​Uniform Policy​

​Uniform Policy​ ​Uniform and appearance​ ​Good Shepherd Lutheran Primary School students are identified within the community by the​ ​uniform they wear. The school uniform is intended to develop a sense of pride in appearance and​ ​a feeling of unity as a group of students representing Good Shepherd Lutheran Primary School.​ ​All students are required to wear the official uniform as specified by the school. A complete​ ​school uniform is to be worn while travelling to and from school, regardless of whether or not it​ ​is within school hours.​ ​All items of school uniform, with the exception of school shoes, are to be purchased from the​ ​school Uniform Shop. In the rare event of a student having to attend school out of uniform,​ ​parents are asked to provide a note of explanation. This note is to be shown to the class teacher​ ​upon arrival at school and retained by the student throughout the day. All students not wearing​ ​the correct school uniform may be requested by a member of staff to provide an explanation.​ ​Garments worn under the shirt or dress for added warmth must not be visible.​ ​School hats are to be worn by students outdoors. In line with advice from the Cancer Council,​ ​the school hat is to be worn whenever the ultraviolet (UV) radiation level reaches 3 or above. For​ ​health reasons, the school does not provide spare hats.​ ​It is important to note that optional uniform items are not permitted to be worn on special​ ​occasions such as performances, school photographs etc, or those occasions as nominated by​ ​the Principal.​ ​The school may occasionally have free dress days when the students are permitted to wear​ ​casual clothing. On these days, clothing must be clean and neat and closed in shoes must be​ ​worn. Refer to the Free Dress Guidelines for further information.​
