SCHOOL UNIFORM
The Parents & Citizens' Association has determined that students are required to wear the correct school uniform at school and while going to and from school. On certain other specified occasions the full uniform will be required, including school excursions. On other excursions and for some activities, students are required to wear alternative clothes, as detailed by the teacher in charge.
The uniform is very serviceable, neat and attractive. It is expected that students will always wear the uniform fully and properly. Care should be taken to keep it clean, neat and tidy.
It is expected that all students wear the correct designated uniform. Students who have difficulty buying a uniform should see the Principal. Students should not expect to represent the school on official activities unless they are wearing the correct uniform. Students not in a complete school uniform are to carry a dated explanatory note from home and to have this note signed by a member of the Administration or student group teacher.

QUEENSLAND EDUCATION DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS CONCERNING FOOTWEAR
Departmental regulations require that students attending Home Economics, Manual Arts and Science Laboratory classes MUST wear protective footwear. These requirements are met by LEATHER shoes, SUEDE shoes or shoes with FULL VINYL UPPERS. Other safety standards involving hair, jewellery etc must also be met.
Parents should be aware that the Principal of a school has no discretion in this matter and the regulation is enforced. Missing these practical lessons seriously disadvantages a student in his or her progress in such subjects.
The regulations contained in the new Workplace Health and Safety Act make it even more important that we abide by these safety requirements.
PARENTAL CO-OPERATION IN ENSURING THAT STUDENTS WEAR APPROPRIATE FOOTWEAR IS ESSENTIAL.
