Tomaree Public School

Student Uniform Policy

Uniforms should reflect school community standards and be consistent with occupational health and safety, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation. Fully enclosed appropriate footwear must be worn at all times by students.

The Dept of Education and Training supports the wearing of school uniforms and the upholding of high standards of dress by students.

Our school uniform consists of a limited range of clothing including footwear and headwear. It identifies our students as belonging to our school. The whole school community has a role to play in encouraging the meeting of these standards.

Positive reinforcement and encouraging responsible behavior are the preferred approaches to ensuring students wear the school uniform. Responses to students who do not wear the uniform correctly will be appropriate.

·  the child is spoken to by staff.

·  the child is asked to provide a note from parents

·  2nd hand items will be provided if possible

If non compliance continues, a note will be sent home for parents to sign and return

and participation in some activities may be withheld for occupational health and safety and/or duty-of-care reasons.

If the family is unable to provide the uniform due to financial difficulty - the school will provide assistance as necessary.

Students who are representing the school in outside activities must be in correct school uniform.

The school’s uniform policy and uniform requirements should be reviewed at least every 5 years and amended where necessary.
