Dress Code
A School Dress Code applies to each student from Kindergarten to Year 6 at Bayswater Primary School. Once enrolled all students are strongly encouraged to wear the recommended school uniform.
A school uniform helps to create a sense of identity among students and assists with building the school community and team spirit. A dress code has many benefits, including:
- Encouraging equity among students.
- Ensuring that students are safely dressed for specific school activities.
- Preparing students for future life skills in the community and workplace.
- Providing a method of easy identification of students and contributing to a safe environment.
- Offering an economical form of school attire.
- Fostering and enhancing the public image of the school.
