Uniform reminder

We ask for your assistance in ensuring that students are in the correct uniform while at school. Generally everyone is doing a great job, however we have noticed some students starting to wear items that are not part of our uniform. 

Please remember:

• No logos
• Plain black school shorts only - no sports shorts
• Plain black or white socks
• Black shoes
• Hair tied back at school

Please take time to review our uniform policy and ensure you have the correct items for school.

While both Summer or Winter uniform can be worn year round based on personal preference, we do expect all students to be in correct school uniform at all times while at school. 

We are very proud of our school and the reputation we have earned for excellence in education. The wearing of school uniform is one way we actively demonstrate our pride and our belonging.

As well as fostering a sense of belonging, wearing a uniform makes students easy to identify; makes life simpler for parents and also establishes good routines and habits for high school and beyond. 

Staff will be reminding students of this and following up with families to support the wearing of correct uniforms. 

Our uniform shop is fully stocked for over the counter and online sales. You can order and pay via QKR and your child can collect from the school office. If you call through to the office, delivery to their classroom can also be arranged. 

There is assistance available for families if needed to assist in purchasing school items, including uniform. Please contact Narelle Sullivan (narelle.sullivan@education.vic.gov.au) or the school office to discuss access to assistance. All correspondence remains strictly confidential.

Your help in ensuring that all students are in correct uniform is appreciated. Please feel free to contact the school if you have any further questions. 

Head Lice

We often receive reports from parents about head lice. Just like catching a cold, anyone can get head lice. While annoying, they are very common in school-aged children and are the most adaptable of creatures. They have survived living solely on humans for 10,000 years (it never ends!). 

Please be vigilant against these critters and check your child/ren’s hair regularly, particularly behind the ears and neck. 

If you are unlucky enough to come across lice in your child’s hair, please let the school office or your teacher know so they can put out the anonymous alerts. This is important to help eradicate them from the classroom.

Children with head lice are not permitted to attend school until the day after appropriate treatment has started. 

We are aware that head lice can be a sensitive issue and Buninyong PS is committed to maintaining your confidentiality. Please rest assured that head lice can (and does!) happen to anyone. 

The Victorian Department of Health provides a handy website to help parents manage head lice and we appreciate your support with this.
