Dress Code
Under new legislation introduced to the Queensland Education Act in November 2006, school uniforms standards, which include head and footwear, are now enforceable by law. The dress standard of Ayr State High School reflects the community expectations and standards, as determined by the Principal, in consultation with community representatives. Students are to be neat and clean in appearance, wearing suitable footwear and sun protection for the school environment,
The community expects that a good high school will have a uniform and students are required to wear that uniform correctly. The community at large makes its judgement of a school by the appearance and behaviour of its students. It is expected that all parents will be mindful of the expectation and ensure their child wears the correct school uniform with pride.
Uniforms
Ayr State High School adopts both a school uniform and a formal dress uniform for both girls and boys. Our students are well presented and we look forward to continued parental support in this important area.
