Our OCS UniformThis booklet sets out important information about our school uniform and seeks to answer any questions that families may have.

All students are required to wear full uniform each day. If this is not possible for some reason, students should bring a note from parents explaining why they are unable to be in uniform, and when the school can expect this to be rectified. This note should be presented to the classroom or homeroom teacher at the beginning of the day and a uniform pass may be issued. Students must not be out of uniform without a uniform pass.

Message from our Principal

At Orange Christian School we support parents in teaching children and young people the godly character qualities and skills that will prepare them for lives of influence. This includes the discipline of personal presentation.

Just as business attire communicates professionalism and pride in an organisation, wearing of a school uniform identifies the wearer with the school and represents the school to the community.

We expect all students to wear their uniform with pride, and to wear it well. Be mindful that the way you conduct yourself while wearing school uniform reflects on the school, so be a good ambassador for your school, and for Christ.

The OCS uniform has been designed to be suitable for our future leaders to wear to school each day. We believe it is smart, comfortable, modest, hard-wearing, and represents value for money.

Let me encourage parents to take the time to read through this booklet with your children to ensure that you are fully informed about the uniform code. The uniform code aims to be explicit about items of clothing, footwear, jewellery and body art, hair and personal presentation. We trust this will enable parents, students and staff to have a positive and shared understanding of the expectations of Orange Christian School in these matters.

Ken Greenwood Orange Christian School, Principal
