Uniform Policy
Footwear Guidelines for NSW Government Schools
NSW Department of Education School Uniform Policy
The WBHS school community through the WBHS Parents and Citizens’ Association endorses the wearing of the designated school uniform. We believe that the wearing of uniform is important for the following reasons:
- It helps promotes a sense of belonging for students and creates a positive identity for the school community.
- It contributes to the personal safety of students and staff by allowing easier recognition of students inside the school and in the community.
- It demonstrates a student’s willingness to be part of the school community and their acceptance of students’ rights to a safe learning environment.
- It promotes school pride.
- It helps focus students on learning as the priority.
- It is not dependent on peer pressure for transient or inappropriate fashions.
- It enhances students’ reputation and their prospects in a competitive job market.
- It promotes positive community perceptions about public education and being part of a successful team.
- It reflects the community expectations where corporate uniform is the norm and there are strict codes for work, health and safety.
- Individuality can be expressed through achievements and contributions in academic, sporting, cultural and creative aspects of school life.
