Uniforms

Background

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 Codes for Students Procedures.

Rationale

Dress codes are tangible evidence of the standards expected of students. A school’s dress code plays an important role in promoting a positive image of the school and creating a sense of identity among students.

The Kellerberrin District High School Board and community believe that the School Dress Code:

  • Develops pride and school community spirit in students.
  • Enhances the public image and status of the school.
  • Encourages equity among students.
  • Ensures students are dressed safely for specific school activities e.g., physical education, excursions.
  • Promotes the school’s Sun Smart Policy and protects students from ultraviolet radiation.
  • Keeps the cost of clothing within reasonable limits for parents.
  • Promotes safety of students through easy identification.
  • Assists students to learn the importance of appropriate presentation.

Purpose

To provide parents and students with a dress code that is safe and appropriate for school activities, reasonable by contemporary standards, is affordable to parents, and considers the risks of ultraviolet radiation.

To provide appropriate processes for exemption or modification related to student health, ethnic considerations, religion or any other matter, which in the Principal’s opinion, is sufficient to exempt a student from the dress code requirements.

Guidelines

Acceptance of enrolment at Kellerberrin District High School assumes an agreement that the enrolling student will dress within the guidelines of the School Dress Code, including any negotiated exemptions.   Students must always wear the school uniform including, when representing the school at sporting events and excursions.   The wearing of clothing showing motifs or pictures that may be seen to be offensive to others or inappropriate is not acceptable.   Uniforms can be purchased from the Kellerberrin District High School School P&C Uniform Shop.
