Wearing the uniform with pride

We are proud of our uniform and wearing it correctly with pride demonstrates respect for our CBHS Values. All students must wear full and correct uniforms at school, to and from school, and when representing the school.

We are noticing a number of students attending school wearing incorrect footwear.

School shoes are to be plain, black leather. Sports shoes are only to be worn during physical education and sports activities. Examples of the correct footwear options are displayed below.

Footwear is to be plain, black, full leather, with no brand imaging visible (i.e. the Nike tick).

Along with the regulation, plain black, closed-toe, leather shoes that students are required to wear, we also allow black or brown sandals to be worn with the lavalava. However, it is imperative to note that any students who have Food Technology classes in our Workshop must have a pair of black, closed-toe, leather shoes to put on for these subjects. This is a health and safety requirement and must be always adhered to. See below examples of footwear

If a student temporarily cannot meet the uniform requirements, they must report to Student Services before school and will be required to bring a signed note from their parent/caregiver. This note must be given to our staff in the Student Services Office before school begins. We will endeavour to provide the item; however, if we cannot, a uniform pass will be issued. 

If a student is seen wearing a non-uniform item without a pass, it will be confiscated, and the student will be able to collect the item from Student Services at the end of the day. If the item is confiscated for a second time, an 8.15 will be given.  Continual wearing and the Dean will be involved. The items we are having the most issues with are hoodies and non-regulation jackets.

We appreciate that the weather is becoming significantly colder and to ensure our students stay toasty warm, students can wear:

• Jersey Juniors

  • sweatshirts and hoodies are not part of our uniform and should not be worn with the uniform coming and going from school.

• Blazer Seniors

• School uniform jacket with school crest

• School scarf

• School beanie when travelling to and from school

Some students choose to wear layers under their school uniform for extra warmth, remembering that garments worn under the school uniform must not be visible. Cotton t-shirts are not warm, instead students need to be wearing thermals/poly-props.
