Cotswold School .::. School Uniform

Students are expected and encouraged to take a pride in their general appearance. Details of the uniform are available in a brochure from the school office.

The uniform is available from Postie+ at Bishopdale Mall and Northwood Supa Centre, Susan Ross in Rutland St, and Mainland Uniforms 511 Wairakei Road.

The Cotswold School Parents Association runs a second hand uniform sale once a term. This is advertised in the school newsletter.

For safety reasons students are not permitted to wear necklaces (unless for genuine cultural reasons), bracelets, or dangly earrings. Watches, Medic Alert bracelets, and stud earrings are permitted. Nailpolish, body transfers and stickers are not encouraged. For health and safety reasons long hair must be tied back at school, and at all school activities.

If a student breaches the dress code, they are given a reminder about correct school uniform. Ongoing infringements result in a letter home to parents.
