School Uniform Checks 

Over the next few weeks, our staff will be checking whether students are wearing the correct uniform. Please ensure your child wears the correct items as per our uniform policy when they come to school. Please note the following:

As we are now in the winter months, the full winter formal uniform is to be worn. Our winter uniform does not include a mix of summer and winter uniform items. 

Jewellery

• A watch with the functionality of telling the time and step counting only may be worn (no smart watches).
• Earrings – single plain round metal stud or plain sleeper in both ear lobes. 

Hair

• longer than shoulders must be tied back from face (entirely up).
• hair accessories should be uniform colours.
• haircuts should be no less than ‘Number 2’.

Shoes

• Conventional black school shoes (not black sneakers that are sometimes marketed as school shoes) need to be worn.
• Only students in F-2 may wear black school shoes with Velcro.

Additional items

• No clothing such as singlets, T-shirts or leggings should be visible under the uniform.
• Coats and gloves in maroon, blue or grey are optional and for outside wear only and are worn over the school jumper or the Campus sports jacket.

If you have questions about uniform, please contact Kristen Heath or the Front Office staff. Teachers will send parents an email if they notice there are components of the uniform your family needs to address.

Enrolments for 2024 

If you know someone who is looking to enrol their child in Foundation for 2024 (either Term 1 or midyear), please encourage them to contact Kristen Heath on 8270 3033 or by email, heathk@pilgrim.sa.edu.au. We currently have 27 students enrolled to start Foundation next year and we are considering starting a waiting list for further enrolments. It would be important for families to complete an application for enrolment as soon as possible to secure a placement for 2024.

Volunteering at Pilgrim School 

We remind all family and friends of Pilgrim School that we will have new compulsory requirements for volunteering that will take effect from the start of next term. Please click on this letter previously sent home if you have not yet completed the necessary process. 

We love having volunteers in a range of roles at both Pilgrim School and on Campus. If you have some available time, you may want to help in classrooms (eg listening to reading), become involved with our Learning Assistance Program (working regularly with a student or small group of students), sports coaching or managing, fundraising, helping in the Canteen or Library, or attending camps or excursions.

If you are currently, or are considering, volunteering at Pilgrim School, please read our updated Volunteers Guidelines and Code of Conduct.

Our highest priority is to ensure we maintain a safe environment at Pilgrim School for all children and members of our school community. All volunteers will need to register through our new online Volunteer Registration and Agreement form: 

As you will see, volunteers need to provide details of a current ‘Working with Children Check’ certificate, 'Responding to Risks of Harm, Abuse and Neglect - Education and Care' (RRHAN-EC) certificate and it is highly recommended they also complete online Protective Practices training. Details of accessing these trainings are included in the Volunteer Registration and Agreement Form and on our website.

Please continue to sign in and out through the Front Office (temporarily located with the Campus Office) each time you volunteer at Pilgrim School.
