Winter School Uniform
Students are to officially wear their winter uniform fromMonday 12th May. With the changing weather conditions during early Autumn students may wear summer or winter uniforms when returning to school in Term Two. Parents please ensure that your child is not wearing a combination of both uniforms during this period.
Parents are reminded of the importance of students wearing their uniform correctly and with pride. School hats are required for all outdoor activities aligned with our school policy- ‘no hat no play’. Please ensure that your child is wearing white or black sport shoes - no Converse boots or skate shoes.
A reminder that long hair needs to be tied back (this also includes boys/ hairstyles-mullets and shaved hair designs are not recommended). Correct school shoes/sport shoes and socks are to be worn. A uniform reminder notice will be sent home if students are not wearing the correct school uniform.
