School Uniform:

As we approach the end of Term One, some students will be growing out of their current school shoes and/or joggers. The Good Samaritan School Uniform Policy is now published within this school newsletter. School shoes must be black leather shoes and joggers must be predominately white. Some students are still wearing brightly coloured joggers. These do not form a part of the uniform and students will be reminded of the correct footwear throughout the school day. Next term teachers will begin to send home Uniform Reminder notices when necessary.

Parent Action: The Good Samaritan uniform policy clearly states the correct uniform including footwear. Parents are asked to support this policy particularly with the purchase of new shoes for school.

Below  is an outline of the Good Samaritan uniform & personal grooming expectations that support the school’s Uniform Policy.

All students are expected to consistently wear the Good Samaritan school uniform with pride throughout the school year. This includes wearing the correct hat, socks and shoes. This helps to keep them focused on their learning whilst also keeping a consistent atmosphere across the school.

Please note the following uniform expectations from Kindergarten to Year 6.

Summer Uniform

Sports Uniform

Shoes are black leather lace ups or velcro with little or no heel as shown.

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 ‘gym boot’,  leather surf/skate type shoes, indoor soccer boots or coloured joggers are to be worn. Pictorial examples of appropriate joggers are shown here.
