UNIFORMS
The wearing of school uniforms is valued
by our school community as it assists in building pride
and school tone. Students are encouraged to take pride
in themselves and their appearance.
FORMAL UNIFORM: The school uniform has a blue and white
stripe. It is to be worn for formal occasions (eg. photos
and excursions) as well as for day to day wear.
SPORTS UNIFORM: A white polo shirt with a navy collar
and emblem worn with navy shorts or skirt is the school’s
sports uniform. This uniform can be worn for daily use
(except formal occasions such as school photos or excursions). An additional light blue T shirt was added to the uniform range in
recent years and has become very popular option for both boys
and girls.
A Uniform shop operated by the P&C is open Tuesday 8.30-9.30
and Thursday 2.30-3.30. A
wide variety of stock and school requirements.

The P&C Association
operates a healthy tuckshop for the convenience of school families
and to raise additional funds to enhance opportunities and
resources for our students. This year has seen the full introduction of EQs, Smart Choices - Healthy Food and Drink Strategy to encouage healthy eating.
A full Tuckshop menu is offered

of getting to know more of the school community.
BEHAVIOUR
MANAGEMENT
High standards of behaviour are expected.
Courtesy, consideration, respect and care are to be displayed
at all times. The well-being and safety of all is a key
priority.
Students are encouraged to accept responsibility for their
own behaviour and the choices they make. We take a pro-active
approach to developing self-discipline. Emphasis is placed
on a maintaining a positive, supportive environment. Clear expectations
are established, communicated and maintained. Behaviour
issues are handled promptly. Fig Tree Pocket State School has developed a school Code of Behaviour as required by Education Queensland. This document can be downloaded from the link below.

WALKING SCHOOL BUS
A walking school bus is a group of children walking to or from school with trained and approved volunteers from the school community. The 'bus' walks along a set route to or from school, picking up or dropping off children along the way at designated stops, similar to a normal bus route. Safety, fitness and and fun are all important aspects of this program. Please contact the school office to get in touch with our school walking school bus coordinator to register your child in this program.
