Parent and School Partnership
From the School Handbook:
School Uniform:
Please note that the School Uniform policy remains updated and reflects all current expectations to ensure that all students work to create a greater sense of equality among the student population despite the diverse socio-economic backgrounds of their families.
Of particular note are hairstyles. Current popular hairstyles include the ‘mullet’. This is not an acceptable hairstyle for school. Please note the section of the policy regarding hairstyles, jewellery and nail art.
HAIR
Students are required to wear their hair in a neat and tidy manner. Haircuts should be of an even grade. Hair should be well brushed and combed and it is assumed that hair will not be in such a condition as to invite comment.
BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING:
♦ Extreme styles, bleaching, colouring or dyeing of hair are not permitted.
♦ No mullet hairstyles are allowed i.e: where the hair is cut short at the front and sides, but is longer at the back.
♦ Gel, mousse and hair spray or other substances should not be used.
♦ There will be no undercuts, steps or shaved lines within the hair.
♦ Nothing shorter than a Number 3 comb is acceptable.
♦ Hair should not extend to cover the eyes.
♦ Long hair is to be tied back or plaited.
♦ Ribbons and bands of school colour are to be worn.
Students who do not abide by the haircut requirements will be asked to fix the identified problem.
JEWELLERY
Jewellery should be kept to a minimum – watches, chains with religious symbols are to be worn under the uniform, for girls one pair small earrings (studs or sleepers) in the ear lobe – no multiple earrings to be worn.
NAILS
Students’ fingernails are to be of a natural colour therefore no nail polish, acrylic, gel or shellac nails are to be worn to school.
MAKE UP
Students are not wear any makeup - no mascara, foundation, eye liner, lipstick, false eye lashes.
SHOES AND SOCKS
♦ Students are required to wear black leather school shoes.
♦ Shoes should be cleaned and polished.
♦ Sports shoes should be supportive, predominately white sport shoes/joggers.
♦ Sports socks must be white socks i.e. covering the ankle. ‘Sockettes’ are not appropriate for school wear.
ALL ITEMS OF UNIFORM MUST BE CLEARLY MARKED WITH THE CHILD’S NAME
All parents are asked to support their child/ren in adhering to the uniform policy. This will avoid the uncomfortable situation of receiving a uniform note or a phone call requesting the situation be rectified.
