School Uniform and Dress Code

All students are part of the team – working and playing together and from time to time, representing the school. Part of this is the identification of students as belonging to and wearing the school uniform with pride.

At there is an established a dress code for all students Kindergarten to Year 6. This has been developed in partnership with parents and designed to cater for all ages. A school dress code:

  • fosters and enhances the public image of the school
  • assists in building school and team spirit
  • ensures students are safely dressed for specific school activities
  • encourages equity by removing competitive “fashion” items among students; and
  • prepares students for school and work, as dress and safety codes are a requirement.

Guidelines

  • The uniforms include a range of items. These are available from Uniform Concepts in Willetton
