School Dress Code
The Department of Education WA provides a framework for public school dress codes through its Dress Codes for Students in Public Schools Policy and Procedures. Under this framework, the Principal works with the School Board to develop and regularly review the school dress code in consultation with the school community.
Please refer to our dress code in the Policy section of the website.
Our on-site Uniform Shop is run by the P&C with volunteer parents coordinating the purchase and sale of a wide range of summer and winter uniforms, school bags and hats at reasonable prices. Second hand items are also sold.

Factions
Kapinara Primary School’s factions help build a strong sense of community, belonging and school spirit, while encouraging students to participate in a range of intra-school sporting events and activities. Students are placed into one of three factions, each named after a prominent Western Australian Olympian.
Elliott (Blue)
Named after Herb Elliott, an Olympic gold medallist who won the men’s 1500 metre event in Rome in 1960 and was amongst the first in the world to break the four-minute barrier for a mile.
Strickland (Green)
Named after Mrs Shirley de la Hunty (nee Strickland), who won seven Olympic medals; gold medals in the 80 metre hurdles in 1952 and 1956 as well as the 4×100 metre relay, a silver medal in the 4×100 metre relay in 1948 and Bronze medals in the 1948 80 metre hurdles, 1948 and 1952 100 metres.
Winter (Red)
Named after John Winter, an Olympic Gold medallist for the men’s high jump in 1948.
Students may choose to wear their faction shirt on Fridays, outside of school sporting events. This is optional, and regular school uniform shirts may also be worn on Fridays.
