The Bounty Boulevard State School Community has agreed on a dress code for all students, which support students to participate fully in school learning activities.
Consistent student dress standards promote students to share the school identity and communicate a positive image of our school as a highly regarded community of learners. We expect that all students uphold and enhance that image of Bounty Boulevard State School with good standards of dress and behaviour at all times.
Students are supported to:
- be of neat and tidy appearance at all times;
- wear the agreed BBSS uniform;
- wear enclosed shoes suitable for participation in physical activity each day;
- wear the BBSS wide brimmed, hat while engaged in outdoor activities; and
- wear the full uniform when representing our school at community events or activities.

Our uniforms utilise the recommended sun safety fabrics and appropriate styles which support the students to be sun safe and healthy, now and for the future.
