Uniform Policy

St Clare’s Primary School

Policy

St Clare’s Primary School will have a school uniform that provides adequate sun protection, is suitably modest, allows freedom of movement, is comfortable and durable, and purchase does not impose financial burdens on parents. The wearing of full school uniform is compulsory and we see the enforcement of this policy as a shared responsibility between home and school.

Implementation

Religious medals and crosses and medical bracelets may be worn. No other jewellery is to be worn with the school uniform except for watches and plain studs or small sleepers in pierced ears.
Nail polish is not to be worn with the school uniform.
Long hair is to be tied back.
Any additional headwear (e.g. headbands, ribbons, scrunchies) must be in school colours – green, black and/or ochre.
During all outdoor activities school hats are to be worn. Children will not be allowed to play outdoors if they do not wear their school hat.
Children essentially need one pair of shoes and that is sensible, BLACK joggers or sandshoes. These shoes can be worn for the five school days.
If a child is not in full, correct uniform, parents are asked to notify the child’s teacher or the Principal as to the reason by note, by telephone, by email or in person.
If a child is persistently out of uniform, a uniform note will be sent home with the child citing the aspect of the uniform that requires attention.
