When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community.
Our Uniform Shop is run by our Parents and Citizens Association.
Parents/carers, through the P&C, have endorsed the school’s uniform policy and its importance in maintaining the identity and good name of Mackellar. This endorsement acknowledges the positive reasons for high expectations regarding school uniform:
Association with a proud school, its traditions and history of achievement.
Support for student belonging
Utility, comfort and suitability for all learning activities including satisfying safety requirements of specialist learning areas.
Maintenance of a high community standards and associated perception of a caring school community
Reinforcement of an egalitarian approach that values inclusion
Preparation of young people for work circumstances that require dress codes and high standards
Acknowledgement that comfort, dignity, practicality and safety are satisfied when working together
Uniform Ordering The preferred option for purchasing uniforms is to order online as per this link:
If there are exceptional circumstances that do not allow a student to wear full school uniform, parents should send an explanatory email to the school before the start of the school day. The email should indicate the reason for variation and when the student is expected to be back in uniform.
The student must report to the Deputy Principal's office on arrival where they will be issued with a Uniform Pass and, where possible, with a short-term loan of replacement uniform. We thank parents/carers for supporting the high standards.
