General Information
Wentworth Primary School expects students to take pride in their uniform and to wear it correctly at all times. When students are in school uniform, school rules apply whether you are on the school grounds or not. Correct official uniform is required for:
- attendance at school
- travelling to and from school
- attendance at school functions away from school (sports tours, cultural and social)
Incorrect uniform, or a mixture of school uniform, sports gear and personal non uniform clothing, is not acceptable in the street. Students not in the correct uniform are required to have a note from home explaining the reason for the discrepancy. Jackets and raincoats must not be worn inside the classrooms. T-shirts, singlets and other underwear worn for extra warmth must not be visible.
