Footwear
Hats
Isabella SS follows a NO Hat, No Shoes = No Play policy. This policy is operative throughout the year. Students must wear 'bucket' or broad brim hats.
Please ensure you name your child's school hat with either fabric marker pen or similar. Lost hats are a regular issue at school and having a name on a hat makes the job of finding owners much easier.
Jewellery
In the interests of their own safety, students are to limit the wearing of jewellery. Students may wear a watch, simple sleepers or stud earrings (pictured above) and a signet ring. Students must seek Principal approval prior to wearing jewellery that has a Cultural significance. All other jewellery is considered a potential safety risk at school and may limit a student's ability to participate in the diverse learning activities including sporting activities at school. Please refer to the Student Code of Conduct for advice around smart watches.
Hair
We recommend that long hair be 'tied back' as a preventative measure in avoiding / containing the spread of head lice and to prevent accidents occurring e.g. during physical education.
Winter Wear
Recommend navy blue jackets or plain coloured jumpers (excludes hoodies) with no offensive wording or themes, tights or pants may be worn underneath shorts/skorts. Alternatively, plain coloured track pants may be worn.
Free Dress Days
On free dress days, students are allowed to wear non-uniform clothing. However, proper shoes (not sandals/thongs) must be worn. All other clothing must be sun safe and appropriate for school activities. Clothing must not display inappropriate images or slogans.
