The following proposal has been suggested for changes to the Uniform Policy for 2010.  There would be a 12 month changeover timeframe to phase in the new uniform.  We welcome your comments and feedback -  box.hill.hs@edumail.vic.gov.au

Wearing of uniform between school and home, and in the schoolyard

Box Hill High School is proud of its image in the community and an important part of this is the school uniform. Therefore all students will wear the full school uniform, including the school shoes, shirts, jumpers or jackets according to the season. Non-regulation jackets, shoes, and pants are not permitted. School shoes must be worn to and from school and in the school at all times, except when actively playing sport or practical PE, where sneakers are permitted. Sneakers are only to be worn while in the gymnasium or while actually playing sport.
