Uniforms


Gold Creek School Uniform

Gold Creek School promotes excellence in all that it does. The school expects students to take pride in their appearance through the wearing of the correct uniform. The uniform identifies children with their school, promotes student allegiance and it also acts as a means towards providing equality amongst children, regardless of socio-economic background. The wearing of a uniform unites the school publicly, as well as being practical. The uniform supports occupational health and safety issues of safe and practical clothing particularly in workshops and practical areas.

The wearing of school uniform is regarded as a core behaviour expectation at Gold Creek School; in the same way as handing in assignments and abiding by playground rules.

Any students or family experiencing financial difficulty may seek assistance in the purchase of uniform from the school’s ‘Equity Fund’.  Contact the front office for more information.

Our School Uniform Policy has been set by the School Board, which has the responsibility under the Education Act, for setting the policy and directions of the school.

The school uniform can be purchased from Lowes School Wear in Gungahlin or Chilada at Mitchell & Gungahlin.

Students will be excluded from certain activities if they are not wearing school uniform.  These include but are not limited to excursions, formal occasions such as school assemblies and access to certain parts of the school grounds. Students who persistently do not wear uniform will be spoken to by their Pastoral Care teacher who counsels the student and the Pastoral Care teacher will contact home to inform parents/carers of uniform infringement.
