All you need to know about the KSS uniform.
At Knights Stream School, through the compulsory wearing of school uniform, we will instil a strong feeling of identity and pride in the community.
Why have a uniform?
-
provide a sense of identity
-
maintain a high standard of personal presentation
-
provide a sense of belonging
-
foster pride
-
reduce peer pressure on differences
-
make it easier – decisions for parents!

In the winter, it is a good idea for the children to have light shoes or slippers so that they can leave gumboots or wet shoes outside the classrooms. Any outdoor jacket can be worn to and from school and during break times.
All shorts, skorts, track pants and undergarments must be black. Children can wear black tights and black long sleeve thermals.
School hats are compulsory in terms 1 and 4. During this time children should also come to school with sunscreen applied and bring some to re-apply throughout the day. Children are welcome to wear sunglasses.
We would ask that each item of schoolwear is CLEARLY NAMED.
Second-hand uniform is sold via the Friends of School Uniform Facebook Page.
