind families that hairstyles should be neat and tidy, with long hair tied back at all times.
