For the entirety of the school year, all students are expected to be in the correct school uniform at all times. Whilst we do have a designated summer and winter uniform as stated in our uniform policy either uniform can be worn at anytime of the year. We do not allow mixing of uniforms such as tights with the summer dress.

Students are to wear their sports uniform on their Specialist Day. Please note that all students can wear their sports uniform every Friday (Preps can wear on Wednesday in addition to Friday). 

Please ensure that all uniform items (particularly hats,  jumpers and shell jackets) are clearly labeled. If lost, a clearly named item means we can return the item to its owner quickly, reducing stress, anxiety and wasted money.

We would appreciate families read the policy and take the time to ensure all students are in their full appropriate uniform.

We have noticed in the past, particularly, lots of shoes and socks that are not school uniform. On days it is not sports uniform day, shoes must be black leather or sport shoes that are entirely black. This allows for students to be in runners every day of the week as long as they are entirely black. Our policy on the website has visuals of examples that are acceptable and not.  Socks also need to be the correct colour with no logos etc. Grey socks should be worn with winter uniform.

Jackets: Navy wind breakers with the red logo are NOT acceptable school uniform. After a two year transition we now ask students to wear the navy jackets with white logo.

All students with hair long enough to tie back are required to do so. Reasons for this include: tidiness and safety. But one really practical one is headlice! Headlice can spread only by direct, hair-to-hair contact. If people have long, loose hair, they can migrate easily to new heads; if hair is neatly tied back, it's much less likely to happen. All children should have a clean, tidy appearance. Hair Accessories including headbands, ribbons and/or clips should be plain and in neutral or school colours - light blue, navy, maroon or the Clairvaux check scrunchie. Ornate hair decorations, extreme hairstyles or coloured hair is not permissible. Tie in hair extensions are not to be worn.

Earrings - Plain sleepers (10mm in diameter) or studs (small, flat and plain/birthstone) in gold or silver can be worn. No other jewellery except watches (Smart watches must be handed into the office for the day) may be worn. No necklaces at all are permitted - reasons for this include physical safety, keeping valuables safe etc (the one and only exception for this is to alert others to a medical condition such as anaphylaxis). Nail Polish - may be worn if clear. No coloured nail polish or false nails are to be worn. No makeup is to be worn by students.

In line with our sunsmart policy - students must wear a hat outside at all times from September 1st, All term 4 and all term 1. Hats should be in a respectable state - no tears or graffiti are allowed - please purchase a new hat if required.

Students in incorrect uniform will be issued with a uniform slip to be signed by parents and returned to school.

Our uniform is non gender specific, girls do not have to wear a dress and our uniform policy states all children have the opportunity to wear runners everyday provided that they are entirely black.

Students who are temporarily unable to wear full school uniform are expected to bring a note/parents email their teacher seeking a temporary exemption for one day. 

Uniform orders can be made online via the school24 app. Our uniform shop is open Fridays from 8:45am - 9:15am in the school hall. Wearing a uniform has many benefits and is an expectation of our community. We value your support with this matter.

Please email the class teacher if you are having any issues.

Come along to hear about how we Teach and Learn at Clairvaux. We are so proud of the steps we have taken over the last few years to bring us to the point we are at now with our teaching and learning framework.
Our instructional model based on the Science of Learning is one that we are continuously striving to refine. Last year we launched our 'playbook' for parents to gain an understanding of how we teach and learn at our school - which is able to be viewed on our website, and now we invite parents to join us for a session as we take you through some key concepts and examples of how and why we teach like we do and then offer you a chance to view the classrooms and work samples.

When: Wednesday 31st July
Time: 5pm - 5:45pm
Where: Foley Centre
Who: Parents of Year Prep/One children

RSVP: We will require an indication of numbers attending as we will reach a capacity for the space. If the link does not work then we have reached our maximum number of parents.Please click here to register

We request that children DO NOT attend the session.
