Other Requirements For Our Uniform
- Pupils are expected to wear the uniform correctly, cleanly, and tidily.
- All uniform items have labels attached so that they can be named. All items must be well-named to minimise lost items. Please check regularly for any wear on your child’s name.
- Hair should be tidy and well-groomed. We encourage long hair to be tied back. Hair ties can be black, white, yellow, or green. More ornate hair bows may be worn on Whanau Fridays and when our colourful Whanau shirts are worn.
- Jewellery other than medical alert bracelets, watches, stud earrings, and small sleepers is prohibited at school for safety reasons. Taonga, such as greenstone and bone carvings, will be allowed on written request to the Principal. This also includes pendants of religious significance.
- Make-up is not appropriate for school.
- Additional shorts or socks must be purchased when playing on school sports teams. (i.e. soccer, hockey, rugby, mini ball, etc.)
