Introduction

The following guidelines have been developed to support our School Uniform Policy.

They aim to assist our school community to recognise the benefits of wearing a school uniform and are supported by the school board, P&C, students and staff.

Wearing the Uniform at West Beechboro

The School uniform is the outward mark that a student belongs to West Beechboro Primary School. The appropriate uniform must be worn at all times when representing the School, when travelling to and from school during excursions and other school based activities and when attending either an interschool activity or function such as a play or concert. Students are expected to wear their uniform in such a way as to show pride in being identified with the School.

Students should be aware that the appearance of the School uniform depends to a large extent upon how it is worn – its cleanliness, its fit, its state of repair and the bearing of its wearer. Particular care should be taken to ensure that appropriate footwear is worn at all times. Thongs are not permitted, however closed in sandals may be worn in summer but are not suitable to wear on sport days or during physical education lessons.

Students must wear the approved School uniform during the School day, the School week and the School term.

These periods are defined as follows:-

Monday to Friday during the normal school week between 8.30am and 3.00pm
