Uniform

The Dairy Flat School uniform, featuring a distinctive black and yellow design, plays an important part in ensuring students feel part of our school community. All students must wear a school uniform shirt teamed with shorts/skort or trousers, these do not have to be school logo issue but must be black in colour and not sports nylon. School fleeces and rain jackets provide an extra layer of warmth during cooler months. Hats are compulsory in terms 1 and 4. Students may wear sunglasses for sunny days and a plain black beanie in the winter time.  Please ensure your child brings their school uniform hat to school each day – this is the yellow bucket hat (we also suggest bringing togs, towel and a plastic bag every day, for any class time swims during the summer terms).
