School Uniform
The Skye Primary School Council upholds our school Uniform Policy and has declared that it is compulsory for school uniform to be worn for the following reasons:
- A uniform gives a school a sense of unity.
- A uniform removes the sense of competition in dress, which can often cause stress amongst students.
- Wearing a school uniform has the important safety factor of making Skye Primary children instantly recognisable in any group, such as when on excursion.
Skye Primary School children will not be permitted to attend out of school functions, e.g. excursions, unless they are wearing school uniform. This decision is to ensure the safety of our students while away from school and to provide a sense of unity to the public so that the image of our school is thus enhanced.
THONGS AND SANDALS ARE NOT PERMITTED FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY REASONS
If for any reason a child may not be able to wear shoes to school e.g. blistered feet, a note must be provided from parents.
PLEASE NOTE THAT DENIM AND FASHION PANTS ARE NOT A PART OF OUR SCHOOL UNIFORM.

School Council
All government schools in Victoria have school councils.. They are legally formed bodies that are given powers to set the key directions of a school. In the performance of their role, school councils are able to directly influence the quality of education that the school provides for its students.
Within guidelines provided by the Department of Education & Training (DET), a school council has responsibilities for developing such things as
- The school’s budget which shares out the available resources to enhance and support the learning needs of the students of Skye Primary school.
- The general educational policy of the school
- The physical appearance and maintenance of the school’s buildings and grounds
- The student code of conduct which provides a safe and orderly environment for learning
- An annual report on the school’s achievements….
Skye Primary School Council has a membership of 14:
- 8 parents
- 5 DET employees, which includes the Principal as the Executive Officer
- 1 Co-Opted Community Member
School Council meets the first Tuesday of each month.
School Council elections are held each year for 4 parent and 2 DET employee positions. The notice of election is advertised through the weekly school newsletter in February of each year.
Further information on school councils can be obtained from the DET Website.
Aaron Gionis is Skye Primary School’s Council President.
Further questions about school council can be directed to the School Principal.
