School Uniform
Mary MacKillop School places a strong emphasis upon the adherence by
children and parents to school uniform regulations.
As a school we believe that there are many advantages to the maintenance
of a consistent school uniform code.
These advantages are not only administrative but are of benefit to both
our school students and their families.
It is the expectation of the school that upon the enrolment of their child,
parents give an undertaking to fully support and implement this school
uniform policy.
Sports Uniform
The sports uniform is applicable to all children from Prep to Year 6 and is
to be worn on nominated weekly sports days.
Note: Tracksuit pants and runners are not appropriate uniform on days
other than sports days.
Jewellery
Children are not to wear jewellery to school. In the interests of safety,
children with jewellery (especially rings) will be asked to leave such items
with their class teacher.
These can be collected at the end of the day. Stud and small sleeper earrings
are acceptable,
Monitoring
All children are expected to attend school in appropriate school uniform.
If, through unforeseen circumstances parents are unable to send their
child in appropriate uniform on a particular day a note is required. Should
a child consistently attend school out of school uniform a letter will be
sent home from the class teacher along with a copy of this policy if appropriate.
In cases of hardship, every effort will be made by the school to
assist parents to provide their children with the appropriate uniform.
