Uniform shop
Our school proudly operates the official uniform shop, offering the full range of uniform items (with the exception of boys’ black and grey shorts, which are not supplied). As the exclusive supplier of all other uniform pieces, we ensure quality and consistency for our students.
Purchases can be made conveniently in person at our onsite uniform shop, located within the school office. Alternatively, families can order online through School Bytes, complete order form and email to the school. Uniforms will then be distributed directly to students at school.
We’re here to make uniform shopping easy and accessible for all families.
Uniform policy
Wearing uniform creates a good impression in the community and creates a positive image of the school.
It can shape expectations and influence reactions, often inaccurately. As addressed in the NSW Department of Education ‘Behaviour code for students’, students are to ‘dress appropriately by complying with the school uniform or dress code’.
The wearing of our uniform is important as it serves to identify the students of Narara Valley High School and foster our Positive Behaviour for Learning values of Respect, Responsibility and Personal Best.
Parental encouragement, positive reinforcement and persistence in the matter of uniform will be supported at school. As a school community our strength is working together. As parents and families are moving towards a new school year, many will purchase new school uniform items. It is important to stress that the School Office is the ONLY official supplier. Please see information of how to order below.
Acceptable school dress is not to be a matter of individual interpretation. If parents are having difficulty with the provision of a uniform, please contact the Principal.
Please support the school by ensuring that your children have sufficient items of school uniform and that the correct footwear is worn at all times. It is helpful to monitor what students wear to and from school as the appearance of students on their journeys to and from school as pedestrians or on public transport have a strong influence on how the community views Narara Valley High School and the wearing of the correct uniform is a reflection of student pride in themselves and the school.
Students who elect not to wear the designated uniform will be followed up in accordance with school policy. Under the School’s Discipline Code, the wearing of the school uniform is compulsory.

Narara Valley High School Safe Shoe Policy – WH&S
Black enclosed leather shoes must be worn at all times. Ballet shoes are not covered footwear. It is a WH&S requirement that students wear covered leather footwear especially for all practical activities.
Note: Thongs are never to be worn to any school activity. If the correct footwear is not worn, students will be set an alternative written task.
PDHPE and Sports Uniform
The only acceptable sports uniform is the new sports uniform available from the Uniform Shop.
Uniform Requirements in Specialist Subjects
Leather style joggers, skate shoes or suede shoes are not acceptable as they do not afford sufficient protection in science laboratories and workshop conditions.
Students who fail to wear correct footwear in these courses are unable to meet mandatory course requirements and may jeopardize their attainment of the ROSA.
An approved apron must be worn in Art, Technology and Food Technology. Aprons must not be plastic coated.
Parents who are unable to outfit students in the approved uniform for financial reasons should contact the Principal.
Blazers
Student Representative Council (SRC) members, student leaders, and representatives attending formal events outside the school are required to wear the official school blazer. Blazers are provided by the school and can be borrowed for the duration of the event.
