Uniform

The Wollongbar school community supports the wearing of school uniforms, and all parents and carers are asked to help develop school pride and unity by ensuring that their child wears the appropriate uniform. Wearing the school uniform is also an indication that the student and the student’s family support the policies and practices of the NSW Department of Education and Wollongbar Public School.

As a government funded public school, we are required to comply with NSW government and NSW Department of Education policies. The Department requires us to set local uniform requirements, which we have done in partnership with the P&C. The Department sees the wearing of school uniform as promoting a sense of belonging for students and creating a positive identity for the school community. We see it as developing school pride and unity. Uniforms also contribute to personal safety by allowing easier recognition of students inside the school and in the community.

The Department of Education requires that:

• Schools expect their students to wear the uniform during school hours, while travelling to and from school, and when engaged in school activities out of school hours.
• Parents and carers provide their child/children with a school uniform that meets the schools’ uniform requirements.
