Policy

Belmont Intermediate School students are required to wear a common uniform for the following reasons:

•    To create in each student positive feelings of ‘belonging’ and pride in the school.
•    To enable students to be identified as part of Belmont Intermediate School in and out of the school grounds.
•    To eliminate peer pressure brought about by comparisons resulting from differing socio-economic backgrounds.
•    To enhance the image of the school.
•    To provide suitable clothing for school activities.
Therefore the Principal shall ensure the following: -

•    The required uniform is listed in the Prospectus – a copy of the uniform regulations is attached
