General Uniform Guidelines
All students are expected to adhere to uniform regulations specified by the Board. You can view the policy here: 6.3 Uniform Policy 2021.
Students representing Westlake Girls High School for outside activities in cultural, service, academic or sporting pursuits must wear their uniform complete with blazer and representative tie.
Students are eligible to wear representative ties if they fulfil one of the following criteria:
- The student represents Westlake Girls High School as an individual and competes for a New Zealand or International title in an activity that is offered in the school
- The student is a member of a Westlake Girls High School team or squad competing at a national level or a New Zealand representative group or squad, in an activity that is offered in the school
If students have a genuine reason for not being able to wear the regulation uniform and seek permission to wear a non-regulation item, they must bring a note to their Form Teacher during form time that day and obtain a yellow slip. It must be retained and shown to any staff member on request.
Students not wearing the correct uniform can expect to be issued with the appropriate uniform detention, as detailed in the In School Discipline Policy. Any clothing bearing the school’s name or logo, in any form, must be approved by the Board of Trustees or the Principal as agent.
