Taking into account recommendations from the Anti-Cancer Foundation an Urrbrae Agricultural High School Hat Policy has been adopted.

Whenever outdoors, for lessons or breaks, students are encouraged to wear a broad brimmed hat, use a broad spectrum sunscreen and wear Australian standard sunglasses.

For Agriculture and Physical Education, outdoor practical classes and for playing on the oval during Terms 1 and 4, the wearing of a hat is compulsory.
Beanies/caps, if worn at school, must be removed before entering indoor learning spaces.

Discreet jewellery only, for work health and safety reasons.
No visible piercing other than earlobes.

Leadership reserve the right to discuss the wearing of jewellery and make up that is deemed inappropriate for school.

Parents/carers and students enrolling at Urrbrae Agricultural High School are expected to support the school’s uniform requirements by ensuring that approved uniform items are worn correctly, are maintained in good condition, and meet the school’s published uniform guidelines. Where a student is not meeting uniform expectations, the school will work with the student and, where appropriate, their family to address the concern. Ongoing or repeated non-compliance will be managed in accordance with the school’s Student Behaviour Management Procedures.
