Student Dress Code
The official school colours are blue and white. The staff and P & C Association of Hamilton State School strongly support the wearing of school uniforms by students. Parents are asked to support this. Students neatly attired in school uniform are a source of pride for themselves, the school, their families and the community.
We aim to ensure our uniform 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
- Reflecting local community standards
- Consistence with occupational health and safety and anti-discrimination legislation
Uniform guidelines incorporate SunSmart requirements and Workplace Health and Safety requirements. Inappropriate dress for Hamilton SS students is:
- Offensive
- Untidy, unclean or dishevelled
- Non-school colours
- 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
Therefore, the following items are considered unacceptable:
- Open sandals and thongs
- Coloured (other than blue) jumpers, tights or hair accessories
- Shoes that are not completely black
- Socks that are not short and white
- Hoop style, dangly or coloured earrings (only small silver or gold sleepers or studs are acceptable)
- Necklaces, bracelets (unless for medical or religious reasons)
- Hoodies
Hair styles need to be neat and appropriate for a school environment. This includes the style and colour. The principal has final decision on what constitutes an appropriate style and colour. Hair that reaches the shirt collar (male or female) must be tied back neatly with blue hair tie/s, and any hair hanging over the face must be clipped back.
