PHYSICAL EDUCATION SUMMER AND WINTER UNIFORM

It is an expectation that all students in Physical Education classes at Dandenong High School, will wear the correct and approved PE uniform and footwear. Students will be issued with consequences if they do not bring/wear the correct uniform at all times.

Approved PE uniform:

There are no variations to this uniform and students must wear the complete PE uniform in all PE classes. Approved PE uniform items can be purchased from the school uniform supplier Dandy Schoolwear.

Approved Footwear:

During Physical Education classes, students are involved in a number of activities which if not wearing the appropriate footwear can cause injury and a risk to the students. Students are often playing on uneven surfaces, and varying surface types, and are engaging in activities where a constant change of direction is required, as well as shock absorption.

It is the policy of the PE department at Dandenong High School to only allow students to participate in Physical Education classes if they are wearing the appropriate footwear. The term ‘appropriate footwear’ does not just refer to shoes that are just a comfortable fit.

Appropriate/approved footwear refers to:

  • Shoes that offer support for the feet and ankles.
  • Shoes that have soles that cushion and have a non-skid surface
  • Shoes that have laces to provide additional support

Samples of approved footwear as below:

Non-approved footwear includes:

  • Slip-on shoes, including kick boxing, ballet or canvas style shoes
  • Shoes with little or no cushioning – flat surface such as chucks and volleys
  • Shoes without laces
  • Any fashion style shoe that is not designed to be worn for physical activity
