WCHS UNIFORM POLICY

Warnbro Community High School’s uniform policy was developed by the School Board in consultation with students, their parents and staff of our school. The range of uniform pieces are varied enough for students to individualise their look, cater for WA’s climate and accommodates Warnbro Community High School activities.

The Department’s Dress Codes for Students Policy, states that all Public Schools are required to have a dress code and students are required to comply with the code, unless they have been granted an exemption. Exemptions and sanctions will be managed in accordance with the School Education Regulations 2000 and requirements in the Dress Code for Student Procedures.

  • The dress requirement applies at all times when attending school or school excursions;
  • Students wearing the uniform outside of the school are expected to behave in a manner that promotes a positive school image;
  • All uniform items can be purchased from the store – Hot Klobba in Port Kennedy;
  • Appropriate footwear must be worn by all students.

Personal Presentation

It is important that students take pride in themselves, the school and the community.

  • Uniform items are to be neat and clean;
  • Uniform items are to be worn to size and design;
  • We encourage students to be sun smart.

Aim

A school uniform reinforces in students a pride in their own appearance, instils recognition of themselves as an integral part of the school community and assists in developing pride in representing their school. Issues of equality, health and safety are factors that contribute to the establishment of the uniform.
