Predominately white lace up sports shoes (joggers).
Black leather college lace-ups provide protection and are required
daily in class.
The shoes described in the formal uniform ensure that students are prepared and protected for classroom endeavours.
Workplace Health and Safety demands that students wear shoes with thick distinct soles and ankle support for all practical subjects.
This is especially important when involved in Science, Home Economics and Industrial Technology and Design classes. For effective participation in Health and Physical Education and the sporting program, students are required to wear predominately white sports joggers.
These shoes are designed to cushion the foot and provide support during exercise and sport.
Expensive brands of sports shoes are not recommended or required. High ankle basketball style boots, volleys, slippers, ballet flats, high tops or any shoes of canvas material are not permitted.
SCHOOL BAGS
Wavell has a school backpack as part of our school uniform; however, it is not compulsory. We do expect students to carry an appropriate and ergonomically designed backpack that will withstand rough treatment.
Backpacks rather than traditional school bags or sports bags with handles, allow the load to be carried more evenly over both shoulders. The purchase of well-designed backpacks and their correct use is an important factor to promote good posture and minimise effort in carrying school bags. Backpacks with compartments, padded straps and hip straps assist in distributing the load evenly. There should be enough room to pack equipment for the timetabled school day and the maximum load should be no more than 10% of body weight.
