School Uniform
Our uniform policy has the overwhelming support of parents, students and staff. It was introduced with the aim of fostering school spirit and at the same time to try and reduce costs. The wearing of school uniform has the support of the Education Department of W.A. and the Kelmscott SHS Board.
All students are expected to wear the school uniform at all times. Students not wearing uniform must report to the Gell Centre before school and collect a uniform pass for the day.
The school has a number of school shirts (lower and upper school) lower school jumpers and upper school jackets. These are marked Gell Centre. These may be signed out to a student for a short period, if for any reason a student is unable to wear his or her own uniform.
The uniform is as follows:
BOYS:
| Top | Lemon polo shirt with school crest; and a regulation school jumper – bottle green with yellow strips OR bottle green school Rugby Top. (Years 8-10) Navy blue or white polo shirt with school crest; and a regulation school jacket – navy blue zip jacket with white strip and large "K" OR navy blue school Rugby Top. |
