The wearing of the school uniform is strongly recommended and encouraged at St Helens. The uniforms are hard wearing and practical in design and engender a sense of identity and school spirit. To help others, donations of uniforms that are no longer needed can be made to the school or second-hand uniforms can be advertised for sale in the Newsletter. Students not wearing school uniform are asked to go to the library during lunch breaks where they can play games and read. We understand circumstances sometimes occur when students must be out of uniform, and parents may provide a note excusing students. However, if there is no note students must go to the library.
Shirt/Blouse: A redwood & navy shirt with St Helens in print is available from the school. This is suitable for general day and sports use. Jumpers/Jackets are to be navy blue.
Shorts/Skirts/Skorts: These should be navy blue in colour. Shorts are acceptable for both boys and girls with the tailored style preferred for girls.
Skirts: This may be either pleated or wrap around style.
Parents are asked to ensure that the clothing children wear to school offers protection from the sun, is suitable for the activities a school child may perform and is appropriate to a place of learning. No street clothes or caps allowed. Wide brim hats must be worn. Bucket hats with the school name embroidered on front will be available from the school. Enclosed footwear must be worn. Jewelry is to be kept to a minimum - no necklaces and only one pair of earrings - studs or sleepers. Wrist watches are allowed. No raised dress rings are to be worn.
Winter Uniform: The winter uniform is a navy blue tracksuit. Parents may access these tracksuits from a number of local stores, including the school, at very reasonable prices. Variations to navy blue are acceptable, however, it is encouraged that students do not wear jeans.
