Page 1 of 5 Uniform Parents, staff and students support the School s Dress Code. Enrolment at the school is on the understanding that the School s Dress Code will be adhered to. Students on trips/excursions must be in uniform unless the consent of the Principal has been granted. Dress code School uniform can help to achieve equality, reduce potential for bullying and create a strong identity for the school community. We at SGS strongly believe that high standards of dress are important for establishing a purposeful learning environment and for demonstrating personal pride. Appropriate uniform must be worn by children at all times. All school uniform can be purchased from the School Uniform Shop based in-house on the basement. Please refer to the uniform list below for information regarding the correct uniform. PE uniform is to be worn, to school, on the relevant days by all children (please refer to student timetables available during week 1). Black shoes or black trainers are allowed as part of the school uniform. Please ensure that all uniform is tagged with the student s name. In colder weather, students may wear the school sweatshirt. Hooded tops are not permitted in school, as they are not part of the SGS dress code. For safety reasons we ask that students do not wear jewellery to school. A student may wear a watch. If your child has pierced ears then please make sure that they only wear one pair of small, gold or silver studs in school. Other piercings are not permitted in school. Students are not permitted to wear nail polish and/or make up. Students with long hair should arrive in school with it tied back in a ponytail or plait. Hair colour should be natural and extreme hairstyles are not allowed; this includes Mohawks, tram lines etc.

Hair Students are required to wear sensible, closed-in footwear or approved sandals to school. Thongs, Ugg boots and masseur type thongs are NOT considered to be appropriate footwear. Should a student s medical condition necessitate the wearing of any of these items then a written note must be provided by the Parent/Caregiver. All students must ensure that their hair does not create a safety or health risk. Students with long hair who attend practical classes will be required to tie their hair back before they are permitted to participate in lessons. We recommend that long hair be tied back as a preventive measure in avoiding/containing the spread of head lice. 3. Hats It is a part of our school policy that ALL children are to wear broad brim hats for all organised physical education activities and while playing outside during recess and lunch time. The no hat no play policy is fully supported by the Cancer Foundation as an effective means of protecting students from the harmful effects of over exposure to UV rays. Please support this policy in the interests of your child s long term health. Broad brim hats may be purchased through the Office or the Uniform Shop. Policy Daily uniform checks will be conducted by staff and senior members of staff. If students are not following the code, phone calls will be made to parents on a regular basis followed by a letter. Continuous breach of the Uniform code may lead to your child not being allowed to enter school.
