Uniforms

Our School's Student Dress Code consists of an agreed standard of dress that Prenzlau State School students wear when:

• attending or representing their school either at school or at out of school functions/events 
• travelling to and from school 
• engaging in school activities out of school hours.

Student dress codes provide clothing that aims to contribute 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 minimizing visible evidence of economic or social differences
• promotes an effective learning environment by eliminating the distraction of competition in dress and fashion

Student dress codes reflect school community standards and are consistent with occupational health and safety, anti-discrimination legislation and the Sun Safety Strategy.

Student dress codes offer gender neutral uniform options for all students.

Student dress codes clearly explain and document standards of acceptable or reasonable dress in relation to:

• clothing worn by students, including headwear and footwear
• other aspects of personal presentation of students eg. haircuts, make-up and jewellery

*Acceptable or reasonable dress refers to clothing or apparel that would be socially acceptable. 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
• likely to result in a risk to health and safety of student or others.
• failing to uphold to respectable image of the school and community
