Student Uniform Policy

Student Uniform Policy

Marmion Primary School has a celebrated history and culture of high standards, academic excellence, and community partnership. Our school uniform reflects these standards, provides a sense of identity and belonging for our students and projects a positive image of our school in the local community.

Marmion Primary School asks caregivers to support students to make good decisions about how they present themselves at school or when representing their school, ensuring they are dressed appropriately and in line with the Uniform Policy. This supports the staff and allows students to focus on the important task of learning.
