School Uniform

SCHOOL UNIFORM

Dear Parents / Carers,

The wearing of a school uniform has proven to increase a student's core need of "belonging". This can have a significant impact on self-esteem, behaviour, school engagement, relationships and the learning environment. Wearing a school uniform reduces long term costs, reduces peer pressure and distractions, contributes to school spirit, assists in student identification and promotes a safer school environment.

Our school community has overwhelmingly determined that a school uniform is to be worn daily by students. The Harcourt Public School P&C strongly support this request.

Uniform requirements

• Students are to wear the correct uniform to school on a daily basis, and to school events and excursions unless otherwise stated on a permission note.
• If there is a genuine reason for a child to be out of uniform on any particular day, a signed note is to go to the class teacher before school stating the student's name, the date, and the reason for not wearing correct uniform.

Uniform Purchasing

Our summer and winter uniforms are available for sale at Lowes, Campsie.  

School hats are available to purchase from the front office.

Harcourt PS uniform items are listed on the back of this page. Note: Deeds AND words are the words written in the correct crest design.

Hats

Students are expected to wear the Harcourt school hat at all times whilst in school uniform. For reasons of sun safety the school has a ‘no hat play in the shade' policy.

Please note that your child's hat should be a bottle / dark green colour, preferably broad brimmed or legionnaires style to provide appropriate shade for the face, neck and ears. The school hat displaying the Harcourt crest is preferable and can be purchased from the front office.

Please also ensure that your child's name and grade are written inside the hat and are clearly legible so that the hat can be returned to its rightful owner if lost.

Please note if you are experiencing difficulty in providing the correct school uniform for your child, assistance may be available. Please contact the Administration Office for more information.

We express our gratitude to all parents/carers for encouraging and supporting your child's wearing of school uniform every day.
