FULL SCHOOL UNIFORM
Students are expected to wear their full school uniform on all days except in specific occasions such as those listed below. These occasions are always publicised in the school Newsletter.
SPORTS UNIFORM
Students are expected to wear their sports uniform on the day of the week on which their class does sport. This may vary from grade to grade and students will be advised of their day by their teacher at the beginning of each year. Sports uniform is also generally worn on days where students will be involved in sport in a major way e.g. for sports carnivals or special sports events. Parents will be advised of these through the Newsletter or on the permission slip for the event.
MUFTI DAYS
Occasionally we have a “Mufti Day” at school. This is a day on which students are not required to wear their uniform, but can wear suitable casual clothes instead. Mufti clothing should however be appropriate for school, and footwear should be sturdy enough to play in. Mufti Days are usually held in conjunction with a charitable or fund-raising event, so if students wear “mufti” they would bring in a coin donation for the event.
OTHER “DRESS-UP”DAYS
Sometimes students are asked to ‘dress-up’ for a particular occasion – usually a celebration of some kind. Parents are advised in the Newsletter beforehand that these occasions are coming up on the calendar and are advised what kind of ‘dress-up’ is expected.
Examples of these are:
SUMMER/WINTER UNIFORM CHANGEOVER
As a general rule, Summer Uniform is worn in Term 1 and Term 4 and Winter Uniform is worn in Term 2 and Term 3. However, these times may alter if extreme temperature changes occur close to the changeover period. Advice of changeover dates will always be published in the Newsletter.
PAINTING SMOCKS AND SHIRTS
All students should bring to school a painting smock or protective cover up to wear for Art lessons. Old adult-sized shirts can easily be converted into a protective cover up / painting smock.
UNIFORM SUPPLIERS
New Uniform Stockists:
Our School Uniform Shop is located behind the Reading/Maths Storeroom, off the end of the Primary COLA.
Used Clothing Pool
Our School Uniform Shop also runs a Used Clothing Pool. If you wish to sell unwanted uniform items through the Used Clothing Pool please deliver them in a clean condition to the School Office. Please attach a note to each item with your name, phone number, child’s class and a suggested price. One third of the price is kept by the Uniform Shop for this service. The Used Clothing Pool operates for the same hours and from the same location as the School Uniform Shop.
JEWELLERY
As a safety precaution, students are not to wear necklaces, chains or bracelets to school. Earrings should be restricted to stud-type sleepers.
LOST PROPERTY
PLEASE clearly write your child’s name on all items of clothing that they are likely to remove at school, including shoes and socks. Please also label school bags, lunch box, and drink bottles. When the weather conditions are changeable at the beginning of each season students often lose unlabelled jackets and jumpers as they take them off.
A Lost Property basket is in the Sick Bay in the Administration Building and parents are welcome to come and check through it for lost items. Items found in the Kindergarten to Year 2 playground area are kept in a Year 2 room. Items found in the primary section are kept in 4W. Each Friday the Lost Property is added to that in the basket in the Administration building. At the end of each term all UNNAMED and UNCLAIMED items are sent to charity. Please ask at the front desk for any valuable lost items such as watches / glasses etc

a parade during the day. - Book Week – one day during Book Week (usually Term 3) students often dress as their favourite book
character or in accordance with another theme - NAIDOC Day – celebrating Aboriginal Australia and usually in Term 2. Students wear clothes in the
colours of the Aboriginal flag: red/yellow/black - Concert days (Family Day, End-of-Year Concert) – teachers will inform parents about any ‘dress-up’
requirements for these days.
