School Uniforms

Our uniforms are available for purchase at Uniform Concepts. This link will take you to the order page and give you all the information you need… https://www.nellgray.com.au/Schools/Canning-Vale-Primary-School

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
