UNIFORM
Our distinctive green and gold school uniform provides a sense of unity and collective identity. We ask that students take pride in their appearance, arriving at school clean, neat and wearing the correct uniform as outlined in our guidelines below. Although we believe it is the student’s responsibility to dress according to Heaton’s guidelines we ask caregivers to offer support where required.

Guidelines for our uniform
Sunhats
- As part of our sunsafe policy, sunhats are a compulsory part of our school uniform. These are worn in terms one and four. The regulation green hat or black cap can be purchased from the School Canteen from day one.
Footwear
- Black lace-up or t-bar leather shoes. Pupils are expected to wear regulation footwear to and from school and should also have suitable footwear for Physical Education and Sport. Parents are reminded of the need for children to wear suitably protective footwear while working in the Technology areas.
Jewellery
- You may choose to wear a necklace of cultural or religious significance. Plain silver or gold ear studs are allowed. No rings or bracelets (safety). Nose-piercing must be flesh-coloured. The school takes zero responsibility for lost jewellery.
Overclothing
- Children are permitted to wear protective clothing over their uniforms when travelling to and from school. Children must wear their school uniform at school.
Hair
- Hair should be tidily kept at all times and worn in keeping with the intended spirit of the school uniform. Pupils with long hair should tie it back neatly.
Manner of Attire
- Students are expected to wear their uniforms neatly and refrain from the use of makeup, nail polish and other such products.
Naming of Uniform
- Parents will be well aware of the need for all clothing and equipment to be clearly named. Annually, numerous articles are lost or never claimed.
