Student Uniform

   /   
All students must wear the full and correct uniform at school, to and from the school and on all school visits. Application for short-term exemptions, for example, while black shoes are being repaired, should be made in writing to the Deans Office.

· The new uniform is compulsory for all Year 9 students. Year 10-13 students will only need to purchase the new uniform as and when they out-grow the uniform they currently have.

· Belts worn must be plain blue or black with non-descript, standard buckles.

· If a jacket is worn to school it must be a regulation school jacket

· The school operates a ‘Shoe Bank’ where students with incorrect shoes report to the Dean’s Office in the morning and are allocated correct footwear for the day. If a student is wearing incorrect footwear at any point during the day he will be immediately sent to the Dean’s Office.

· Cycle helmets are a compulsory uniform item for all cyclists.

· In cases of financial hardship, please contact Rob Wilson-Pyne, Deputy Principal on 375 7057 ext 281 or email rnw@shirley.school.nz
