If students are unable to wear uniform on a particular day, communication from parents/caregivers is required and the student will be given an exemption badge. Uniforms should be in good condition. Torn or defaced uniforms are unacceptable.
In keeping with the schools principles of social justice, the Principal may arrange for uniform items to be made available to families in extenuating circumstances. Parents or staff should contact the Principal to discuss the situation.

If a student is wearing incorrect uniform, the process we follow at Brighton Primary School is as follows:
- The student will receive a Uniform Exemption Badge which informs staff that the child has had a verbal reminder and a note sent home informing the family.
- On the next occurrence the student will be given the correct uniform item/s to wear for the remainder of the day and parents will be contacted by front office staff.
- Third occurrence, the front office staff will contact parents to collect and change their child into correct uniform.
Repeat occurrences will result in a meeting with a member from the leadership team.
