Uniforms

At Deception Bay State School, we take pride in who we are and our family and ancestors who came before us. A school uniform and how we wear it is one way we present and show the respect we have for our school, our family, our community and ourselves.

Education Queensland state that “a dress code provides guidance to the school community on the agreed uniform and standards for student personal presentation. The purpose of a dress code is to promote a sense of identity and pride; help strengthen school community cohesion; enhance student safety, health and wellbeing; and prepare students for the expectations of some workplaces."

The following document seeks to “clearly explain and document standards of acceptable dress in relation to clothing worn by students, including headwear, footwear, and other aspects of personal presentation. Dress codes must incorporate strategies to accommodate the individual needs and circumstances of students and strategies for managing non-complying students."
