At Mater Dei Catholic Primary School, we take pride in our school community, and our uniform plays an important role in fostering a sense of belonging and respect.
It is the responsibility of parents and carers to ensure their children attend school each day wearing the correct school uniform. If a student is unable to wear the correct uniform for any reason, a written note/email providing an explanation must be given to the class teacher. The school hat is a compulsory part of the school uniform and must also be worn respectfully and consistently.
