Vasse Primary School has created a dress code in line with the Department of Education’s recommendations and follows clear guidelines.
The school’s Dress Code policy aims to install pride in students and the school in the way we present to the wider community.
The school has a responsibility to encourage the safe use of head wear and the hat policy (adopted in 2017) will be in place during the months that contain an “r” (ie. February). Students are not required to wear a hat during the months that don’t contain an “r’’.
Dress Code Policy
Vasse Primary School community actively encourages the wearing of school uniforms and strongly recommends that all items are clearly labelled and identifiable.
The wearing of Uniforms:
- Promote identity with the school;
- Promote pride in the school;
- Encourage a sense of unification and belonging
- Eliminate competition in dress issues;
- Allow for ready identification of school members on excursions and thereby promote student safety.
