School Uniform
Echunga Primary School colours are NAVY AND YELLOW with a small screen printed logo of “Echunga Primary School” (from The Uniform Shop) to be on all T-shirts and windcheaters.
All students are encouraged to wear our uniform.
The wearing of the school uniform has many advantages which are as follows:
- To show pride in the school you attend
- To promote your school
- For safety on excursions
- For corresponding colours in school photos
- The elimination of the competition of wearing brand name clothing
- Hassle free mornings for parents when it is time to decide what to wear to school.
