The wearing of School Uniform at Chalcot Lodge Primary School is compulsory. The Uniform Policy states that no variations to the items in the official Chalcot Lodge PS uniform list is acceptable. 

Our policy also states that students' hair must be of a natural colour.  In relation to jewellery, students are only permitted to wear small plain ear sleepers or flat plain ear studs, a watch and medical or religious necklaces/bracelets under their clothing.  Please note the school takes no responsibility for the loss or breakages of these items.   Logos are compulsory on T-shirts, windcheaters and jackets. The school has received many positive comments on the appearance of our students both in the school grounds and when representing the school in the wider community at special events such as sporting events and excursions. Whilst initially there is an outlay for school uniform, in the long run, it is probably the least expensive way to clothe students in primary school.  Other advantages are: students don't have to think about what they are going to wear each day and it eliminates any competitive dressing in the latest 'trendy' clothes which are far more expensive.   The wearing of uniform fosters in the students a sense of pride, belonging and commitment to our school.  As uniform items are of similar appearance and students are prone to leaving items of clothing lying around the school ground:UNIFORM  ITEMS, ESPECIALLY WINDCHEATERS, JACKETS AND HATS MUST BE CLEARLY  MARKED  WITH  THE  STUDENT’S  NAME  AND  CLASS.  It is wise to impress on your children that all garments they wear to school must be brought home again daily.

Purchasing of Uniform

Uniforms may be purchased through Beleza Schoolwear Pty Ltd at their store at Spring Street Hallam. Garment lists and prices are available at the office.  

Footwear:  bottle green or white socks and tights; black or brown shoes; black or white runners preferably white soled and laces to match the shoes; black, brown or white sandals with toes; and gumboots acceptable in wet conditions.

Hair Accessories:  hair ties, eg elastic bands, can be any colour, however, larger hair accessories, such as scrunchies, headbands etc, must be green or white.  Parent support of the Student Dress Code Policy is greatly appreciated.

Printing of Uniforms

During the first and last week of each term, parents are able to submit their own garments to have the school logo printed on them.  Please note only exact uniform styles and colours are acceptable.  For example, polo shirts with pockets or emblems are not acceptable, nor are garments with hoods. The cost of the printing is $5.00 per clothing item and $8.00 for printing of our logo on hats.  For best results, garments to be printed need to be new or in 'as new' condition.   Garments must be named (no pins) and placed in a plastic bag.  On the outside of the bag, please write your child's name, grade and the number of garments in the bag.  Please note that home sewn garments must be finished.  Incomplete garments will not be accepted.   A printing order form must also accompany all items.  These forms are available at the school office.  If you do not presently have a child at school, please write your phone number as well. Please note that this service will only be available provided that an adequate number of families use the service.

Pre Loved Uniforms

A small range of pre-loved items of uniform is available.  Enquiries can be made at the office.

School Bags

Whilst Chalcot Lodge school bags are available from Beleza, they are not obligatory.  For safety reasons, it is wise to mark your child's name on the inside of the bag, not the outside.  A colourful key ring, which is easily identified, helps each student recognise their own bag.  Prep students use a large scrapbook, which is sometimes taken home.  A large school bag, which will hold an unfolded scrapbook, is preferred.

Footwear

Thongs are unsuitable school wear and are not permitted.  On very wet days, gumboots may be worn to school, but shoes are then needed inside.  White soled runners are preferred for sports activities in the Multi-Purpose Hall.  Preps will remove shoes and socks for PMP.  For safety reasons, sandals should have enclosed toes.
