Since returning to face to face learning the students have been wearing the uniform that best fits and shoes that may not necessarily be what is within our uniform policy. However, as you prepare for the new school year it will be important to be considering our regular uniform policy guidelines when purchasing shoes for Summer uniforms and joggers for sports days.

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.

The students will be reminded of this at our upcoming school assemblies. They have been encouraged to remind parents  of this when purchasing joggers and school shoes for 2022. Parents are asked to continually support the uniform policy of the school.
