Uniform is of important value to the children, Marfell Community School, and the community at large, because it:
1. Develops a sense of pride and belonging in our children and in doing so contributes toward raising achievement and a positive self-esteem.
2. Raises our community profile and promotes a positive image by establishing a standard of clothing to be worn.
3. Enhances the children’s safety via increased visibility and distinguishes them from other schools when at inter-school activities.
4. Minimises competition among children wearing labelled or more expensive clothing.
Please name all clothing, towels, lunch boxes and school bags. Please ensure that your child/children comply with our uniform policy by wearing correct items of uniform to school. All uniform items are available for purchase from the office by eftpos or cash.
We now have alternative uniform items available from the office:
lower cost alternative polo shirts (red with no logo)
second hand official polo shirts
Please ensure all your child's clothing and personal gear is clearly named as found items can be returned. This is especially important with uniform. Lost property can be checked on request of the teacher or office staff. Any unclaimed clothing is donated to a recycled clothing organisation at the end of a term.
