Organising School Uniforms for 2022:
As we begin planning for the new school year, we will return to the usual expectations for the wearing of the correct school uniform.
The wearing of the school uniform is an outward sign of the respect that a student has for themselves and the Good Samaritan Catholic Primary School community. The Good Samaritan uniform serves as an outward sign of what the school stands for, and the correct wearing of uniform is an indication of students’ pride in being members of the school community. At Good Samaritan, we believe that the wearing of a school uniform reduces the social inequities that may be evident in a community that does not enforce a standard uniform. This assists in respecting the dignity of each individual by reducing social class barriers.
Joggers that are predominantly white are to be worn for sport and fitness. They must be predominantly white and may be lace up or velcro. No slip on ‘Raben’ type shoes, indoor soccer boots or coloured joggers are to be worn. Pictorial examples of appropriate joggers are shown here. Students currently wearing coloured or incorrect joggers will receive a reminder for the new year.
Please remember that our school uniform supplier has now changed to Poppets Direct Schoolwear. With this change in supplier there may be delays in being able to purchase required sizes of some items. This is due to the long lead times for fabric and also the management of existing stock. Fabric supplies into the country have slowed due to the pandemic.
Kindergarten 2022 students will receive a T-shirt in their Kindergarten pack which they may wear as their sports shirt if sizes are unavailable. We will be organising Year 6 polo shirts for wear early in 2022.
Students are required to wear their hair in a neat and tidy manner. Hair should be well brushed and combed and it is assumed that hair will not be in such a condition as to invite comment.
BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING:
- Extreme styles, bleaching, colouring or dyeing of hair are not permitted.
- Gel, mousse and hair spray or other substances should not be used.
- There will be no undercuts, steps or shaved lines within the hair.
- Hair should not extend to cover the eyes.
- Students who do not abide by the haircut requirements will be asked to fix the identified problem.
- Long hair is to be tied back or plaited.
- Ribbons and bands of school colour are to be worn.
