UNIFORM CODE 

At Buller High School we expect our students to wear the school uniform with pride. The Board of Trustees, Principal and Staff appreciate the co-operation and assistance of parents in maintaining a high standard of dress at school, which helps to raise self-esteem and generate a sense of pride in our pupils. The uniform and guidelines for wearing it are strictly adhered to and breaches of these are treated seriously.  
 
The school uniform must be worn correctly. This includes times when a pupil is attending school, travelling to and from school, representing the School on official trips and other functions.  
  • Any variation to the uniform for an individual pupil for the long-term, must have the approval of the Deputy Principal (seniors) or Assistant Principal (juniors).  
  • Temporary exemptions in an emergency will usually be granted on request from a parent/caregiver providing that a note, clearly stating the reason and the length of time requested, is presented to the House Dean on Duty before classes begin for the day.  
  • NOTE: The House Dean will attempt to provide correct uniform for the day. If this is not possible, a pass will be provided. 
  • Additional non-uniform clothing worn for extra warmth, must not be visible.
