School Dress Code
Glenore Grove State School is a uniform school. We have the support of our P&C to promote 100% adherence to the uniform. Our student dress code consists of an agreed standard and items of clothing, which includes a school uniform that GGSS students wear when they are:
• Attending school
• Representing the school
• Travelling to and from school
• Engaged in school activities that may occur outside of school hours.
A neat, complete school uniform shows pride in oneself and the school. It projects a positive image to the community and employers. We believe that a student dress code provides clothing that contributes to a safe and supportive teaching and learning environment through:
• Ready identification of students and non-students at school
• Fostering a sense of belonging
• Developing mutual respect among students by minimising visible evidence of economic or social differences
• Promotes an effective teaching and learning environment by eliminating the distraction of competition in dress and fashion at the school
The Student Dress Code reflects school community standards and is consistent with occupational health and safety and anti-discrimination legislation. As a school community, we actively encourage our students to take pride in themselves and their school. One way in which this may be achieved is through adherence to the school’s dress standards. As the parent/carer and provider of your child, we seek your support in this matter.
Inappropriate dress refers to clothing or apparel worn by students that is deemed to be:
- Offensive;
- Likely to disrupt, or negatively influence normal school operations;
- Unsafe for student or others; and
- Likely to result in a risk to health and safety of student or others.
In circumstances where inappropriate or unreasonable dress is worn, appropriate action will be taken as deemed necessary.
Uniforms can be purchased from the Uniform Shop located under the Library at the set open hours Eftpos facilities are available. The uniform shop is run by our P&C and the convenor is a parent volunteer. Ordering is available through the QRK! App and these will be delivered the next day of business.
We are a sun safe school hats must be broad brimmed; caps are not acceptable under any circumstance. For swimming lessons students, must wear a swim shirt. When the school has free dress days, students are to wear sun safe clothing.
We request that all uniforms and other school belongings be clearly labelled so they can be returned to the rightful owner. We do have a lost property in the office.
Monday & Wednesday mornings 8:15am to 8:45am and afternoons from 2:30pm to 3:00pm.
