Excursion Policy
At Our Lady of the Cape Primary School, excursions play a major role in enhancing learning programs organised by the school for which students are required to be away from the school. They are an integral part of our educational program. They provide opportunities for both the educational and faith development of our students and reflect Catholic principles and values. The students gain opportunities to experience life outside of school in situations that they may not otherwise.

A uniform dress code reinforces in students a pride in their own appearance, instils recognition of themselves as an integral part of the Our Lady of the Cape Primary School community, and assists in developing pride in representing their school.
