Pupil uniform

The teaching staff of the primary school, in cooperation with the Parents' Association and the Central Pupil Council, decide on the type of uniform that pupils will wear by choosing the type or combination of types of school uniforms proposed by the Ministry in collaboration with the Pancyprian Parents’ Association for Primary Schools, according to relevant circular guidelines.

The Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth - after consultations with the Pancyprian Parents’ Association for Primary Schools - has sent a circular suggesting a number of formal uniforms which schools can choose from.

During the winter months (December, January and February) pupils are allowed to wear a cotton grey or blue tracksuit. Girls can also wear a skirt with thick tights or trousers of the same colour with that of the boys.

Both boys and girls have to wear ordinary black shoes but not athletic shoes. They can wear athletic shoes only during the lesson of Physical Education and sport activities. When pupils go to church or have a formal celebration or ceremony they have to wear the formal school uniform.
