In 2009, the school phased in a new school uniform, commencing with students in Years 8 and 11.
The Rossmoyne Senior High School’s uniform policy was developed by the School Council in accordance with Department of Education and Training policy and guidelines on dress standards for students in public schools. The wearing of school uniform is supported strongly by the Rossmoyne community and is a symbol of pride in the school. There is an expectation that students will comply with the dress requirements and that valuable school time will not need to be diverted to following up on breaches of school uniform policy.
The new uniform can be purchased or pre-ordered from the P&C Uniform Shop which is located in the school grounds.
The regular opening times in Term 1 are:
- Tuesdays 8.00 am to 11.30 am
- Thursdays 1.00 pm to 4.00 pm
- Fridays 8.00 am to 11.30 am

DRESS POLICY
Under section 128 c of the Education Act the School Council determines, in consultation with the school community, a dress code for students. School uniform is a very important part of the Rossmoyne SHS ethos and tradition. All parents are asked to reinforce the importance of our School Dress Code.
If students are not in correct uniform and do not possess a Dress Pass, staff refer them to the relevant Deputy Principal. Students in breach of the Dress Code and without a Dress Pass face detention and loss of good standing status.
School uniform is to be worn to and from school and students must change for Physical Education/Dance lessons. Physical Education/Dance attire is not to be worn during other classes.
Lower School
- White cotton school shirt - full button (not soft collar ‘polo’ type) with logo.
- In colder weather a plain white T-shirt or roll-neck top can be worn under the shirt for extra warmth. This must not hang down past the arms of the school shirt.
- Scarves must be in the ‘school blue’.
Upper School
- Blue cotton school shirt - full button (not soft collar ‘polo’ type) with logo.
- In colder weather, a plain white or pale blue T-shirt or roll-neck top can be worn under the shirt for extra warmth. This must not hang down past the arms of the school shirt.
- Scarves must be in the ‘school blue’.
Students then have a choice of:
- Blue, good quality tailored full length plain trousers - NOT denim, corduroy or tencel.
- Navy blue tailored shorts (not full elastic waist, draw string, cargo, corduroy or board type)
- Royal blue jumper.
- Tartan skirt with two front pleats.
- Suitable enclosed low heeled shoes, sturdy sports or flats. All footwear must be black or a neutral colour which tones with the uniform. Brightly coloured shoes must not be worn at school. No slip-ons are to be worn as they can be dangerous.
- Black stockings under skirt or trousers or socks to tone with the uniform.
New uniform is to be worn by Year 8 and 11 students in 2009 as the first cohorts to phase in. All other year groups have the option of the past uniform requirements or to purchase the new uniform.
Students who are unable to meet the School’s Dress Code on any particular day must bring a note from a parent explaining the reasons for non-compliance. This is to be handed in before the start of school. The Deputy Principal will determine whether or not a dress code exemption pass will be issued. Students may be required to borrow clothing from the school. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that borrowed clothing is washed and returned. Breaches of the Dress Code Policy may result in a student losing their Good Standing status.
Students and staff are encouraged to wear hats/caps but these must be removed while in school buildings. Headwear must not contain promotional material. Beanies must be in the school blue.
Must be minimal, unobtrusive and safe. If, in the opinion of the school administration, students do not adhere to these guidelines, they will be required to make the necessary changes to conform to this policy. Earrings should be kept to sleepers or studs. Make-up, jewellery and body adornments are not encouraged for school use and should be kept for weekend-wear.
Students will be issued with a Health and Safety policy in the Design & Technology, Home Economics and Science departments. This may include appropriate closed footwear, protective clothing, safety goggles etc.
These uniforms are not to be worn in school time unless it has been endorsed by the School Council.
Unless otherwise stated, students will be expected to wear full school uniform on excursions.
