Student Dress Code
Peachester State School is a ‘Uniform School’ where students are expected to wear the school uniform. Students are to wear the Peachester State School shirt and black shorts, cullottes, skorts or a skirt. During the winter months, students are permitted to wear the Uniform jacket or jumper (available at the Uniform Shop), or plain black tracksuit pants and plain black jacket.
They are also required to wear predominately black enclosed sports shoes (not ‘slip on’ shoes) and black (logo free) socks.
The school branded wide brimmed or bucket hat is to be worn for all outdoor activities to ensure sun safety. Peachester State School is a Sun Safety accredited school and follows the Sun-Safe guidelines of the Queensland Cancer Society.
Students must not wear jewellery to school unless it is a necklace of religious significance that bears a significant religious symbol, earrings that are small plain studs or sleepers, a watch, a flat signet ring or medical alert bracelet. Nail polish, make up, brightly coloured hair dyes and facial piercing are not acceptable.
All students with long hair (hair that reaches the shoulders), female and male, should have their hair tied back at all times. Wearing the school uniform enhances the school tone and instils in the students a feeling of pride and a sense of belonging. The correct school uniform can be purchased from the school uniform shop, located next to Admin.
The Peachester State School Student Dress Code has been endorsed by the school’s Parents & Citizens Association.
