School dress code
Yarwun State School is a uniformed school, and our students wear green and orange with pride. The bottle green/orange school shirt is available in Gladstone through Everything Uniform. Bottle green shorts, skirts, skorts, hats, sweatshirts, trackpants are available from retail outlets at very reasonable prices.
Hats are provided by the school and stay at the school. We are lucky enough to have our hats sponsored by ConocoPhillips. It is requested that long hair is tide back so that it does not infringe on students' peripheral vision and does not become a safety issue. A variety of bottle green clips, ties and bands are available through local retail outlets. Students must wear closed in shoes. Joggers allow students to participate in the range of activities of a normal school day. Black is the preferred colour for joggers. Socks must be visible above the top of the jogger.
School dress code principles
Shirts are to be worn tucked in when performing at official events or on photo day, and at least one of the buttons on the shirt is to be done up.
Shoelaces are to be firmly tied at all times.
Hair is to be neatly cut, clean and brushed. Students with long hair must wear their hair tied back. Hair is not to fall over the eyes. Colouring hair is not encouraged. Fingernail polish and make–up is not to be worn. Port Curtis and Capricornia team shirts are not part of our school uniform.

Items of religious or deeply personal significance require the consent of the principal. Permission to wear such items must be requested, in writing. Students may be required to remove or tape jewellery items when playing sport or when participating in physical education (HPE) lessons to prevent injury to self and others.
Winter uniform
The winter uniform is the regular school uniform with bottle green sweatshirt, jacket, trackpants worn over the top. Bottle green winter wear is readily available from retail outlets. It is advised that students bring shorts/ skirt in their bag as the will be asked to remove trackpants when the temperature reaches 24degrees.
Other
- Students representing the school in cultural (e.g. eisteddfod), Awards night or sporting teams must comply with the school dress code. Failure to comply with the code will disqualify the student from participating. The excursion note from the school will confirm the uniform requirements.
- It is advisable for a second uniform to be placed into the student's bag in case of an accident.
- If for some reason your child can not wear their uniform please contact the Principal.
