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.

  11. Socks / Tights Plain black socks and plain black tights are available from Academy Apparel or your choice of provider. Full-length footless tights are permitted.   Socks may not be worn outside without shoes.

No other jewellery, fashion accessories, or body adornments (e.g. necklaces, chains, visible temporary tattoos, rings, bracelets, bangles, etc) are to be worn to school.  Items of personal cultural significance may be worn, but must not present any danger or distraction to the wearer or any other child. They should not hang loose and must be worn inside clothing.
  13. Non-Regulation Clothing   Except where noted above, students are not permitted to wear non-regulation clothing items along with their compulsory uniform. 
  14. Sports Uniform  Parkland does not have a separate PE uniform. All children are encouraged to bring a change of clothing and suitable footwear for events such as Cross Country training. A Parkland School Sports Uniform is provided for use at  inter-school events.
  15. The Parkland School Logo is the property of the School Board and can not be screen printed or embroidered onto non regulation clothing items purchased from an unauthorised supplier.
  16. All uniform items, including footwear, are to be  named.
  17. Students wearing the Parkland School uniform or a Parkland School Sports Uniform are identifiable as belonging to the Parkland School community. It is therefore appropriate that students in either uniform adhere to the behavioural expectations of the school, regardless of whether they are on school grounds.
