Woodleigh has a strong identity.
It is a place of progressive education, where collective group identity is not the goal but an environment where students know themselves.
Woodleigh's uniform is available from The Bounty Shop. Families can shop in-store or have it delivered to their homes.
Early Years and Junior School Uniform
During the junior years, a sense of responsibility and respect for oneself are priorities. In line with this, we have a summer, winter, and sports uniform that is comfortable, durable and ready for action.
At Minimbah children from 4-year-old Kindergarten to Year 6 wear a compulsory school uniform, which is in keeping with our values and philosophy. During ECC 3 the uniform is optional.

Protective Clothing

Lost Property
Lost clothing items are collected and held in lost property, located outside the Hall door. Unnamed items not collected after some time are donated to the Second Hand Uniform Shop.
It is the responsibility of the students to check lost property initially and of the staff to organise Year 6 monitors to sort lost items and display these for collection at regular intervals.
Jewellery
Jewellery must not be worn. Rings, bracelets and necklaces can be dangerous in some activities and can be lost at school. It is the responsibility of parents and staff to enforce this rule.
Earrings are restricted to small gold or silver studs or sleepers (no large earrings).
Hair Accessories
Hair accessories should be minimal and kept within school colours of green, navy, taupe and white.

Senior School Uniform
As students enter the senior years of education, instead of a uniform approach for all, Woodleigh has a dress code which is more relevant for students of this particular age and stage.
There is a high expectation of appropriateness of dress just as there is the outside world. This balance between freedom and responsibility underscores the School's commitment to individual expression with its communal needs.
Our dress code at the Senior campus provides another space where students can express themselves freely while upholding high standards and a strong sense of self.
Dress Code
The intention is to encourage the wearing of practical and inexpensive clothing and to help students develop responsibility for choosing and looking after their own clothing. The Dress and Appearance Policy is flexible enough to both allow and encourage individual style and to emphasise neatness and presentability.
Rather than focus on precise details of dress, students are encouraged to make good judgements based on the following principles:
- A SunSmart approach
- Cleanliness and hygiene
- Good repair
- Decency (e.g., no bare midriffs or visible underwear)
- Safety
- Appropriateness for the occasion
- Appropriate for a school learning environment
- Regard for community expectations, especially extremes in appearance such as hairstyles and jewellery
Our aim is for students to learn to wear appropriate clothing for various situations. In this way students are making similar decisions about their clothing to when they leave school. Staff will work with students on interpreting these guidelines and will on occasions need to disagree and be insistent. It is expected that students will take responsibility for their school clothing needs and will ensure that they have organised their clothing for the week ahead.
The following should be observed by all students:
- It is strongly recommended that students wear headwear which protects from the sun, especially in Terms 1 and 4.
- Footwear for Home Economics, Manual Arts and Science practical lessons need to cover the top of the feet, including the toes. Students will not be able to participate in the practical components of these lessons if they are wearing inappropriate footwear.
- For health reasons, all students are required to have a change of clothing for PE, sport and sport-based Activities as well as sports shoes. Students need to wear the official Woodleigh Senior Campus sport uniform during these sessions.
- All items of clothing should be named.

Physical Education and Sport Uniforms
For health reasons, all students are required to have a change of clothing for PE. The Woodleigh School Sports polo shirt and gym shorts or girls' compression tights are compulsory attire for all students. Other official garments (team wear or sports-specific) are available for competition use.
