Uniform

School uniform is an important part of school connectedness and belonging aiming to:

• Foster a sense of community and belonging and encourage students to develop pride in their appearance  
• Support River Gum Primary School’s commitment to ensuring that our students feel equal and are dressed safely and appropriately for school activities  
• Reduce student competition on the basis of clothing  
• Enhance the profile and identity of the school and its students within the wider community. 

It is an expectation that students attend school in full uniform every day at school.

While at school, travelling to or from school, or participating in school activities, students must comply with the following:

• Uniforms must be clean and in good repair
• Uniforms should be clearly marked with the owner’s name
• Additional layers of clothing may be worn underneath the uniform for added warmth, provided these undergarments are completely hidden.
