Uniform

The wearing of an official school uniform is compulsory at Port Hacking High. This has been supported by the P & C.

Our uniform identifies the student with this school and gives the student a sense of belonging to the school population. Parents of new students are advised to provide their children with the school uniform as quickly as possible, so that they too can share this pride in the uniform and in the school for which it stands.

Our policy

If there is good reason for a student to be out of uniform, a note should be brought from home stating the reason and the length of time involved. The student should report before school to their Period 1 teacher to obtain an out-of-uniform pass for that day. Failure to keep to school rules may lead to detention.

Students must wear all black leather shoes (synthetic or genuine leather), as per information on following pages. The striped school socks are compulsory. Trousers and shorts should be at waist height and of neat appearance. Students should not wear excessive make-up or jewellery. Hair should be clean and tidy. Extreme styles and colours which detract from the Port Hacking uniform appearance are not acceptable. Most high school students are not of a legal age to obtain a tattoo. Students with a tattoo will need to cover it up and not have it visible. The Principal and Deputy Principal will decide what is acceptable and what is not.

All articles of clothing and personal possessions should be labelled clearly, including shoes.

Port Hacking High School requires students to wear appropriate and acceptable footwear in-line with Work Health and Safety requirements and legislation according to NSW Department of Education Policy.
