1. Are school uniforms compulsory?
It is not compulsory for State schools to impose a uniform requirement. However, schools can choose to impose a requirement if they wish, and students attending these schools must comply with the relevant dress code.
The principal and the school council are responsible for the management and control of the school. This includes making rules about the standards of dress and grooming for students. They should consider the personal, social and cultural background of individual students and should ask students and parents for their views when deciding on a school uniform.
