Uniform

All students are expected to maintain the correct uniform standards both throughout the school day and during their journey to and from school.

Please remember:

  • Blazers: Must be worn around the school campus and as students enter and leave their classrooms.
  • Shirts: Must be neatly tucked in at all times.
  • Skirts: Must be worn as intended, without any custom modifications or rolling.

Our students are proud ambassadors for Writhlington School; wearing the uniform correctly reflects that pride and respect for our community.
