New Uniform Price List & Order Form

The school uniform shop operates to provide parents with a convenient option to purchase the approved Ironside State School Uniform. The volunteers are also happy to offer advice to new parents to the school on general community related information to assist with the transition for the children as well as the parents.

Volunteer parents and friends run the uniform shop in consultation with Mrs Wurth, the tuckshop convenor. The Uniform Shop closes on the second-last Wednesday of Term 4 and is NOT open during the last week of school.

Uniform Policy

Wearing the Ironside State School uniform assists in maintaining the tone within the school and gives the children a sense of belonging. It also eliminates undesirable competition in dress. We appreciate your co-operation in ensuring the children wear the uniform to school and to school events. It is important that the uniform be worn as a complete ensemble and not mixed with other garments. All prep students are to wear the yellow legionnaire's cap.

The expense of lost gear can really add up, so labelling is a great cost-saving measure. Labelling your child's belongings really does help. If something is named, the school is only too happy to return it to your child. There are plenty of ways to label your child's belongings, including hard-to-name items like shoes and socks.

Swimwear

The Queensland Government has encouraged all schools to implement a sun safe policy by the end of the 2008 school year. The Queensland Cancer Council advises that an important element of a Sun Smart programme is the incorporation of a sun shirt into the school uniform. As our school has a swimming pool which is utilised for physical education, lessons and a swimming club, it is considered a priority for the school to make appropriate swimwear available for purchase by parents.

Silicone swim caps in blue with Ironside text in white can be purchased directly from the school uniform shop. Lycra material caps in the school house colours of blue (Oxley), green (Cook), red (Flinders) and yellow (Sturt) can also be purchased directly from the uniform shop.

Babes in the Shade

The swimwear supplier to the school is a Queensland company specialising in quality sun protection wear. The swimwear range is made from durable, quick drying material which is colourfast in chlorinated water. All Babes in the Shade sun shirts have an ultraviolet protection factor of 50+ - the highest available in Australia.
