Uniforms & dress code
Unless otherwise notified, all students are in uniform from the first day of school to the last. The list below is the whole policy.
Your school uniform signifies that you are a member of the Holy Spirit community and confirms your attendance at the school. The uniform reduces non-academic distractions and minimises the difference in socioeconomic status between peers.
It is important that you take pride in your appearance by wearing your complete uniform and always representing Holy Spirit School with honour, both within the school and out in the community.
