We ask parents/carers to support us with these uniform standards by ensuring that your son/daughter is appropriately dressed for school and that they have the correct equipment with them.  We firmly believe that if our students are smartly dressed for school in a uniform consistent with school standards, they will be prepared for work in the classroom.
