UNIFORM POLICY

RATIONALE

Uniforms are tangible evidence of the standards expected by a school. A school’s dress requirements play an important role in promoting the positive image of the school and creating a sense of identity among the students.

The School Decision Making Group of MidvalePrimary School has established a dress code for all students attending the School.

The School Decision Making Group believes a school dress code:

  • fosters and enhances the public image of the school;
  • assists in building school and team spirit;
  • ensures students are safely dressed for specific activities;
  • encourages equity among students; and
  • prepares students for work, as many work places have dress and safety codes.

PARENT AND STUDENT DRESS CODE INFORMATION:

On acceptance of enrolment parents will be informed of the school dress code and asked to support this policy.

SCHOOL UNIFORM:

Students are expected to wear school uniform during school hours and when they represent the school out of school hours or for any public performance the children may be involved in. All items of clothing must be clearly marked with the child’s name. Students who may need to modify the dress code for health or religious reasons should first consult the Principal. NO JEANS

The school uniform is available through the administration office.

WHOLESCHOOL APPROACHES:

  • At the end of each week the councillors will come around and collect points for the week and add them to the total in the undercover area.
  • At the end of each fortnight the class with the most uniform points will be announced at assembly and will get an icy pole at lunchtime that day.
  • At the end of each term the points will go towards the whole school faction reward.

INTERVENTIONS

  1. When a student comes without uniform they will be given a warning and asked to be in uniform on the following day or have a note explaining why they can’t wear their uniform.
  2. When a student comes on the second day with no uniform and no note they will have a note to take home requesting that they wear their uniform or bring a note explaining why they can’t.
  3. When the student comes on the third day with no uniform and no note they will be sent to admin and the child’s contacts will be phoned.
  4. If the non compliance continues the administration will continue to liaise with the child’s contacts.

If a student is wearing inappropriate clothes [e.g. bright colours/singlets/logos/jeans] to school they will be given a uniform to wear for the day which needs to be returned at the end of the day.

If a child is representing the school the administration can prevent a child from attending or participating if they are not in uniform.

Whenever any action is taken it must be entered on the student’s activity folder on Integris.
