Uniform
Kerikeri High School is a school where school uniform is expected to be worn neatly and completely at school, travelling to and from school, and at school functions.
New students must be in full school uniform before they can start at Kerikeri High school. Please contact your Year Level Dean if you are experiencing any financial or supply issues before you start school.
We encourage students to wear sunscreen, sunglasses and hats when outdoors especially during Term 1 and Term 4.
Jewellery is discouraged for safety reasons and because expensive items can get broken or go missing. If you are concerned about jewellery, hair colour and/or make up, please talk with the Year Level Dean.
If there is a good reason why some item of uniform cannot be worn, a note must be brought from home to Te Puna Waiora prior to 8.40am and a short-term exemption may be issued, or the problem may be followed up in some other way.
If you are in doubt about any uniform item, please ask an Assistant Principal or Deputy Principal.

Year 13 Dress Code
The Year 13 students also have a Dress Code. They may wear tidy daywear, provided that they present themselves well. As for other students at school, we expect Year 13 students to be neat, clean and to take a pride in their appearance. Jandals, scuffs, work boots and socks, beachwear, collarless t-shirts, non-school beanies, and skimpy clothing e.g. showing bare midriffs, and clothing with large advertising logos are not permitted.
Kerikeri High School is our Year 13 students' place of work. As for our staff, we expect a smart casual standard of dress that is appropriate for their workplace.
