Suitable alternatives for trousers, pants, shorts, and skorts may be sourced from other suppliers, providing they are plain Navy Blue, do not have obvious, visible logos and are of the same style and fabric of the uniform. NO denim, leggings or track pants.

Students may wear the following approved items:

• Stockings: black coloured stockings (maximum 40 denier) may be worn underneath the dress or skirt for warmth
• Undershirts: Plain navy or white undershirts may be worn under polo shirts
• Hats: We recommend students wear hats and sunscreen when involved in activities outside. In some cases this may be compulsory. Within buildings, all headwear is to be removed
• Shoes: Students are required to wear closed shoes (i.e. sandshoes, skate shoes or school shoes)
• Unacceptable Footwear: Boots covering the ankle (e.g. work boots or Ugg boots), slip on shoes with exposed tops and shoes or boots that have steel caps in the toes due to WH&S regulations.
• Make-Up & Jewellery: must be discrete at all times (as appropriate for work environment). Fingernails should be of a length that enables the safe participation in practical and sporting activities. Facial jewellery will be required to be removed in practical classes for safety reasons. These items of jewellery should be restricted to studs only. Exceptions: bracelets of a ‘medic-alert’ or similar type and items with religious significance for students actively involved with religion.

• Modification to the uniform for religious or medical reasons or disability is allowable through individual negotiation
• In situations of financial hardship, arrangements will be made by the Student Wellbeing Leaders and/or the Principal, to supply students with correct uniform
• New students may be exempt from wearing school uniform until they can purchase one. This will be negotiated between the family and the enrolling staff before the student starts

• If no explanation is provided, students will be required to change into appropriate uniform or parents may be asked to collect their child so they can change
• Students wearing conspicuous makeup or jewellery will be required to remove it following contact with parents, or be sent home
• Failure to comply with requests to wear appropriate uniform will be managed through the school’s Positive Behaviours for Learning Policy.
