Girl In School Uniform Outfit
|
School uniforms in Australia originally followed the British models. Nearly all private and government schools, in all Australian states, have a compulsory uniform policy, though the degree of enforcement varies. For boys, the uniforms generally include a button-up shirt and/or polo shirt together with either short trousers (especially for summer wear) or long trousers, often in grey. Where short trousers are to be worn, long (knee-length) socks in school colours are often required. Girls' uniforms generally include skirts, culottes, dresses, jumpers, blouses and/or poloshirts and sometimes also trousers and shorts.
At private schools, uniforms for either gender often include a blazer, tie and hat. A different uniform specifically for sports is usually worn for physical education activities. These can include skin tight leggings, shorts, and netball and tennis skirts.
In recent times Year 12 (and in some schools, Year 11) students at some Australian schools have been allowed to wear particular jerseys or printed tops to denote their final-year status. In some schools this has taken the form of a differently coloured jumper (sometimes white or cream), or a special commemorative year-12 top (e.g. a rugby top) with the last two digits of the year and a name or nickname displayed (shown at right). Alternatively, tops are sometimes printed with the names of all students in that year level. Some schools also have different ties or blazers for senior years.
