St. Michael’s Uniforms

The Uniform

St. Michael’s believes that our uniform is an important aspect of our School’s identity as well as being, an integral part of our tradition and history. We believe that the uniform encourages a sense of unity and respect and we hope all students will wear their uniform with grace and a sense of pride.

Policy

Upon enrolment to St Michael’s parents agree to support all School uniform policy and procedures. 

LABELLING
It is parent’s responsibility to label all articles of uniforms with child’s name.  The School will not be responsible for any lost items.  At the end of each term, unnamed and unclaimed lost uniform items may be disposed of.

HAIR
If girls have shoulder length or longer hair or a long fringe, it is to be tied back with black, blue or white hair accessories.

JEWELLERY AND MAKE-UP
Children’s jewellery (rings and bracelets) and make-up (including nail varnish) should not be worn in School.  Stud earrings may be worn by girls only in the earlobes.  A watch may be worn once a child is able to use it properly. 

SCHOOL BAG
Currently children are allowed to bring their own bag.  A bag with School logo will be available soon, and will become compulsory from August 2011.

LIBRARY BAG
Library bags must be purchased by all students.  Newly designed library bags will be available from August 2010.  Old style Library Bags can be used until August 2011.  New Library Bags will become compulsory from August 2011.

HAT
Currently children are allowed to wear their own sunhat.  A uniform sunhat with School logo will be available soon, and will become compulsory from August 2011.

Sun Smart Policy
While having fun in the sun never hurt anyone, St Michael’s recognises the need for students to be aware of, and to learn the importance of, protecting their skin from the sun’s ultraviolet rays.   Childhood exposure to harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun is a major contributory factor in the later development of skin cancer.
With this in mind the School will highly encourage students to wear a sunhat during the summer months for all outdoor activities, and ask that parents provide a water bottle for their child to keep them healthy and hydrated.  We also highly encourage parents to use a SPF 15+ broad spectrum water-resistant sunscreen on child in the mornings before they leave for School.

Cold Weather Policy

In cold weather non-uniform items such as scarves and jackets may be worn to and from School.  They may also be worn during breaks in the playground.  A white turtle necks (or long sleeve T-shirt) may be worn only under the long sleeve blouse or shirt
