The wearing of school uniform is compulsory. Parents indicate their support of the school uniform policy on their child’s enrolment form.
Under section 128C of the Education Act, the School Board determines, in consultation with the school community, a school uniform for students. Shoes are part of our school uniform.
School uniform is a very important part of the Rossmoyne Senior High School ethos and tradition.
Years 7 – 10
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. Scarves and religious headwear must be in one of the school colours (white, black or blue).
Years 11, 12
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. Scarves and religious headwear must be in one of the school colours (white, black or blue).
Students then have a choice of:
- The navy blue Rossmoyne Senior High School full length plain trousers with school embroidered logo.

- Royal blue school jumper.
- Unisex Microfibre school jacket.
- Tartan school (Zina) skirt with two front pleats.
- Suitable enclosed low heeled shoes, sturdy sports or flats. All footwear must be predominantly black or white. No variations are acceptable. No slip-ons are to be worn as they can be dangerous.

Non-compliance with Uniform Policy
Students not wearing the correct uniform will be given the choice of borrowing an item of clothing from the school, requesting that a parent bring in the correct uniform, or seeking parental permission to go home and get changed. Parents will be notified when an item of uniform is borrowed and requested that it be washed and returned. If items are not returned to the school within four weeks of the loan date, parents will be invoiced for the cost of replacing this item.
Exemptions
Students who are unable to meet the Uniform Policy on any particular day must bring a note from a parent explaining the reasons for non-compliance. This is to be handed in to Student Central before the start of school. A Student Central staff member will determine whether or not a dress code exemption pass is appropriate.
Caps or Hats
All students and teachers must wear a cap or hat during break times when out on the school oval. A cap or hat is to be worn by each student in Year 7, 8 and 9 during PE classes. Head wear must not contain promotional material. Beanies must be in the school blue.
Make-up, Jewellery and Body Adornments
Make-up, jewellery and body adornments must be minimal, unobtrusive and safe. Earrings should be kept to sleepers or studs. 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.
