School uniform policy

In 2001 the Kalamunda Senior High School Council endorsed the introduction of a full school uniform rather than a dress code. This endorsement came after a survey of all families who overwhelmingly supported the introduction of a school uniform policy. The school expects our students to be proud of their appearance and wearing the uniform is both a condition of enrolment and is necessary for students to maintain their Good Standing.
