Uniform

The uniform of Barcaldine Prep-12 State School is an issue of respect and safety. The P&C fully endorse the green and gold school uniform. The following are uniform regulations for our school.

Appropriate Uniform

• Students not wearing the appropriate uniform will be required to provide a note explaining why. A text message will be sent home to parents and any students who consistently wear the incorrect uniform will be required to either:
• Change into a uniform provided by the school office (for the day) or
• Have the correct uniform brought to the school for them to change into.
  Continual refusal to follow the school uniform policy will result in an interview with parents/carers to discuss the situation.

Uniform Description

• Black Ruggers/Poly Cotton shorts, tailored shorts and/or skorts.
• Bottle green/black wide brimmed hat or school logo hat which is available for purchase through P&C.

Student Footwear
