The Federal Court held that the School Regulations 1997 insofar as they prohibit pupils from wearing a turban as part of the school uniform during school hours do not contravene art.11(1); the wearing of a turban by the primary school appellants was not an obligatory or integral religious practice of sufficient constitutional weight, the prohibition was partial and contextually justified by legitimate school discipline and policy, and consideration of the pupils' age and proportionality rendered the restriction constitutional.
