3 lessons. The school encourages children to wear hats to and from school. The executive team that supervise student crossings are a constant visible reminder to students as they always wear Sunsmart hats. We continually remind students about the importance of wearing their hats to and from school and request that parents also reinforce this message. There are three approved styles for Parap hats the bucket style, legionnaire and surf style. Footwear Appropriate school footwear for students is defined as school style shoes, joggers or sandals. Bare feet, thongs, Crocs, masseur-style sandals and strappy sandals are not appropriate school wear. Working Together: Parents/Caregivers may choose to utilise the Governments Back to School Voucher scheme to obtain school uniforms. The School Council stands by our motto of Working Together and gives every support to our families to enable all students to meet our dress standards. A second-hand uniform pool exists and we often have sales on older merchandise. We also understand that obtaining school uniforms can pose a financial burden and parents are encouraged to contact the Principal for in confidence support. Maintaining standards: There are a small number of students who chose to wear non-compliant items to school. Denim shorts, board shorts, strappy sandals and thongs have all been appearing of late. We understand that sometimes unavoidable circumstances occur and a short note to your childs teacher will ensure your childs situation is understood. Students who choose to wear non-compliant shorts, shirts and shoes for fashion statements are sent to the office and provided with a spare uniform. They will then be asked to return the borrowed uniform to the school the next day clean. SCHOOL ARRIVAL TIMES. I am increasingly concerned by the growing number of children arriving at school prior to 7:30 a.m. Parents are reminded that Paraps school policy has long been an 8:00 a.m. drop off. There is no supervision at school prior to this time and as such we strongly discourage parents dropping their children at school and leaving them unsupervised prior to 8 a.m.
