I was told by a few people that Public schools can't actually stop children from attending their school regardless of what they're wearing. I was concerned too because DD won't have all of the 'proper' school uniform. I am buying most of her things from target/big w which are still school colours, but without the emblem on them. She will still be wearing the same as the other children just without the school 'logo' (and many others wear the same). It was going to be ridiculously expensive otherwise.
