Our Uniform

Picture

Parkland School has a compulsory school uniform. These children are modelling the range of uniform items that can be worn. We do not have a specific summer or winter uniform but parents can choose what their children wear to suit the weather conditions each day. Please note that the policy has been updated in 2020 and new enrolments are now required to purchase cargo shorts or cargo longs with the school logo sewn on the leg.

It is advisable that all uniform items are named. (This includes all footwear)

Students wearing the Parkland School uniform or a ‘Parkland School Sports Uniform’ are identifiable as belonging to the Parkland School community.
