REQUIREMENTS
Uniform
Uniforms
Our official school uniform is to be worn by the students with pride and respect as a representative of St Joseph's Catholic Primary School. Children not wearing the correct uniform are required to present a note to their teacher from their parents.
If in doubt, check with the Principal before purchasing items or getting haircuts. Do not rely on your child’s advice or rumors about what other students may or may not be wearing. Uniform requirements can be expensive, and it is important to purchase the correct items.
Uniforms can be purchased from the school office.
Wearing of School Hats
In accordance with our Sun Safety Policy, hats are to be worn when children are entering and exiting the school grounds, in the open, during certain lessons, during excursions and physical education activities. Your support is sought by providing your child with the correct school hat and ensuring that he/she brings it to school.
