Krugersdorp High School Uniform Guidelines

Krugersdorp High School – Official Dress Code

At Krugersdorp High School, learners are expected to wear the official school uniform with pride and maintain a neat and well-groomed appearance at all times.

Any additions or alterations to the school uniform that are not in line with official regulations—such as beanies or unauthorized accessories—are strictly prohibited. During casual dress days or special events that permit non-uniform attire, learners are required to dress modestly and appropriately. Revealing garments, beachwear, tight-fitting, sheer, or otherwise inappropriate clothing will not be allowed. Hair, footwear, and accessories must remain tidy and appropriate at all times.

Learners who, for religious, cultural, or verified medical reasons, need to deviate from the official uniform must submit a formal application along with supporting documentation. Only once approved by the School Governing Body, as outlined in Part 1, Paragraph 1 of the Code of Conduct, may such deviations be permitted.
