Uniform

The wearing of the correct full school uniform is compulsory. It gives the students a sense of belonging and pride in their school. We ask parents to insist that their children wear the correct uniform at all times. If this is not possible, please address a note to the class teacher which will be passed on to the Principal. Students who do not wear the correct uniform will be asked to explain. 

All school uniform requirements are available from Lowes at Westfield, Penrith. The school hat is part of the uniform. Every child is to wear the school hat every day when outside. Our hat policy encourages children to wear a hat, otherwise sit in the shade. Hats are available, at all times, through the school office. The compulsory school bag with logo is also available from the school.

Uniform Pool

With the assistance of parents, a second hand uniform stall operates every Tuesday at 2:30pm-2.45pm. This enables good second hand uniforms to be sold at very reasonable prices. 

Sports uniform will be worn twice weekly, days differ each grade. Children may be required to bring sports shoes at other times, as indicated in the newsletter. Sports shoes should be mainly white in colour. Sports shoes are not part of the general school uniform.

• all outer clothing, which children may be required to remove, must be clearly labelled with the child’s name - this will ensure your child does not lose any part of his/her uniform or any costly personal property (please check labels periodically to ensure the name has not washed off and that it in fact belongs to your child)
