3 INTRODUCTION School Uniform is an important part in the life of a school and at Pilgrim we are proud of our uniform and children are required and expected to wear the uniform when at school. Reasons for wearing school uniform include: It gives a public face to the School in the community It promotes pride in children to be associated with their peers and school It has a safety value in that children are easily identified when outside of school grounds It reduces peer pressure in having to wear the latest fashions or name brand items of clothing It helps solve the what shall I wear dilemmas in the morning It acknowledges the school environment as a type of work place for learning and the items of clothing reflect this The uniform is based on the colours of blue, maroon and grey. All 3 Campus schools have similar uniform requirements, but Pilgrim and Nativity require children to wear uniform whereas Thiele has a dress code based on the Campus colours. Parents are expected to ensure that children are dressed in the correct uniform. Teachers will monitor the wearing of uniforms and follow up with children and parents when necessary. Parent support of our Uniform Policy will allow teachers greater time to focus on learning opportunities for children.

If there is a particular reason (eg wet jumpers) as to why a child is not in correct uniform, a note to the class teacher is required. The class teacher should be first point of contact by parents with concerns about their child s uniform. For exceptions to the above requirements (eg medical issues), please contact the Principal. When children are not in correct uniform, a note will be sent home to parents indicating what the issue is and parents are asked to attend to the issue. Sports uniforms are to be worn to school on days when there are Physical Education lessons. Teachers will inform classes of this. Sport shoes may be required on other days for fitness activities. Children are required to bring their sport shoes to school on these days and change at school. Sport shoes are not to be worn to and from school with regular uniform. The Principal may be contacted about general policy issues and persisting difficulties. The School Board becomes involved with policy issues rather than individual situations. SNEAKERS/SPORT SHOES These are only to be worn for physical education or fitness lessons. They should be brought in a bag for changing at school or stored at school. Sneakers must not be worn to and from school, except on the nominated physical education lesson day. O:\Admin\Policies\Current Policy\Admin Operational\208 UNIFORM POLICY 2017.docx PAGE 5 OF 6
