Student Uniform Policy and Procedures

ALL students attending Murray Bridge North School will wear full school uniform as approved by the Governing Council.

Guiding Principle

The purpose of the Uniform Policy is to support and encourage all students attending our school be clearly identifiable in our school colours and to be recognized as belonging to the Murray Bridge North School.

The Uniform Policy has been determined by the Governing Council after consultation with the school community, parents/caregivers, students and staff.

Parents and carers are expected to support the student’s wearing of the school uniform and acknowledge this support at the time of student enrolment.

Procedures for School Uniform

Every student will wear school uniform at school and on all excursions, trips and when attending school events. Students may wear the special purpose Year 6 top, choir top, Deadly Award top or sports uniform as appropriate or as approved by the Principal or Deputy Principal for special events from time to time.

The school uniform is to be worn in the appropriate manner. When in class the uniform is to be worn ‘on the outside’ of other clothing so the blue collar is clear and visible.

What is our School Uniform?

The uniform is defined as the following:

• A plain navy polo top or a navy with red trim polo top, with or without the school logo, supported by a navy jumper or navy jacket with red trim with or without the school logo.
• Black, navy or grey pants or shorts. This includes denim or track pants but must be plain (side stripe is acceptable but NO advertising logos).
• Students may also wear the school summer dress (red or blue check), or black, navy or dark skirt or shorts with the appropriate school top. This includes a denim skirt (however the guidelines for length and appropriateness apply). Black tights or leggings may be worn under the skirt or shorts.
• A hat which is a school ‘bucket’ or broad brimmed hat in navy. Murray Bridge North School is a SUNSAFE School and all students are to wear a school hat that meets the SUNSAFE Guidelines.
• An appropriate hat will be worn by all students during Terms 1 and 4, however, no hat is required in Term 2 or Term 3.
• No hat = no play. Students without a hat in Terms 1 and 4 will sit / play under identified shelter areas.
• Shoes should be sneakers, runners or solid shoes.
• No open toe sandals are acceptable for Occupational Health and Safety reasons.
• All footwear needs to be secured to the student’s feet by a strap, Velcro or laces.
• The preference is for the sole of shoes / runner to be white as this protects the gym floor.
• Students are to wear hair colour which is a natural colour.
• Students with hair that is shoulder length or longer need to tie their hair back using a plain hair tie.

Not Part of School Uniform.

For safety reasons, the wearing of jewellery, rings and necklaces is to be minimal, with the exception of simple studs and / or sleepers, watches and “medi – alert” type medallions. Any jewellery containing a ‘loop’ or ring is not acceptable. Other visible piercings will be small studs only.

In support of the SUNSAFE policy and for general student safety, the following articles are NOT school wear-

• Miniskirts or brief shorts – the student must be able to stand upright, with their arms to their side and the tips of their fingers touching their shorts or skirt.
• High heeled shoes, slippers or thongs. Slip-on shoes are not to be worn to school.
• Make-up
• Articles of clothing with inappropriate wording or designs.
