At Mount Warren Park State School, we believe that every student can 'Strive to Succeed' and be the best version of themselves. By fostering high expectations in adhering to our Dress Code and Personal Presentation Policy, we aim to instil in our students that they belong to a strong community of learners.

The Mount Warren Park State School Dress Code and Personal Presentation Policy aims to foster a safe and supportive learning environment by:

• Establishing a welcoming culture of school pride and belonging, a positive learning environment and high expectations
• Promoting a positive image within our community with an identifiable uniform that is smart, tidy and worn appropriately
• Addressing health and safety policies by ensuring students are wearing appropriate footwear and sun safe clothing
• Promoting the shared belief that we are part of something special and great, developing mutual respect among students by minimising visible evidence of economic or social difference
• Improving student safety by enabling staff to identify people within the school grounds who are not associated with the school and identifying students at offsite activities such as excursions
  
   Under the Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 (Qld) section 360, a Principal may develop a dress code to apply when students are attending or representing the school. As per the Act, this dress code outlines the acceptable standard of clothing to be worn by students and personal presentation. The Mount Warren Park State School Dress Code and Personal Presentation Policy reflects the community expectations and standards as determined by the Principal in consultation with school community representatives.
  
  Our Dress Code and Personal Presentation Policy consists of an agreed standard and items of clothing. This includes a school uniform that all students will wear when:

• Attending or representing our school
• Travelling to and from school
• Engaging in school activities out of school hours
