Jewellery
Department of Education guidelines insist that jewellery or other items that could, with reasonable foreseeability, cause an injury to the student wearing it, or to other students, must not be worn at school. These guidelines provide for schools to instruct students to remove jewellery if it is considered dangerous.
At Bankstown West Public School we consider acceptable items to be modest jewellery only, such as small studs or sleepers if ears are pierced. Excessive or large jewellery, including costume jewellery, is a health and safety hazard and will not be permitted at school. Items considered unsafe and therefore unacceptable include large earrings, bracelets, bangles, rings and necklaces. Some items of jewellery may be of religious or cultural significance. While these are acceptable, consideration should be given to the value of the item (monetary and emotional) as the school cannot be held responsible for loss or breakage. Where possible, such items should be kept out of sight.
Furthermore, in order for a child to be allowed to wear such items parents will need to put in writing a request for approval to the school office. Medical alert jewellery is always permissible.
Uniforms
When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community.
Students, teachers, parents and carers, as well as members of our local community helped develop our school uniform to make sure it:
meets the requirements of occupational health and safety, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation
includes items that are affordable, comfortable and made from easy-care and easy-wear fabrics
is appropriate for the full range of school activities
is suitable for all body shapes.
