School Dress Code For Students

Kindergarten - Year 6

The aim in encouraging students to wear school uniform is to

promote a positive image of the school and to develop a sense

of pride and identity.

We believe that while students wear the school uniform and

colours that it should not suppress a child’s individuality and or

personal, cultural and religious beliefs.
