Uniform

The school has a Uniform Committee which reviews details of the uniform and reports to the Governing Council. The Committee is made up of representatives of staff, students and parents. The wearing of the school uniform is one of the strong traditions of Adelaide High School. The school recognises the diversity of its community and respects the cultural and religious beliefs of its members. At times, therefore, special allowances are made to support the beliefs of students and families with regard to the uniform. In cases where the uniform code does not cater for individual requirements, parents/carers are requested to discuss this with the House Assistant Principal. The House Assistant Principal will make a decision regarding any exceptions. The school uniform should be worn with pride and in an appropriate manner.
