Senior Students - Years 7 & 8
In 2010 the student school executives consulted with students, teachers and parents on optional differences to the uniform for senior school students. The purpose of this change was to provide senior students with a sense of identify as leaders of the school. These are optional extras that students may choose to wear in addition to the standard uniform. Students are highly encouraged to have the standard West Melton School uniform in addition to these optional items.
Girls & Boys-
- Gold with blue collar WMS polo style shirt (optional)
- Named navy WMS hoodie (optional)
- Bucket hat (Terms 1 & 4)
Representative Apparel
All pupils must wear our representative apparel when representing West Melton School e.g. Sporting Events, Choir, School Trips etc.
This apparel consists of a navy blue and gold polo top and navy blue shorts. We encourage parents to purchase the apparel or alternatively these can be borrowed at a cost of $5 for the day and must be returned the same day. It is important our image of West Melton School is positive and attractive.
School Tracksuits
In 2000 we received a Pub Charities Donation, which enabled the school to purchase a full set of very attractive tracksuits which children are able to borrow at no cost when representing the school.
School Sun Hats
In Terms 1 & 4 it is compulsory that all pupils wear our school sunhat whenever they are outside i.e. morning tea, lunch and other activities. These can be purchased from the school office. Children without hats will have to play out of the sun in designated areas (no hat, no play in the sun).
Senior school students (Years 7 & 8) have the option of a navy bucket style hat.
