WEST BEACH PRIMARY SCHOOL
Uniform Policy
Last Reviewed - May 2019
In keeping with our school values and a long tradition of excellence, respect, responsibility and creativity all students are expected to proudly wear the West Beach Primary School uniform. Wearing the school uniform assists in the provision of a safe school environment where students are easily identified as being a part of our school community. It also assists in creating a supportive social environment by reducing levels of competitive dressing and provides cost effective, durable clothing. The uniform contains a range of options to suit all body shapes, sizes and ages.
The West Beach Primary School Uniform Policy has been developed and supported by the school community through the SRC and Governing Council and is in accordance with the Education Regulations (Part 6 – section 86). We ask for the co-operation of students, parents and staff.
The school uniform colours are: Royal Blue tops and Dark/Charcoal Grey bottoms.
The school uniform is to be worn by students to school every day (except designated casual days/sports day) and at any time they are representing the school eg. Whole School Photos, Excursions, Festival of Music, Debating, Japanese Tournaments, Young Leaders Day etc.
Uniforms are available from Westside Schoolwear, Shop 7 Falkirk Avenue, Seaton. Opening hours are Monday to Wednesday 10am to 5.30pm and Thursday 10am to 8pm. You may also order online at: www.westsideschoolwear.com.au
Hats and bags are available from West Beach Primary School front office.
