SCHOOL UNIFORM

Five years ago saw a major revamp of the school uniform.  A Uniform Policy was written and we now expect all children to wear the school uniform.  This uniform is available from the school office for your convenience.

This is our uniform policy:

POLICY STATEMENT:   SCHOOL UNIFORM

Rationale:

  •    The Board of Trustees strongly support the wearing of the school uniform.
  •    The school uniform will give the children a sense of belonging
                 and provide a unifying and equitable standard of dress so students
                 can learn comfortably.

Purpose:

  •    To give pupils a sense of belonging.
  •    To eliminate competition.
  •    To ensure that clothing is safe  for the usual range of school activities.
  •    To give families reasonably priced school wear.

Guidelines:

On enrollment parents are asked to give an undertaking that they will abide by the school policies.  Parents will be given a brochure noting uniform requirements.

On the part of the school we will ensure that:

  •    The cost of uniforms are kept as cheap as possible.
  •    The dress code, which can be revised at any time, will set out specific
                 uniform codes for   boys and girl sand is attached  to this policy. 
  •    Second hand uniforms are available.

Articles of Clothing unacceptable for school wear:   Jandals, jeans, tight skirts, all jewelry, except studs and watches, and other clothing deemed unsafe or offensive.

Conclusion:

This policy will help achieve our aim to improve self-esteem of our students.  It is expected that all students in our school will wear this uniform.
