Uniform

Uniform

Expected Standard of Dress

At Tomaree High School the expectation is that students wear school uniform during school hours, while travelling to and from school, and when engaged in school activities out of school hours.

Wearing school uniform:

• promotes a sense of belonging for students.
• creates a positive identity for the school community.
• contributes to the personal safety of students by allowing easier recognition of students inside the school and in the community.
• is endorsed by our student and parent representative bodies and the NSW Department of Education. 

If your child is unable to wear school uniform to school:

• students are required to bring a signed note from a parent/carer explaining the issue and requesting consideration for a nominated period. 
• every effort will be made to provide a replacement uniform. 
  

Tomaree High School uniform can be purchased from LOWES at Salamander Bay Square.

THS Uniform items

Tomaree High School in consultation with the P&C and student body, reviewed the school uniform for 2023. As a result, grey shorts have been phased out of the uniform at Tomaree High School. 

Navy blue shorts and pants have replaced grey shorts and pants. 

As part of the uniform review, THS uniform items have landed and are available to purchase from the school office.  

Sport Uniform

Footwear

For their own safety, students are required by the NSW Education Department to wear leather shoes that are fully enclosed and have a good grip that meet the requirements of curriculum areas. Footwear guidelines for NSW Government Schools Health and Safety Directorate

Sun safe

We encourage students to be sun safe by wearing hats, sunglasses and sunscreen at appropriate times.

What is acceptable?

• T-shirts worn under school shirts must be tucked in and be white without a pattern, logo or motif. 
• Students can mix n’ match the items of school clothing worn. This means sport uniform can be worn on days when you do not have sport, providing they are clean and dry when you need it for your lesson.
• Any jewellery worn should be discreet, appropriate for school and not represent a safety hazard. Items such as large earrings, studded belts and long wallet chains are not acceptable. 
• School representation tops/jackets/jumpers in our school colours can be worn as uniform. This is limited to CHS or Hunter Representation as authorised Department of Education events.

What is not acceptable? 

• Showing your bare midriff.
• Underwear showing above your shorts. 
• Unsafe shoes.
• Excessive make-up.
• Non-uniform colours or items of clothing. 
• Short skirts or shorts – they need to be mid-thigh length and appropriate for the school environment.
