The School uniform identifies members of our School. It assists in creating an atmosphere of unity, pride, loyalty and equity. All students enter class as equals as far as image and dress are concerned; their individuality comes from their attitude, character, spirit and involvement. School uniform creates a sense of identity for students at Gippsland Grammar, promoting mutual respect and a sense of belonging. Students should wear it proudly and well, realising that at all times they are ambassadors for Gippsland Grammar.
With this statement in mind, we are conducting a review of our School uniform. The purpose of our review is to determine whether our uniform is still meeting this purpose. Are there adjustments we could make to our School uniform to ensure that it is comfortable; reflects our School history and values and that provides equality for our students?
We are not proposing major change to our current uniform in style or colour. We understand that major change has cost implications for families. We are exploring the possibility of creating optional additions to the uniform.
While we understand that the suggestion of change can be cause for concern, we feel that it is important to explore these options. We also understand that concern can be eased through communication and information.
