Uniforms
Wynnum State High School is a uniform school. The Parents and Citizen’s Association and staff of this school expect students to wear the full uniform correctly and with pride. This means both whilst at school and whilst moving to and from school.
The day uniform is worn on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Students in Year 8, 9 and 10 are to wear their sports uniform on Wednesday. Students who have Health & Physical Education classes are to bring their sports uniform to school and change into it for HPE classes. Students are then to change back into their day uniform.
The following policy is in place with respect to the wearing of jewellery to school.
- You may only wear 2 earrings - studs or sleepers only per ear
- A bangle that cannot be removed
- A simple ring
- A simple chain with a cross or zodiac sign

Fashion statements are not appropriate in the school setting. This above jewellery policy applies to both boys and girls. Jewellery that exceeds the above requirements may be confiscated. Students are expected to wear only appropriate hairstyles and in a natural hair colour. Clear nail polish is acceptable and make-up, if worn, must be kept to a minimum.
The Student Council conducts one non-uniform day per term to raise funds for charities or other initiatives. Students are able to wear non-uniform on this day and give a gold coin donation for the privilege of doing so. On non-uniform days, workplace health and safety considerations require students to wear safe and appropriate footwear – enclosed and dress is to be modest and appropriate. T-shirts are not to have offensive slogans on them and female students are not permitted have areas of their bodies exposed. Small and revealing singlets are also not permitted. Students will be sent home to dress appropriately if they breach these guidelines.
On Wednesdays senior students attending school for the WAAVES program must present in the school uniform.
The preferred school hat is a plain black cap or hat.

- The name on the back of the jersey is to be approved.

Students who experience difficulties wearing an item of the school uniform are asked to see an administrator or Year Coordinator. Jeans or jean shorts are NEVER able to be worn to school. Girls’ skirts must be worn at the knee.
