Uniform Requirements
Uniform is compulsory for all students. All students are to wear the uniform with pride, including shirts tucked in for boys and the tie is to be worn correctly (at the base of the collar). All uniform must be purchased through the school uniform shop unless stated otherwise. Parents purchasing uniform elsewhere risk it not being accepted by the school.

The Wainuiomata High School Uniform Policy with regard to shoes states the following:
Boys’ Shoes – Choice of:
a) Black polished leather or vinyl lace-up dress shoes (black laces only) not casual or sports shoes, suede, canvas or other fabric
b) Black polished leather, flat heeled, fully enclosed slip-on dress shoe
The following pictures show examples of shoes that are acceptable and unacceptable.
EXAMPLES OF ACCEPTABLE BOYS SHOES
EXAMPLES OF UNACCEPTABLE BOYS SHOES
Not acceptable because they are textured leather, stitching that is not black, or are sports styles.
Girls’ Shoes – Choice of:
a) COMPULSORY TERMS 2 AND 3 (OPTIONAL TERMS 1 AND 4) – Black polished leather or vinyl lace-up dress shoes (black laces only) not casual or sports shoes, suede, canvas or other fabric
b) Black polished leather, flat heeled, fully enclosed slip-on dress shoe
EXAMPLES ACCEPTABLE GIRLS SHOES (YEAR ROUND)
UNACCEPTABLE GIRLS SHOES
The shoes picturedare not acceptable because they are either patent leather, elasticated (not smooth) or have no back heel support.
There has been some confusion about which shoes are acceptable for boys to wear to school. It is very important to note that “Vans” and “Globes” are NOT acceptable footwear at Wainuiomata High School.
Globes and Vans are classed as casual shoes whereas the solid leather shoe is a more formal shoe suitable for more formal dress. Also, as the weather turns colder and wetter, students should only be wearing the official black school jacket (Canterbury brand or the newly approved unbranded shower-proof jacket).
Please check that your son or daughter follows these uniform regulations.
