Student Uniform & Dress Code The P & C Association has resolved that it supports a student dress code policy for Alexandra Hills State
High School because it believes that a dress code policy promotes the objectives of the Education (General
Provisions) Act 2006, and in particular that it:
Promotes a safe environment for learning by enabling ready identification of students and non-
students of the school
Promotes an effective teaching and learning environment by eliminating the distraction of competition
in dress and fashion at the school
Promotes a sense of common purpose and belonging, consistency and unity in the daily activities of
students
Fosters mutual respect among individuals at the school by minimising visible evidence of economic,
class or social differences
All students require an everyday uniform for normal class activities as well as for excursions or community-
development activities unless otherwise stipulated. In addition, students will require a sports uniform for
sports and Health and Physical Education classes. Students should wear their uniform correctly and with
pride in all locations. Even when wearing the school uniform outside the school grounds, students are
always representing Alexandra Hills State High School.
