Guidelines on Attire and Grooming
A hair and attire check will be conducted at least once per school term.
Personal grooming
For all students:
Hair must be kept neat and tidy at all times. The fringe (if any) should not touch the eyebrows.
Artificial colouring of the hair is strictly not allowed.
Permed, outlandish and/or fashionably-cut hairstyles are strictly not allowed.
Fanciful spectacle frames, tinted glasses and fanciful contact lenses are strictly not allowed.
Fingernails must be short, clean and unvarnished.
No wearing of any form of make-up (including tinted skincare) or ornaments is allowed.
Acne pimple patches are allowed but they must be invisible.
In alignment to MOE’s tightened guidelines for use of smartphones/smartwatches in secondary schools, only analog and digital watches are permitted. Smartwatches are not allowed, except for POSB Smart Buddy Watch for e-payment which also cannot be connected or network-enabled.
For boys:
Must be clean-shaven and neat in appearance, with no sideburns. No moustache or beard is allowed.
Accessories of any sort are not allowed.
For girls:
Only one plain and identical (black/silver/gold) pair of ear studs is allowed to be worn at the ear lobes.
School Attire for all students
All students are to wear the prescribed school uniform and modification to the uniform is not allowed. All students should be neatly and appropriately attired for all school activities.
No colourful/fanciful undergarments are allowed.
No bracelets, rings, necklaces, chains or wristbands are to be worn with the school uniform.
Slippers, sandals, or other kinds of plain-coloured shoes are allowed to be worn only on medical grounds and a letter from a medical doctor must be produced.
PE attire (PE T-shirt and PE shorts) must be worn for PE lessons.
When the PE T-shirt is worn within and beyond the school premises, it must be accompanied by one’s white school bottoms or PE shorts.
Students are to continue to be in their school attire (i.e. full/half uniform or PE attire) for after-school activities.
When students return to school outside normal school hours and during school vacation, they are expected to be in school attire (i.e. full/half uniform or PE attire) or approved CCA attire.
