Uniforms

Orange Grove Primary School has a dress code for that all children attending the school are expected to wear. School uniforms are available through Lowes, Maddington Central; corner Burslem Drive & Attfield Street, Maddington.

We believe that a dress code:

• Fosters and enhances the public image
• Assists in building school and team spirit
• Ensures that students are safely dressed for specific school activities
• Encourages equity among the students and
• Prepares students for work, as many places have dress and safety codes
