Uniform Policy

By having all students in uniform provides equity in terms that all students wear the same which costs the same. Wearing school uniform promotes pride and dignity in oneself and earns community respect for the individual student and the school as a whole. A Student Representative body chose this uniform – and after a lot of consultation decided it was what they wanted. Therefore we do expect them to wear it.

Parents are requested to ensure that students wear the Hunter Sports High School uniform and to support the schools safety policy with regard to footwear. Department of Education and Labour and Industry Regulations require specified footwear.

The following items are NOT acceptable items;

• Coloured T-shirts worn under the school shirt or polo. If a shirt is worn under the school shirt or polo it must be white.
• Multicoloured sloppy joes
• Representative track pants or tops
• Tights under the school shorts.
• Extremely short shorts.
• Coloured caps or hats. (All hats are not to be worn indoors)

Jewellery must be kept to a minimum, large coloured or metal earrings are not part of the uniform.

SHOES

The school expects that students wear safe black leather lace-up styled shoes or a style which covers the top of the foot. Suede skate shoes are acceptable as long as they have a substantial leather tongue. Shoes with mesh or fabric tongue are not acceptable.

NOT ACCEPTABLE SHOES -students must not wear black or coloured flat ”ballet” style shoes, black fabric or canvas slip on shoes.

TSP UNIFORM

When leaving the school grounds to represent Hunter Sports High School as part of a TSP Excursion students must wear their TSP white “Dress” shirt. The boys must wear their white “Dress” shirt, black dress pants and their black school shoes. Girls must wear their white “Dress” shirt with their school skirt,or trousers and their black school shoes.

Each Targeted Sport has its own set uniforms for training and playing which students must wear at these times only. After training or playing students must change back into their school uniform, including black school shoes.
