Dress code
The school recognises the need for tidy, safe and comfortable attire and for a business-like approach to personal appearance. Our school uniform gives a sense of identity and belonging and helps create our feeling of community. The following guidelines should be adhered to by all students:
Students are responsible for their personal appearance and are expected to take pride in it.
All students are required to wear all aspects of the school uniform as prescribed for their age group.
Neither make-up nor nail varnish may be worn.
Students may wear an inexpensive wristwatch.
Students with pierced ears may wear no more than a single stud in the lobe of each ear.
Students may wear a fine chain with a single, small pendant.
Other jewellery, including necklaces, bangles and friendship bands, is not allowed.
Tattoos and body piercing are not allowed.
Footwear must be black with no other coloured markings.
Students should wear short black, grey or white socks.
Hair should be kept neat and clean.
Hair dyes and highlights must be minimal and in natural hair colours.
Extreme hairstyles are not allowed, such as Mohican, fully shaved, hair patterns, etc.
Students with long hair (shoulder length or longer) should have it tied/clipped back for hygiene, health and safety reasons. Tied/clipped hair must be off the shoulders.
Students with a fringe below the eyebrows should have their hair tied/clipped back so that vision is not impaired.
Over-casual appearance and extreme styles will not be tolerated.
Tailored skirts should not be above the knee when standing.
Students wishing to wear a sweater/cardigan are allowed to do so provided it is black, dark blue, or grey in colour with no markings or logos. Hooded garments are not allowed.
Students in doubt as to what is acceptable should check with their teacher before taking action.
Exceptions may be made to the above points on cultural/religious grounds on a case by case basis.
