School Uniform Policy
The School Uniform policy has been developed in accordance with the Department of Education School Uniform Policy.
The School Uniform Policy was developed after consultation between students, parents and staff. This policy is strongly endorsed by the North Nowra Public School P&C Association.
The North Nowra Public School P&C Association voted on and changed the school uniform at a Special General Meeting on Tuesday 15th September 2015 (An amendment to the policy was passed at a meeting of the P & C Association on 16 August 2016 regarding wearing of Representative Sport Jumpers). The North Nowra Public School Principal has accepted the recommendation. The new school uniform (as of 15/09/15) will be mandatory as of Term 1, 2019.
