UNIFORM FOR WESTPORT CAMPUS

PRINCIPLES

Westport Campus Uniform Policy is a broad statement of the campus procedures regarding uniform and their relationship to legal requirements.

Decisions about our campus uniform should be consistent with Workplace Health and Safety, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation. Aspects of the uniform related to safety, eg. safe footwear (closed in black leather or vinyl) lace up or buckle, eye protection and hats, will be enforced as appropriate.

The policy must be developed through consultation with students, teachers and parents.

The campus uniform policy and campus uniform requirements should be reviewed at least every five years and amended where necessary. Groups within the campus community may also seek a review when circumstances change significantly or issues arise.

LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENTS

Under the NSW Workplace Health and Safety Act 2000 (WH&S Act) the Department of Education and Communities must ensure that students are not exposed to risks to their health or safety while they are on departmental premises.

Under the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act of 1977 it is unlawful for an education authority to discriminate on grounds such as race, religion, sex, sexuality or disability.

UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS

These are listed on the following pages and are provided to families new to the campus at the time of enrolment.

Copies are available from the front office.

Shoes, which are flat, plain black leather (or vinyl) and either lace up or buckled. For safety purposes they should cover the top of the foot.

Twice a year major draws are held for uniform merits. These draws have special prizes to be won.

Despite these strategies and the procedures listed above some students may continue to dress inappropriately. In such circumstances, the following consequences may occur:

Important events that contribute significantly to the culture and ethos of the campus. These include but are not restricted to: the Year 10 and 12 Graduation Ceremonies and Special Assemblies.

requirements and may be considered damaging to the campus in the larger community context;
