Uniform

School Uniform

At Christchurch Adventist School, our uniform is much more than just a dress code; it is a visible expression of our Special Character. We believe that every student is a child of God, and by dressing with simplicity and care, we honor our Creator and show respect for ourselves and our community.

Our goal is to create a focused, inclusive learning environment where every student feels they belong. By choosing modesty and neatness, we allow our inner character and the joy of service to shine through.

Transitioning to High School

We want to make the transition from Primary to Secondary as smooth as possible for our families. Please note the following options for our intermediate students:

Year 7 Girls: From Year 7 onwards, girls have the option to transition from the pinafore to the Year 7-13 Tartan Skirt.
Year 8 Students (Boys & Girls): To assist with the move to High School, Year 8 students are permitted to begin wearing the White logo blouse/shirt in preparation for Year 9. This allows families to purchase the secondary-style shirt a year early if a replacement is needed.

Modesty & Comfort

Undergarments: Thermal vests or t-shirts must be plain white and hidden from view.
Length: To ensure comfort and modesty, skirt and culotte lengths should be between 5cm above and 10cm below the knee (measured while kneeling).

Summer uniform may be worn during Term 1 and Term 4.
Sunhats are compulsory for Years 1-6 during Term 1 and Term 4, as are caps for Year 7 & 8.
