The wearing of uniform is encouraged at Richmond Public School. Uniforms may be purchased from our onsite Uniform Shop located in the Old Hall. Please download our School Locker information guide. There is also a used clothing pool based at the school.
Richmond Public school has a 'no hat, no play' policy in relation to the wearing of hats. Wide-brimmed hats and Legionnaire caps with the school emblem are available from the store above.
Uniform policy
The uniform policy was established by the school and the school community and is discussed on a regular basis at our parents and citizens' association (P&C) meetings.
- Necklaces, bangles, or any other pieces of jewellery are not to be worn. Studs or sleepers are permissible in your child's ear. Any earrings that dangle or are decorative are not permitted.
- Rub on tattoos are not permitted as this is not part of the school's uniform.
- Nail polish is not permitted. Clear gloss is acceptable.
- Any lipstick or eye shadow is also against the school's uniform policy.
- Any long hair should be securely tied back or in ponytails. This is not only for safety but to minimise the risk of nits.
- Ribbons, hair bands and headbands are to be in school colours and at a reasonable size not permitted are large oversized ribbons or bows.

Lost property
Lost property is kept in the main building. Every attempt is made to return lost property to the owner.
If your child loses an item of clothing please encourage them to look through the lost property cupboard. The cupboard is located inside the admin building at the bottom the stairway nearest to the principal's office. At the end of each term all unclaimed property is sold to students for the low cost of $2 per item.
