UNIFORM STYLE GUIDE

Reception to Grade 7

The school uniform is the most visible symbol ofidentity for Sunrise Christian School. It is expectedthat all children take pride in their appearance andthat this uniform will be worn in such a manner thatthe aim of glorifying God will be seen. Parents are to ensure that uniforms are well-fitted, clean, neat and worn in a dignified and respectful manner during the schoolday, and while travelling to and from the school.

The dress code of Sunrise Christian School has been established to help parents and students to know what is expected. It is not meant to stifle individuality but rather remove some of the distractions that prevent students from achieving their best academically, socially and spiritually.

The use of school uniforms at Sunrise Christian School is based on the Biblical principle of Unity in Diversity. God’s creation universally and consistently reflects this principle. For example, each leaf on a tree from a distance looks the same and indeed is conformed to the same pattern, however, after taking a close look, each leaf is uniquely different. Even though each leaf is distinguishably different, they belong to the same tree. This same principle applies to all animals, plants and indeed all living organisms.

By using this Biblical principle as a framework for the use of uniforms, we imply unity in the concept of being part of the school while acknowledging each child being an individual in their own right.

This Uniform Style Guide has been developed to assist children and parents in understanding how the school uniform is to be worn correctly. It explains the uniform policy and provides details of the School Uniform Shop.
