Wales High School Uniform
Wales High School is tremendously proud of its tradition of having the highest standards of presentation for all students and their uniforms.
Our policy is based on the notion that a school uniform:
- Helps to promote positive attitudes and high standards
- Makes students feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance
- It gives students an identity and promotes a sense of pride in the school
- Encourages every student to take pride in their appearance
- Practical and smart
- It makes Wales High School students easily identifiable
