At St Padre Pio Catholic Primary School, our uniform promotes a sense of pride, belonging and community. Students are expected to wear the correct school uniform each day and present themselves neatly and respectfully.
The uniform has been designed to be comfortable, practical and suitable for both learning and play. Students wear the formal school uniform on most school days and the sports uniform on designated Physical Education days.
Wearing the school uniform helps create a positive learning environment where students feel part of the St Padre Pio community.
