Uniform

Our school is focused on ensuring every student wears correct school uniform to school. As part of our involvement in the PBL initiative we actively encourage and positively support our students in wearing the uniform. School uniform reinforces the values of responsibility, teamwork and respect amongst our students.

The P & C, School Council and the AECG support our active encouragement of wearing school uniform.

Dress code for special items

Jewellery

This includes items such as rings, earrings, chains etc. The basic rule is to use common sense and be aware of safety issues within the school. Inoffensive standard jewellery is acceptable. This includes stud earrings, small chain to be worn inside the shirt, but to be removed for PE or sport.

Long dangling earrings, large loop earrings and chains (either around the neck or waist) are inappropriate and present safety concerns. Students may be asked to remove any jewellery which is unsuitable / offensive or a safety hazard.

Make up

Excessive makeup is inappropriate for school. Any student who wears clothing and / or jewellery which is offensive, may be removed from class and parents called. This includes: clothing bearing inappropriate symbols, pictures, or language, or messages such as those endorsing drugs or drug usage.

Contact may be made to discuss the matter with the parents/carers of students who continue to be out of uniform. Parents/carers may request support for the cost/provision of uniform items by discussing the matter with the Principal. The Principal should be contacted for any clarification on the uniform policy.
