ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

LPPS UNIFORM POLICY

At our most recent school council meeting, the uniform policy was tabled and ratified. Our School Uniform Review Working Party and the Education

Sub Committee spent considerable time seeking input from all levels of our school community when working on this policy. Below are some

important elements from this policy:

1. A new school polo shirt will replace the existing one. The new school polo design will be added as a replacement to the existing School polo

to the Official Uniform List. The new school polo top will be available to purchase from November 2019 (exact dates will be announced later

in the year). Please note: The new polo shirt will be phased in over a 2 year period.

2. An optional Year 3-6 Sports Polo be added to the uniform list. Students from these year levels will be able to wear this top to PE lessons and

to school sports events.

3. A generic (non-branded) Navy Skort be added to the uniform list as a summer item.

4. A distinct polo shirt for the Year 6 cohort will be added to the uniform list. The final design will be decided on by a selected school student

group and will be available to purchase for the beginning of the 2020 school year.

5. A cotton elastane version of the existing pants options will be added to the school uniform list as an additional generic non-branded item.

6. A generic navy long sleeve top will be added to the uniform policy as an option to be worn under the winter pinafore only. This item will not

be a stand-alone uniform item (as there will no longer be a long sleeve polo option).

7. The school uniform policy states that the acceptable colours for school shoes are black, grey, navy and white with a minimal amount of trim

allowed (by Term 2, 2020).

Timeline for Implementation of Langwarrin Park Primary School Uniform Policy.

Our new uniform policy be implemented and enforced from the start of Term Three 2019.

One exception from this policy will be the enforcement of school shoes. The school shoe portion of the policy be enforceable from Term Two 2020

for economic reasons and to allow parents time to transition.

We thank all those parents who gave considerable time to be a member of the uniform working party. Thanks must also go to the members of our

education committee who spent considerable time reviewing the uniform policy. Finally we thank all those parents who responded to the uniform

survey last term. This provided the working party and education committee with valuable insights regarding different aspects of our uniform policy

and supported the writing of our updated one.

A full copy of our updated Uniform Policy can be found at the end of this newsletter and a hard copy will be sent home for your reference.
