Somersby Public School

Somersby Public School is a happy, caring, community school providing quality educational experiences that value and challenge individuals to achieve their personal best as lifelong learners.

 
 

School Uniform

In an effort to promote the student’s pride in their school and to create a feeling of high esteem, we urge parents to encourage their children to always be in school uniform when attending school.  This is relevant not only on a day-to-day basis but particularly where school outings or excursions are planned.

Three very good reasons for uniform are:

  • Uniform prevents comparisons between “rich” and “poor”
  • Uniform saves parents money and children stress.  Children don’t constantly want new clothes or the latest fashions to wear to school
  • Uniform contributes to student safety on school outings and whilst children travel to and from school.

Availability
All clothing items with a school emblem (jumpers, gold tab polo shirts, jackets) can be purchased from the school’s Uniform Shop.  Please ask the office staff or Uniform Manager for a price list to purchase new clothing.

School track pants, the ‘A’ line dress, library bags and scrunchies are also available from the school’s Uniform Shop.

  • All other items can be purchased from Lowes.
  • Second-hand items are available for $2 each from our Clothing Pool.

PLEASE NOTE
We ask that you label your child’s school equipment including clothing, lunch boxes, drink bottles, bags and hats.

Sun Smart Policy
All students are expected to wear a broad-brimmed school hat for all outdoor activities.  Students without their hats will be restricted to play in the basement or covered outdoor learning area.
The school understands that hats occasionally need to be washed.  The school therefore permits the children to have one day wearing a non-school hat.  Any time that your child needs longer than a day you must provide a note, addressed to their classroom teacher, explaining the reason.  This is an attempt by the school to maintain the quality of the uniform and provide adequate sun protection for your children.

Hats must:    Shade the face, Protect ears and neck, Cover the head
