Student dress code
Mt Tyson State School believes a student dress code promotes the objectives as outlined in the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006, and in particular that it:
- promotes a safe environment for learning by enabling 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 supportive environment by fostering a sense of belonging and assists our anti-bullying strategies.
- assists in elimination of discrimination based on class, culture and social circumstances
- provides a long term lower cost to families.
- assists the school to comply with the requirements of the Workplace Health and Safety Act.
Student responsibilities
It is the responsibility of every student to:
- wear the full school uniform correctly to, from and during school each day.
- always wear the school uniform in its intended manner.
- uphold the reputation of Mt Tyson State School when wearing the uniform out of school time and on excursions.
