Uniform
When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community. Learn about our uniform and where to buy it.
Our school uniform
Students are expected to wear the full school uniform each day with PRIDE, including travel to and from school. The school is judged by students in uniform and their behaviour whilst in that uniform. Neat appearance in full and correct school uniform is essential. All clothing should be clearly labelled. School Locker provides students with Macarthur Girls High School uniforms and shoes. All can be purchased at the Macarthur Girls uniform shop on school grounds or online at School Locker.
The Uniform Shop is open every Tuesday morning from 8am to 12pm and every Thursday afternoon 12pm to 4pm. Any changes to opening hours will be communicated with parents.

School Bag
Study bag free of graffiti. The school bag must protect all equipment. Backpacks (with two shoulder straps) are the most suitable school bags. These bags put less strain on spinal development. Handbags are not appropriate for school use.
Additional Considerations

- a watch
- a plain cultural or religious chain (must be tucked inside school blouse)
- one simple ring
- sleeper or stud earrings (nothing bigger than a 5 cent piece)

The following items may NOT be worn at any time:

- short stockings or long socks
- beanies
- non-school neck scarves
- hooded jackets or jumpers
- blankets
Hair should be kept tidy and back off the face. In practical subjects such as PDHPE, Science and TAS, all students are required to wear their hair tied back. Ribbons or headbands should only be navy blue or white.
The sport uniform including sports shoes should not be worn as a school uniform or under the school uniform. Students who are persistently out of uniform may be subject to a Wednesday afternoon school detention.
Out of Uniform
It is recognised that on occasion a student may be unable to wear some parts of, or the entire correct uniform.
Notes from parents indicating the reason must be given to the Deputy Principal before school to receive a uniform ‘pass’. A uniform pass will be issued to the student and must be shown to any teacher, on request during the day.
Failure to follow these procedures will result in detention. If there is a long term issue, parents should notify the school directly, asking to speak with a Deputy Principal or the Head Teacher Girls Wellbeing so that an appropriate solution can be found. If students attend school out of uniform wearing items that pose health and safety risks, such as open toed shoes, parents/carers may be called to bring appropriate clothing to the school.
