Our school uniform is compulsory

Wearing the uniform encourages a sense of belonging and identity - our pupils are proud to be recognised as Pegasus Bay School children.   

It is the responsibility of ALL children at Pegasus Bay to ensure they are wearing the correct school uniform.  A signed note from a parent/caregiver is required if there is to be a temporary change from the wearing of the uniform.   

Please note that only the items listed on our uniform list are permitted.  

​

Whilst we don't prescribe the shoes your children should wear, Crocs, jandals, scuffs/slides, and Ugg boots are not acceptable footwear for school. We trust that you will ensure they have adequate footwear to be able to take part in sporting activities.  When choosing footwear, you should also consider that we operate shoeless Active Learning Spaces, and your child will be taking their shoes on and off numerous times during the day.   

 

In the winter, children can wear navy blue thermal tops and tights - patterns, stripes, logo's and non-navy items are not permitted.  

Please can you ensure that your child's clothing is clearly named and of tidy appearance.   
We have a very distinctive school hat, and this is only available to purchase via our Kindo app. Once your payment has cleared, we will deliver the named hat to your child in class.  Hats are $25 each.

 

The hat is compulsory for all students. During Terms 1 and 4 we have a strict 'no hat, no play' policy - all children must wear a hat if they wish to play outside or they will be restricted to the shaded areas.   

 

There are no shared or spare hats, as that could mean sharing head lice too. 

 

Sports jackets and tops that some children have received for representing either our kura or their local club at sporting events outside of school are not part of our uniform and should not be worn to school. 

​

 

PALS jackets are the only exception - and are only to be worn when on PALS duty as an addition to the uniform. 

​

Where to buy the uniform:

All items of our uniform (apart from the hat) are available to purchase from The Warehouse Rangiora. They operate a layby system and periodically have special offers on non-logo items.

In addition to being able to purchase our uniform from The Warehouse Rangiora (and via them online), we also have a second-hand uniform shop in the office.  All items in our second-hand shop are either $5 or $10.

​

Make-up:

It is not appropriate for children to wear makeup to school. If a child comes to school with makeup on, they will be asked to remove it with soap and water in the student bathrooms. 

 

Lost property:

We ask that all belongings be clearly named so that unclaimed items can be easily returned to their owners. 

 

We don't have a central lost property box. Items will usually be left in the ALS according to the size of the item. Unclaimed and unnamed items are periodically donated to clothing bins or to our secondhand uniform shop.
