• Emmaus polo shirt
• Emmaus shorts (Shorts need to be correct fit and not too baggy)
• Emmaus hat
• Running shoes or cross trainers (Skate Shoes or Dunlop Volleys are not permitted as they don’t provide appropriate support for ankles or soles of their feet)
• Emmaus tracksuit on cooler days (Shorts and shirts need to be worn under the tracksuit so that they can be removed when students have warmed up)
• Sports drink bottle (water only)

Students who are injured or ill are still required to be changed, as they will be incorporated into the lessons where possible (i.e. umpiring, coaching, statistician, video recorder, etc.). A note from parents / caregivers or specialist is great appreciated outlining your child’s injuries and possible timeframe that they may be out of for practical lessons.

Tattoos:

Emmaus students are not permitted to have any permanent or semi-permanent tattoo (or something similar) that is visible in any form of the Emmaus uniform, including sports singlets and swimming carnivals. It is not appropriate for a tattoo to be covered by a bandage (or similar) in an area that would otherwise be visible.

The ELC uniform is the same as the Foundation to Year 6 uniform except for the shoes and the additional Emmaus beanie.
Early learners may wear comfortable, sports shoes every day and are not required to purchase a black leather shoe.

We recognise that children are very physically active during play times therefore, the Early Learning Centre and Junior School uniform has been designed for comfort, practicality and durability.

The Junior School Girls 'Summer' Uniform (Terms 1 & 4) allows girls the choice of either the unisex uniform or dress. The dress is only to be worn with the jumper and not with the sports style rugby top or jacket.

Junior School Shoes

Each child should own two pairs of school shoes:

1. Black leather lace-up school shoes (Junior Primary F-2 may have velcro). This does not include 'lady jane' style or sports sneakers
2. Quality sports shoes - where possible in neutral College colours including a single colour or combination of white, blue, grey, black (F-2 may have velcro straps instead of laces)

Uniform Shoe Guidelines

Expectations for occasions

Regardless of the number of days a student is able to wear their Sports uniform, all students are required to have a full set of regular College summer and winter uniforms.

Sports uniform is to be worn on days that students have practical Sports lessons or Year 7-9 Dance lessons. Students may come to and from the College in Sports uniform without changing at the College on these days.

There will be occasions, including sport tryouts, when changing is required during the course of a school day and students will be made aware of these occasions as directed by the Head of School.

Formal and External Events

When students represent the College at an event (e.g., an awards ceremony, inter-school competition, or performance), they are required to wear the 'formal uniform' as determined by the Head of School. The formal uniform includes a blazer, tie, and shirt for both boys and girls. Girls may borrow the tie from the uniform shop for these special occasions.

Sports Uniform
Students may wear their Sports uniform on the days they have Sports lessons. In addition to this:

Year 7-9 Dance and Drama: Students may wear their Sports uniform on days when Dance and Drama is taught.
Year 10-12 Dance: Students can wear the sports uniform to and from school and change into black athletic wear for the lesson.
Year 10-12 Drama: Students wear formal uniform to and from school and may wear shorts underneath their dress for lessons. Purchasing the sports uniform is not a requirement.

Uniform Seasons

The summer uniform is to be worn during Term 1 and Term 4.
The winter uniform is to be worn during Term 2 and Term 3.
During Terms 2 and 3, the summer uniform is permitted when the temperature is 24C or over, as forecast by the BOM at 4pm the day prior.
