St Joseph's School (Hastings)

SCHOOL UNIFORM

St Joseph's School uniform (EXCEPT CULOTTES) can now be purchased from NZ Uniforms who have a shop at 819 Heretaunga Street West, St Leonards, Hastings. Each stock item size will be on display for trying on, then any items purchased will be retrieved from their stock stored onsite.

Unfortunately NZ Uniforms are not able to supply cullottes for approximately 9 months (as at 31 July 2024) due to sourcing and making of the fabric, then making the culottes. In the meantime, families can go to NZ Uniforms and try on the sample stock that is held there to identify the correct size and then purchase the culottes through our old supplier Mainland Uniforms via the following link. We apologise for any inconvience with this process.

Summer Caps and Hats (compulsory wearing in Term 1 & 4) are available from the school office. We hold a small selection of second hand items in the school office.

EXPECTED DRESS CODE

Our smart, functional uniform assists students to develop a sense of belonging, and pride in themselves and their school.We rely on parents/caregivers to help us:

Maintain a good standard of dress
Confine jewellery to a wristwatch and 1 set of ear studs only
Keep facial makeup and fingernail polish for weekends and special occasions
Maintain hairstyles that are appropriate and safe for all school activities (if necessary hair should be tied back). Hair fringes must not obstruct eyes/ vision / view. Radical styles and coloured hair are unacceptable.
Comply with footwear requirements e.g. no sneakers/basketball boots for day wear (acceptable for sports activities only)
Ensure that all clothing is clearly NAMED
Please note that students with additional piercings will be asked to remove them

Taonga - Cultural (e.g. bone carving, pounamu), religious (e.g. Catholic cross, Hindu shakti) - at St Joseph's School, there is a right to wear the appropriate items without prejudice or bias. Taonga is best kept underneath clothing during Technology classes. Taonga should be removed for PE & Sport lessons, all due to safety for not being caught and or ripped off; protecting wearers or those interacting with you if in a physical capacity.
