Safe Footwear at School
It is mandatory for students participating in practical activities in Home Economics, Industrial Arts, Art, Science and Agriculture to wear substantial footwear. It is necessary for staff who work in these areas to also comply with OH&S requirements.
While it is difficult to specify any one standard to meet all situations, fully enclosed shoes with sturdy uppers, firm non-slip sole, no toe and heel openings and low heels are required.
As part of Macksville High School uniform policy in meeting OH&S guidelines, the substantial footwear policy ensures both safety and comfort for students while providing protection from injury in classroom activities.
