• Clothing worn will be in the school colours of green and gold. Plain black pants are acceptable with minimal logos.
• Clothing must be sun-safe
• Clothing must be safe and appropriate for all school-based activities
• Closed in shoes must be worn in the gully
• Minimal jewellery that will not impact school activities or is unsafe e.g. dangly earrings or necklaces over clothing
• Year 6 students will have the option of buying a school-designed year 6 jumper and/or shirt which can form part of their uniform during their final year at FHPS

Students should be in sun safe and appropriate clothing that allows them to successfully access all school activities (including sport and fitness) and ensures that they are identifiable as belonging to Flagstaff Hill Primary School. Examples of items that do not align with this are:

• Tank-tops or tops with shoe-string straps
• Thongs, slip-on or backless shoes

• Baseball caps

Parents/caregivers will be contacted if staff have concerns regarding student’s clothing. A student may be asked to remove an unsafe accessory by Leadership.

Excursions:

For safety reasons, students must be in school uniform to attend an excursion, unless an exemption has been granted or other clothing is required (e.g. swimming or aquatics)

Exemptions:

Parents wishing to seek exemption from their child/ren wearing school uniform may do so by requesting an exemption in writing to the Principal. A note written by a parent does not indicate that an exemption has been granted. Exemption may be granted on the following grounds:

• Religious/ cultural beliefs
• itinerant students
• medical or disability reasons

Exemptions

Parents wishing to seek exemption from their child/ren wearing school uniform may do so by requesting an exemption in writing to the Principal. A note written by a parent does not indicate that an exemption has been granted. Exemption may be granted on the following grounds:

• religious/beliefs
• cultural or ethnic
• new student
• itinerant students
• genuine medical or family sickness reasons

Monitoring

Classroom teachers will monitor students’ compliance with the uniform policy, ongoing. Students who do not comply will have a note placed in their diary to be signed by the parent/caregiver and a copy of the current school uniform policy will be enclosed.

If a student continues to fail to wear their school uniform after notes have been sent home, a meeting will be made with the parent/caregiver and the Principal or a Senior staff member to resolve any religious, medical or financial issue preventing the student from wearing the uniform.

Students who do not wear the school uniform will not be able to participate at any out of school activity including camps and excursions or represent the school officially at activities such as SAPSASA etc.
