Willow Grove Primary School, School Council is committed to the wearing of school uniform by all students. We believe that a uniform dress code encourages students to take pride in their own appearance, instils a recognition of themselves as an integral part of the school community and assists in developing pride in representing Willow Grove Primary School.

Issues of equality, health and safety and expense are also factors that contribute to the establishment of the uniform policy.

The Student Dress Code aims to:

• foster a sense of community and belonging and encourages students to develop pride in their appearance
• support Willow Grove Primary School’s commitment to ensuring that our students feel equal and are dressed safely and appropriately for school activities.
• reduce student competition on the basis of clothing
• enhance the profile and identity of the school and its students within the wider community. 

The School Council has developed a dress code that we believe provides a range of choices for students and is cost effective for families.
