Unusual circumstances
If any dress or grooming issues arise which are not covered in this policy, the Vice-Principal Primary and Principal will decide on what is appropriate and any necessary course of action.

We ask all parents to support our uniform policy by ensuring their child has the correct uniform, that it is clean and in good repair. If for any reason a student is unable to wear the correct uniform for the day, they must bring a note from home. Students can be sent home or asked to work in the Vice-Principal Primary’s/Principal’s office if they continue to wear the incorrect uniform.

PE lessons
If PE is timetabled for first thing in the morning, students can wear their PE uniform to school and change into their batik uniform after the lesson. If PE is later in the day, students must wear their batik uniform to school and change into their PE gear later.

House activities

On days House activities are scheduled, students can either wear their house shirts to school, or wear their batik uniform, and change into their house shirts later.

Excursions
Students are expected to wear their batik uniform or PE kit as directed.

• Hair should be neat and tidy; long hair must be tied back
• Hair must be a natural colour. If dyed, the colour must not draw attention. Approval is at the discretion of the Vice-Principal Primary and Principal

• Students may wear a plain white t-shirt under their uniform for warmth. Other forms of underclothing must not be visible
