Uniform

School Uniforms

One of the most effective ways of developing school pride and feeling of belonging is to encourage the wearing of school uniform. The school uniform is a practical solution to the school clothing problem which allows active participation in school activities whilst at the same time encouraging positive self-image on visits away from school. Our school community considers the wearing of a uniform to be highly desirable and strongly encourages the uniform to be worn on a daily basis. We believe that the wearing of a uniform encourages inclusiveness, belonging and pride in our school.

Thongs, T-shirts or jumpers with slogans, jewellery, nail polish and colourful hair ribbons/accessories are not part of our uniform and are discouraged. Students with pierced ears should wear appropriate sleepers or studs.

Riverina representative clothing is only to be worn on Fridays. This is to ensure a balance between our traditional school uniform and the special attire that signifies a student’s representation of our school.  

On all other school days, we expect our students to adhere to our standard school uniform. This consistent attire helps foster a sense of belonging and equality among all students, regardless of their roles as representatives. 

We believe that this balanced approach will encourage students to celebrate their achievements and contributions to our school community while still maintaining the professional and respectful atmosphere that our school uniform promotes
