Here are just a few reasons Canning Vale Primary School students and students all over the world wear a uniform.
- Uniforms give students a sense of belonging and enhance pride in their school. Wearing a uniform shows unity and identity. In much the same way football followers will wear their team’s jersey or scarf, a uniform builds a sense of community.
- Uniforms help students prepare for the workforce. Whether it’s wearing safety gear in a construction job or corporate wear in an office, most jobs require a standard of dress.
- Uniforms actually cost less than a normal wardrobe. It may seem that some individual uniform items are expensive but when compared to having a whole wardrobe of different outfits, the overall price is much smaller.
- Uniforms reduce peer pressure and bullying. Our students come from a wide range of family situations. Some are wealthy and others struggle. Students cannot be judged by their appearance because they are all wearing the same uniforms.
- Uniforms help students study and do better in exams as the focus is on learning and not the clothing.
