We are pleased to announce that our new uniforms are now at Lowes in Maddington. They are still waiting on the jumper, but all our summer items are in stock. Old uniforms can continue to be worn for the next two years, as we understand that families are currently under financial pressure.
All schools have uniforms which students are required to wear. The dress requirements are developed by the school council in consultation with students, parents/carers and staff. They take into consideration the climate, diversity of students and the range of activities students undertake. Denim clothing is not allowed as part of any school uniform.
Old style uniforms are still available for purchase from the school office.
Faction Colours
Students are placed in one of the following factions:
Banksia – Red Hovea – Blue Zamia – Green Acacia – Gold
Children are allocated to factions in a manner so as to keep the numbers as even as possible. All siblings will be put into the same faction.
Dress Code Policy
All students are encouraged to wear the school uniform at all times. Items can be purchased from the Uniform Shop located in the Community Building where a sample of the school uniform is on display and also in the school office. The Uniform Shop is operated by ‘Eclipse’ and is open at the school site once a week, with the opening time as listed above.
Faction shirts are available and it is recommended that these be worn on sports days
Parents/caregivers are asked to think about safety when selecting school appropriate footwear. For a variety of safety reasons, thongs and high-heeled shoes are not permitted.
Hat Policy
All children are required to have a sun-safe hat for all outside activities. If a child does not have a hat, he or she will be sent to the undercover area to sit in the shade. “No Hat, No Play”.
School caps are available from Eclipse Uniforms only.
Drink bottle
All children should have a drink bottle to use at physical education and sports sessions.
The brain needs to be properly hydrated in order to be alert. Children who do not get enough water may appear bored, listless and drowsy. Researchers recommend that we drink plenty of water each day. Therefore; we ask parents to provide a water bottle for their child each day clearly labelled with the child’s name. This bottle must contain water only and may be kept in the classroom so it is easily accessible to your child throughout the day. The body identifies fruit juice as a food because of the sugar content. The body triggers the digestive process, which also drains water from the body. Only water provides proper hydration.
Jewellery, Make-up and Nail Polish
For the sake of the children’s safety, jewellery should not be worn to school (except for watches and ear studs). Students are not permitted to wear Make-up or Nail Polish.
