Why is it Important to Wear a School Uniform?
At Orara High School, we believe that wearing the school uniform helps students feel proud to be part of our school community. It also creates a sense of belonging and helps students focus on their learning.
We understand that buying a school uniform can be expensive. To support our families, we offer two options: a clothing pool with pre-loved uniform items and financial assistance for purchasing new uniforms. If you need help, please contact the school for an assistance form. We're here to work together to support your child.
Why Enclosed Leather Shoes Are Required
Enclosed leather shoes are necessary for safety reasons. In practical subjects like science, woodwork, and metalwork, students work with equipment and materials that could cause injury if dropped. Wearing leather shoes helps prevent accidents and ensures students meet safety requirements.
Why We Have a School Uniform
Research shows that wearing a school uniform has many benefits, including:
- Improving safety by making students easily recognisable.
- Helping students focus on learning instead of what they are wearing.
- Reducing peer pressure by creating a level playing field.
- Building school pride and a sense of community.
- Improving attendance and behaviour.
- Making it easier for students to get ready in the morning, which can help with punctuality.
- Saving families money in the long run.
We appreciate your support in helping all our students wear the school uniform with pride. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to us.
