/ Killarney State School Dress Code

It is an expectation, endorsed by resolution of the P&C that students wear the school uniform daily. The wearing of the full school uniform shows a student’s self-respect and pride in the school. Parent co-operation is sought in ensuring students are correctly attired.

The school uniform is required daily and is an expectation for school trips and nominated school functions. It is school policy that enclosed shoes be worn for all occasions. Students not in full uniform will not be permitted to attend out-of-school activities.

  • Jewellery or other adornment is not to be worn to school except a modest wristwatch, a single set of small plain sleepers or studs and a plain ring. Medical information jewellery is permitted.
  • Facial piercing is not permitted. Any existing piercing must contain a clear small stud. Safety requirements are that piercing must be removed for physical activity and removed or covered for food handling lessons.

  • Visible tattoos are not permitted. Any existing tattoos must be covered at all times.
  • Nail polish or make up is not to be worn.

Students out of uniform are expected to wear a similar replacement garment (appropriate and blue) and bring a note from the parent or guardian explaining the circumstances for each day they are out of uniform. This note is to be presented to the Class or Form teacher before school. Students may be required to wear a loaned uniform item or items for the day, from the school bank of uniforms located in the office administration area.

If a uniform item worn provides an issue for exposure or modestythe student will be required to wear a loaned uniform item or items for the day, from the school bank of uniforms located in the office administration area.

If incorrect hats are worn, the students will be asked to remove the hat and not be permitted in the playground.
