School Uniform
Your uniform is your identity with the school. It needs to be worn presentably and that means clean and tidy. Our standards for the acceptability of an item of clothing, hairstyles and accessories, is that it is smart and a good advertisement for Dargaville High School. The Senior Leadership Team will govern the suitability of what is acceptable and what is not. All clothing should be clearly named. No gang colours or regalia are allowed at any time.
