Boy’s and Girl’s Prep Uniform- For safety reasons Prep polo style shirts are distinctly different to the shirts in Years 1-7
Shirts for both boys and girls are polo shirts with a royal blue back
Other items of uniform are the same as listed for boys and girls (above)
Year 7 shirts- students in Year 7 are permitted to wear a Year 7 school uniform shirt. This shirt varies from year to year.
Zone Athletic Shirts and Hats- students who have purchased Zone shirts and Sun Smart Zone hats for Zone athletics are allowed to wear their Zone shirt and hat to school.
Band/String Ensemble Uniform
All students who are members of the school band or strings ensemble are required to wear this uniform for performances in the community and other special performances: blue socks, black shoes, band shirt and long blue trousers. The P & C operates a hire system for the trousers and shirts.
Hats- Maryborough Central is a Sun Smart school. The Queensland Cancer Fund recommends brims on hats to be at least 8 cm. Research indicates that a board brimmed hat will reduce the amount of Ultra Violet Radiation reaching the face by 50%. This is equivalent to an Ultraviolet Protection Factor of 2. Therefore caps or hats with less than an 8 cm brim do not comply with our policy. Hats that comply include:
- Soft brimmed (surf) royal blue hat with no less than 8 cm brim, with school emblem or
- Legionnaire cap with school emblem
All students must wear a hat while outside to reduce harmful effects of the sun. The practice of wearing hats in a child’s formative years will reduce the incidence of skin cancer later in life. All students must wear a sun smart hat:
before school and at first and second play breaks when outside
- during Health and Physical Education Lessons
- during other outdoor lessons and activities
Bike helmets
Bike helmets do not afford any shade. Students are encouraged to apply sunscreen before riding their bikes. Bike helmet covers are readily available from many retail outlets.
Sunglasses
Students are encouraged to wear school approved sunglasses for outdoor activities. These must bear the student’s name for identification purposes.
Jewellery
In the interest of safety, the wearing of jewellery at school is discouraged given that students play during breaks and take part in active class activities and lessons including Health and Physical Education. The wearing of jewellery increases the risk of harm to students.
Students may wear a safe item of jewellery for medical or religious purposes only. This may include:
- one neck chain to be worn inside the shirt - one that does not detract from the school uniform and does not have sharp edges/features
- one flat wrist medical bracelet without sharp edges/features detailing medical emergency needs (medi-alert)
Students may wear one set of small studs/sleepers or one small individual ear stud/sleeper in pierced ears - no dangling earrings are permitted and only one earring per ear is permitted
Students may not wear:
- studs/rings in body parts other than ears
- necklaces that are not for medical or religious purposes
- bracelets that are not for medical purposes
- anklets
Hair Styles
Neat practical hairstyles are expected. Both boys and girls are expected to secure long hair to protect against head lice and to avoid interference with desk work and practical activities. Hair colour is strongly discouraged.
Students are expected to wear:
- long hair tied back (for reasons stated above)
Students are permitted to wear:
- one thin hair band that is preferably the school colours
- Students are not permitted to wear bandanas
Make-up
Students must not wear make-up to school.
Nail Polish
Students must not wear nail polish to school.
Applications for students to be exempt from any aspects of the Student Dress Code must be made in writing to the Principal for consideration.
