Dress Code

Our School's Governing Council has determined that the wearing of clothing described in the following school policy is a requirement for all students.

It is expected that all children will wear the Glenelg School colours of navy blue and gold. 

The School's dress code aims to give students a sense of pride in their school. The wearing of the school colours is also a safety issue as it is easy to recognise Glenelg School students in the yard, on excursions or when representing the school.

  • Non-compliance the following day will be followed up with a note home and/or telephone conversation with parent by a senior staff member.
  • Subsequent non-compliance will result in the child being dressed with temporarily borrowed clothing from the uniform shop.
  • Parents in financial hardship will need to meet with a senior staff member if they are unable to support the Dress Code Policy to discuss.

Please LABEL ALL ITEMS of clothing.
