Science Lab Coat Policy
In accordance with Work, Health and Safety requirements, students must wear correct protective clothing in Science. Students must wear a laboratory coat and enclosed leather shoes during all practical lessons.
A second hand lab coat can be purchased from the school for $15 or a new lab coat for $22 (however the cut-off date for purchasing a new lab coat is in Term 1). Other ways of purchasing a lab coat are listed below:
· Visiting a university and going to the university bookstore
· The Co-Op Bookshop online https://www.coop.com.au/
· The Australian Lab Coat Company http://www.labcoatcompany.com.au/lab-coats.html
· Uniform Super Store https://www.uniforms.com.au/healthcare-uniforms/lab-coats
· Search for a Lab Coat on eBay, Amazon, etc.
o Select the appropriately sized lab coat (bearing in mind this lab coat will be used up to year 10, and perhaps year 11 and 12 if a Science subject is selected for the HSC)
o It does not matter if the lab coat has the logo of a university or other company
o Select a white lab coat in the appropriate size.
