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.

Each child at our school is required to wear a school uniform. When students wear a school uniform, they feel a sense of belonging and inclusion in our school community.
We require our students to be active and comfortable every day. Our uniform has been designed to ensure students can be active and participate in daily sport and physical education (PE) activities. For this reason, we do not have a separate sports uniform.
The school has a 'no hat, play in the shade' policy and as such it is expected that the school hat is worn as part of the uniform each day in Terms 1 and 4. A beanie is available in Terms 2 and 3 for the colder days.
Our uniform concept design
The Googong Public School uniform visibly represents the element of water, an important and vital element of our conceptual design.
The strength and flexibility of water is key to its power. Its sheer force can move and erode mountains, cut metal and stone, and extinguish fire. Over time the persistence of water can completely transform the landscape. It is a vital life source and can be a calming and grounding influence.
To ensure continued survival, we need to care for and nurture water. It is the most precious of resources and therefore is an apt representation of our students that flow in, through and around our school.
