Uniform Policy
Acceptance of the Uniform Policy at Willunga High School is one of a number of positive outcomes which reflects the quality of our school. These outcomes include pride in one’s appearance and a personal commitment to success. The Uniform Policy has been developed using a consultative process involving parents, Student Representative Council, Governing Council, students and staff.
Governing Council believes that the wearing of uniform is essential for many good reasons and these include:
- A positive school image and identification with the school
- A sense of pride and responsibility in belonging to this school
- A safe environment, as any strangers or visitors to the school can be easily identified
- A sense of equity, since students do not feel that they have to dress competitively
- A lower cost to families in the long term by providing economical, serviceable and safe clothing
It is an expectation that all students will wear school uniform. There will be no exemption from wearing of uniform except for religious or medical reasons.
“Our students can be proud of their school through their school uniform.”
