At Newman School, we believe that:

• Children need to learn to express themselves responsibly.
• Children are not all the same, so they should not be forced to look the same.
• Families would rather spend their money on clothes that their children can wear inside and outside school.
• Our strong community and positive culture will not tolerate any kind of bullying or teasing.

As such, we do not have a school uniform. Instead, we have a dress code.

The Dress Code

Our dress code asks students and staff to:

• Dress appropriately and modestly.
• Dress should not be offensive, dirty, revealing or excessively ripped, portray gang membership, drugs/drug paraphernalia or sexualise the child.
• We should all be clean and hygienic and be mindful of overpowering perfumed products and the negative effect this has on others.

Students having difficulty with finding appropriate clothing for any reason should speak with their
Form/Class Teacher.
