Uniform Orders
We take pride in our school and show this by wearing our uniform correctly. Respect is shown when uniforms are worn to high standards. The end of the school year is almost upon us and it is now time to begin thinking about being prepared for the new school year with the correct uniform items. Thank you for your continued support in bringing positive thinking and beliefs about our school through the wearing of the correct uniform, not only while at school but also while displaying the values of our school as you wear uniforms in the community, before/after school and at community events where uniform is worn.
Please ensure that your child has the correct uniform for each school day, and the correct uniform for each season. Details are found below in the policy excerpt. Please also ensure your child has a hat for school, to wear all year round. Any uniform deviations are to be for a short period of time only and must be reported to your child’s Homeroom or Class teacher while the correct uniform is arranged promptly.
Uniforms can be ordered online, which can be accessed via the school website under Menu items - ‘Parent Hub’. Here you will find information for the MCS Uniform Policy and the Uniform Shop towards the top of the page. Use these links provided for easy access.
Please see the MCS Uniform Policy for full details. An excerpt in relation is found below:
Policy statement
All students at Medowie Christian School will wear their uniform correctly with pride every day.
Procedures
The school expects that school hats are worn at breaks and outside classes for active play throughout the year.
Summer uniform is to be worn only during Terms 1 and 4. Winter uniform is to be worn during Terms 2 and 3 or for special events as requested by the school. (Any alterations to the this will come from the School Executive)
A note from a parent/carer is always required if a student is not in correct uniform (to cover a short period only). The explanation must also be of a reasonable nature. Ongoing breaches of the school’s uniform policy will result in disciplinary action and follow up with families.
Uniform Shop - all parts of the school uniform can only be purchased from the school’s uniform shop (other than shoes).
Student Medication
Please ensure all medication is collected for your child on their last day of school this year. Please note medication will not be sent home with your child, it is to be collected from the office by a parent or carer with permission to do so.
If your child requires medication to be given at school in 2024 we require for it to be dropped off at the office on 25th January and a new medication permission form to be filled out.
