Uniform

OUR COMMUNITY

Uniform

At Our Lady Star of the Sea our uniform is a sign of our community. It reflects the school vision statement and goals.

Students wear a uniform:

  • to develop a sense of student unity, pride and loyalty to our school and to its vision.
  • to de-emphasise differences in appearance.
  • to focus on the real purpose of schooling i.e. the development of an individuality of intellect, imagination and personality.

It is the responsibility of all parents to ensure that students are attired in correct, well fitting, complete school uniform. Uniforms must be in good condition and repair. Current uniform is to be worn therefore during school hours, and to and from school.

If some accident or difficulty prevents children from wearing correct uniform on any day, parents are required to send a note of explanation to the child’s class teacher. Class teachers will contact parents to follow up incorrect uniform wearing.
