Uniform

RATIONALE

In accordance with the Regulation under the Education Act, the Governing Council has the power to decide the appropriate uniform for the school. All students in years 7-12 at Heathfield High School are required to wear the school uniform.

Reasons why all students wear the school uniform:

• identification with the school
• a sense of pride in belonging to this school
• cost effective and durable clothing
• assisting in the provision of a safe school environment
• an opportunity for students to feel respect for themselves and others because of their positive image

NON-COMPLIANCE

Students who are not compliant with school uniform will be asked to change into a school provided uniform on days they attend with the incorrect uniform. Students may also be restricted from accessing recess and lunch breaks while in non-uniform clothing. They may also:

on the first occasion, a behaviour record for non-compliant uniform will be recorded and the garment/ hat/ item confiscated and handed to the front office. School supplied loan uniform can be provided for those who require it.The item can be collected Friday Break 1 of the same week after a 30-minute detention in FSC.

on the second occasion, a behaviour record for non-compliant uniform will be recorded and the garment/ hat/ item confiscated and handed to the front office. School supplied loan uniform can be provided for those who require it. The item can be collected Friday Break 1 of the same week after a 30-minute detention in FSC.

once a third behaviour record for non-compliant uniform has been issued the garment/ hat/ item of clothing will be confiscated and handed to the front office. The item can then be collected Friday Break 1 on the last week of term.  If consistently non-compliant the student will be followed up by the Year Level Leader and contact will be made with the Parent/ Caregiver.

In the event of the student not having access to the correct uniform, we recommend parents provide students with a written note from home explaining non-compliant clothing. The student would still likely be required to loan/borrow the correct uniform.

Parents and students are advised that any garments other than the approved uniform items are NOT part of the school uniform and are therefore unacceptable.

WHERE TO PURCHASE THE UNIFORM

It is highly recommended that all items of the school uniform are purchased from Hills Schoolwear at Mt Barker (exception - plain, completely black shoes, white, navy or black socks). This will avoid non-compliant uniform e.g. correct navy blue pants.
