UNIFORM
EBIS has a school uniform which we want our students to wear with pride.
Wearing the correct uniform helps students feel a sense of belonging and ensures they look smart in the community, reflecting well on our school. We ask that parents ensure students wear the correct uniform each day, and provide a note if there is a reason they are unable to.
We are currently updating parts of the uniform (long sleeve polar fleece, polo shirt, and PE shirt). As old stock runs out, new stock will be introduced. In 2018 the Board approved a new school logo, which will be phased in over time. Over the next couple of years, there will be a mix of old and new uniform, so there is no immediate need to purchase new items.
Our EBIS uniform is made up of:
EBIS polo shirt
EBIS shorts
EBIS long pants
EBIS long sleeved polar fleece or EBIS hoodie
EBIS PE shirt
Black ankle socks
Other items which may be worn are:
Long sleeved black polyprops (winter) under polo shirts
Watch (No smart watches)
Simple studs or small sleepers (no larger than 10mm in diameter)
Black or EBIS blue head bands
Black or EBIS blue beanies - worn outside only
Caps or sunhats - worn outside only
Black/ EBIS blue leggings or tights
Our students come from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds. Items such as a cross, pounamu, or a black/EBIS blue head scarf may be worn with the uniform.
The following items are not permitted (health and safety reasons):
Non-school hoodies
Makeup
Nail polish
Necklaces, anklets, bracelets
Earrings other than simple studs or small sleepers (no larger than 10mm)

Non-uniform days are held throughout the year and linked to different events or causes, such as Pink Shirt Day. Dates will be listed in the school calendar. Students who choose not to participate are expected to wear full school uniform.
