Uniforms

KBCHS Dress Code

The decision to have a Uniform Policy and Dress Code for students is the responsibility of the School Board, in consultation with its school community, that is:  staff, parents and students.  We want students to be proud of our school and to identify with it, by wearing our designated uniform.  Wearing our school attire also makes it easier for staff to identify any intruders into the school, therefore there is also a safety aspect to consider.

Note: The School Board ratified the updated uniform policy on November 21, 2024. 

Rationale

The Kalgoorlie Boulder Community High School Board has established a dress code for all students attending the school.  The KBCHS dress code requires students to wear specific attire bearing the school logo, supplemented by generic items that must fit stated standards.  This requirement extends to specialised attire for learning contexts, such as Personal Protective Equipment in the workshops/Kitchen areas. 

Our Dress Code:

Prepares students for the workplace, where conformity to dress and safety codes is expected.

Uniform Passes

It is a requirement that students are always in full KBCHS uniform.  If a student is out of uniform, they are required to report to Student Services with a note from their parent/caregiver with a reasonable explanation.  The student will then be issued with a Uniform Pass. If the student does not have a note, a parent phone call will be made to request student’s uniform be brought to the school.  If this is not possible, the student may be provided with a spare uniform from the office or a Uniform Pass. Ongoing violations will be managed by the Student Services team. A consistent and vigilant approach from all staff will assist in dealing with students out of uniform.
